LVS Advisory made the following comment about XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:XPEL) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:XPEL) primarily sells paint protection film which is a coating that protects the paint job on cars. This is a high margin specialty chemical product that is rapidly growing in adoption globally. The company has successfully expanded its product line from paint protection film to window tint with an opportunity to sell additional auto accessories down the road. The business is run by an incredible entrepreneur who navigated the business from the brink of bankruptcy 10 years ago and generated incredible returns for investors in the public markets. We purchased the stock during Q2 when the stock price was depressed due to the shortage of new car production. I see an attractive long-term opportunity for the company to continue growing its distribution of paint protection film and expand into more product adjacencies.”
