Better is a relative term....if you are a trader none of them or all of them if they make you money.
Photon used to be the largest cap now the smallest what does that say, high risk high debt growth fantastic in a bull market but....!
MCU used to be the smallest cap and was for a time recently the largest cap of the three.....low risk low debt growth better in a bear market.
Photon has now lost the confidence of the market and will struggle under a mountain of debt and big earnouts for a couple of years I think but will probably have its day in the sunshine again but the model doesn't work in a bear market.
STW is a similar model to Photon but not as aggressive and their fee structure is also more conservative which will constrain growth a little.
MCU is the most conservative and best managed IMO with a 100% ownership model and continued to acquire during the bear and now has publicly stated the buying spree is over which means the market is back to normal so we will chase organic growth. One of the few companies that did not issue shares or reduce divvies during the bear so for me the best long term investment.
