Planet fitness is currently for the third year on the stock market and made some serious gains. The stock price has increased with more than 164% in the last 3 years. But how does this come? The company is building new gyms all over America in a very high speed. If we take a look at their fundamentals we will see this. (in millions)

The EPS seems to getting lower, but the outstanding share have been doubled. When the outstanding shares would have stayed the same the eps would have been near to 0.80
The company has a perfectly balance current debt to equity rate and can pay the total debt within a month of net earnings.
When we take a look at the chart we will see a huge drop in the last months. this can be caused of global pressure, raising interst and a lower overall market, but not on the numbers of this company. The upcomming recession could work in favor for Planet fitness because it is a low cost gym. The stock price is near to the 200 EMA wich has given support and resistance in the past. This could cause another drop, but the company is outperforming the markets and the fundamentals are still growing which will make higher highs in the future.
