PDEX - My Largest Position - Page 4 - Business, Finances and Investing Forum

This has been the best performer in my portfolio by a long shot, thank you sir!

Any other stocks you like right now, especially anything else in the "above avg companies run by great mgmt" for the long haul category?

Have gotten a few questions about this on here and privately. I don't want to post other names in this thread but i would like do something either here on 2p2 or maybe elsewhere. I'll post an update here when i figure out what i'm going to do.

Hard to know for sure but likely just variance. The large increase in trading volume is likely to bring increased volatility (up & down) in the stock price going forward here.

Jumped in a couple days ago @ 5.01. Anyone know why short interest is picking up? (Still insignificant, but has increased about 5x over the past 4 months)

Long way to go and a short time to get there.

Yes. Short interest increased because more shares have been sold short. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help, there could be reasons like:
This naturally happens as volume picks up on a stock
" " " " " market cap increases for a stock
Some other reason I am not familiar with

I would guess bc it was way overbought way past earnings, and the next momentum going up will be near the next earning report coming out mid September. Lots of people chasing the upswing getting out on the way down. Or protecting wins and selling ofF. Shorts will be buying back shares beginning of September I think.

Definitely not a bad price under $4.50 here. Earnings in September should be really good.

I went long today at $5.28, and $5.35

Interesting to note in the 10-Q on page 25, what effect does this have on subsequent years?

- "The decrease in sales to this customer is due in part to a mutual agreement between our customer and us to allow them to take deliveries of existing purchase orders in full over a mutually agreed extended term ending in December, 2016. We believe that the demand for this orthopedic shaver product has declined."

Earnings should be out sometime this week or early next week.

Here is my estimate, could see scenarios that are better here especially from a revenue perspective but SG&A could also be higher so I think this is a good median, hopefully they crush it.

Rev: $5.85m
GP: $1.58m
SG&A: $1.09m
OI: .$5m
EBITDA: $.645m

And the company just filed another automated share buyback plan here after hours, the third one they have filed in the last 3.5 months. The company is desperately trying to buyback stock, love it.

I wonder if they were the ones buying like crazy 3 weeks ago when it went from low volume at the $4.55ish range to $6+ in 2-3 days big volume.

Likely not the company buying. The automated plans are pretty restrictive on how much stock they can buy in a day and the price ranges are also pre-set, i'm guessing the buy price was set somewhere under $4.50 so i'm not sure how much stock the company was actually able to buyback over the last four months but we'll find out when the 10-K is released here shortly. The runs up to $6+ i'm pretty sure was driven by day traders.

Earnings most likely tonight after the close. Seems like they typically report on a Thursday.

Do they typically not post an earnings release date in advance of earnings?

Results look fine, top line came in $500k less than I was expecting I think i either misinterpreted the backlog from last quarter or some shipments got delayed ill find out. 100k shares repurchased in last 3 months (2.4% of outstanding) at $4.55ish. They landed some massive purchases that will have their largest customer buying $12m/yr starting January 2017. Sounds like the earnings in Nov and Feb will probably be similar to the last two quarters and then the May release should be a monster probably $7m+ which would put them on a runrate toward $28-$30m revenue.

Very good

$12m/yr new purchases for 2017 and 2018 sounds amazing

Good to hear. I'm curious to see happens tomorrow. Seems like the underlying business is doing well but on the surface it looks like kind of a ho/hum quarter.
