Following Tuesday's post-close release of the company's second-quarter earnings, shares of cybersecurity name FireEye (NASDAQ: FEYE) jumped more than 18% during Wednesday's trading. On top of its rally that's taken shape since mid-March, FireEye stock is up more than 100% from its March 17 low.
That's impressive -- to the point of being intimidating. Most investors can appreciate this company's shares were hit particularly hard in February and the first half of March, but still, that's a tough act to follow.
Of all the things an investor might reasonably be worried about, though, the scope of FireEye's big rebound since March 17 isn't one of them. This stock is still an inviting one to newcomers, for the same reason it was at this time last year, the year before that, and the year before that. This company remains an impressive growth machine and continues to move deeper into the black.
