Ongoing Sale

Strategic alternatives still ongoing with meaningful upside over the next 12 months and management sells the remaining division

A company I have covered closely in Grit Alpha reported earnings yesterday.

The stock traded down 7% on a weaker than expected earnings report.

The earnings miss was from a delay in orders that will be pushed back into Q2, with management reaffirming that Q2 will be substantially stronger than Q1.

It appears as if short-term traders have sold out of the equity hoping for a quick pop.

Even better, the management team said strategic alternatives were still ongoing. My best guess is the company is sold for $2.20-2.50 per share in the next 12-18 months.

The stock remains one of my largest positions and the recent selloff allows fundamental investors with a long-term horizon to accumulate additional shares at an even more attractive price.

With a stock price of $1.62 per share at the close, I am underwriting a target upside of 35-50%.

Now before we dig into the company, first a word from today’s sponsor…

The alternative asset you probably haven't yet considered: Private credit. 

Persistent inflation and paltry returns have rightly intensified the investor scrutiny of the underperforming traditional stock-bond portfolio mix — leading many to consider diversifying into less-correlated assets.

Private credit is an asset class of non-bank loans and could bring significant advantages to a portfolio. These assets tend to be:

• Shorter duration, potentially reducing price volatility due to interest rate fluctuations and lessening the risk of an adverse credit event during the tenor of the transaction, given the limited holding period.

• Secured, providing some downside credit protection and a more attractive risk-return profile.

• Less correlated with traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds, improving portfolio diversification and the prospect for returns.
