Here's an extract from Market Movers in today's Globe & Mail

Also this past week, the company reported that its first-quarter profit soared to 16 cents a share from break even.

Then yesterday, Groome Capital Advisory Inc. analyst Michael Deighton was quoted by the Dow Jones news service as saying the shares could climb to $23.50 over the next 18 months on the Nasdaq Stock Market, up from the initial public offering last October of $12.50. The shares ~ closed yesterday at $18 on Nasdaq, - having gained $2.12 on the day.
