Constellation Software went into this earnings print with the stock already up 21.4% over the past three months and 7% over the past month. That is a rich setup for any surprise.

Recent gains sit alongside a market multiple that screens as undervalued, while the broader checks send a more balanced signal. A 47.7% return over three years points to shareholders already seeing solid gains, so any further upside now matters more to new buyers than to those who bought earlier. Canadian Tire...
