ADT - Where Is The Security?

ADT has given up all the gained ground since the Google deal in 2020. The company is struggling along as the partnership still has to deliver on tangible results, while ADT has made a convincing move into the solar business as well. There are many moving parts and question marks, but the retreat in ADT's share price means that valuations have come down quite a bit. Real appeal has to come from solid execution, which is a big "if."
