Analyst Scott Hamann noted shares have gained 62.7 percent since his initiation report on Nov. 1 versus 12.5 percent gain of the S&P 500 in the same period.

“While CWH has compelling growth prospects, and we believe that there is upside potential to current Street estimates given continued dealer acquisitions and solid industry momentum, we believe that the risk/reward is appropriately balanced with only modest potential upside from current levels,” Hamann wrote in a note.
