Despite recent valuation concerns on moderate growth, one Fool thinks WD-40 trades at a premium for different reasons.

Shares of WD-40 (WDFC -0.66%) initially rose 12% last Tuesday after the company announced earnings, but gave back all those gains, and has traded flat since then.

But, while some investors are concerned about whether WD-40's growth actually supports its valuation, there is one big reason shares of this company trade at a relative premium, says Fool contributor Steve Symington in the following interview with the Fool's Alison Southwick.
