Earlier this month, one of those bulls, All-Star gweech, explained why the shares were worth paying up for:

[Hain Celestial] does not have the best balance sheet in the world and their stock is very expensive right now. However, I see more and more of [Hain Celestial] products and other "Whole Foods only" products in [Wal-Mart] on a monthly basis and I live in the sticks! The big play for [Hain Celestial] is mainstream distribution and that is worth the pick outperforming.
