Zeev, if we assume that vlnc only breaks even on $40M in sales, then X3 is 0 an A-Z is 2, not 3. You did challenge me to get it over 1.8 didn't you? Well, if you don't keep forgetting the $20M IDB money (this is not the first time I've had to point that out to you), then the point is that the company has to break even on $40M sales to clear 1.8. Actually they would come close if they could break even on say $25M sales.
Larger sales and/or any positive EBIT will push them up towards 3 rather rapidly, and any sustained advance in stock price will also move them up quite quickly on the scale, probably well above 3.
I have to admit, this is a very interesting tool. thanks for introducing me to it!
Do you disagree with any of the above?
Again, with no PO, valence looks like a terminal patient on very expensive life support. The stock price reflects a belief that PO(s) are a given and probably not much more than break even level of sales.
Absent a PO, the stock will be subject to downward pressure. A tiny $10M PO will not stop that without more financing. Even a great financing deal will not help much without PO's. PO's and the access to IDB monies are the difference between a stock which may well be very undervalued at this level and one which is clearly overvalued.
I don't know about you, but A-Z really confirms for me what i already know about this situation. You seem to still be a little stuck on 'they don't have money', but that's only when you forget about IDB. Or you just don't believe what the market is telling you about an imminent PO. I can't argue with your beliefs on that score, mine are just different. |
