Why Scotts Miracle-Gro Stock Jumped 22% in November: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/711902/working-in-garden-scotts-miracle-gro.jpg

Shares of Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE: SMG) were climbing last month. The beaten-down lawn-care company got a spark after reporting fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that were rather weak but enough to encourage some investors to see a buying opportunity.

The cooler-than-expected inflation report for October also gave the stock a boost. According to to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, the stock finished the month up 22%. As you can see from the chart below, the stock surged through the first half of the month before giving up some of those gains in the back half of November.
