Toro's Stock is Up 30% Over the Past Year

Toro (TTC) is well-known for its seemingly ubiquitous lawn mowers but the company is also a major player in commercial landscaping and irrigation systems for vast expanses of green (Think ball parks and golf courses). On the plus side, the stock is up more than 30% in the last year, sports a dividend yield of nearly 2% and enjoys a high-quality return on equity of nearly 35%.

On the downside, the relative valuation is looking a bit stretched, seeing as the stock trades at pretty significant premiums to its own five-year average on both a trailing and forward earnings basis, according to Thomson Reuters data. Furthermore, the company could be facing higher input costs as commodity prices continue to soar. Whether the company can grow into its valuation during the spring selling season remains to be seen.
