Bob, Paul B., Jane, and thread:
Thanks for drawing my interest to this issue. Like Jane, I follow smaller St. Louis stocks (LB, EASI, ZOLT, TRPS, etc.), and this one has gotten favorable press recently. My full service broker, called on 18 March, surmises that the stock has flown a bit high lately, but would be attractive at $17-18. This is not the sort of issue that this firm typically follows, so I would add that the analyst report is bullish on fundamentals and notes that its earnings assumptions are not especially aggressive. Debt's a concern compared to similar companies. Sees a price of $20-21 in twelve months -- boy, time flies fast! He's been way wrong before, and gosh knows so have I (WFR, ouch).
Thanks again, though -- I'm watching the marketing strategy and the new product areas, and expect to join you soon. |
