On CAPS, 96% of the 339 members who have rated 8x8 believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those bulls, All-Star DrGoldin, tapped the stock as a particularly timely bargain opportunity:
As I've said in a pitch or two before, this is a growth company priced like a value trap. [Friday's] sell-off only makes it that much more attractive. 8x8 is going to see double-digit growth every year until one day it's finally taken over by some Goliath. Cha-ching.
