Awaiting news. The family, industry connected, and friends need an end of year bump to buy Thanksgiving and other end of year items.

[danr1]

We honestly need an update from the company on how they are addressing the N95 demand
The strongest demand in history

We are almost back to pre pandemic price

Did they not spend millions on new equipment to increase production.

It is about the investors !!

[papadedavid]

Adding here...GLTA...glub

[papadedavid]

Yep...but going wrong direction...;O(

[danr1]

I just saw May schools are going to N96

No excuse for the company not to get in on this In the last report they said they had a large inventory of N95

[papadedavid]

Monster news for this stock??

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/19/us/politics/covid-biden-free-masks.html

"The Biden administration promised to correct those deficiencies. At a Senate hearing last week, Dawn O’Connell, the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Department of Health and Human Services, said the stockpile now had 737 million N95 masks, all from domestic manufacturers.

The government is also soliciting proposals from companies that have the ability to surge production to 141 million N95 masks per month in a crisis, and that would be able to maintain manufacturing at a much lower rate when demand is lower, so that the nation would never again be caught short in a public health emergency, Ms. O’Connell said.

The idea, she said, is for the stockpile to “keep this capacity that we currently have going even when demand diminishes.”

If Alpha can not sell all the masks they produce in this demand environment ….. the really do need to make some changes
Really!

Influenza outbreak starting! (chart)

We have an influenza outbreak starting at same time COVID cases are surging in US. This could cause short covering in sector and see demand for protection as people freak over flu being covid

Could easily rally to $7.50+ range

[danr1]

If the company has such a high profit margin and bought and set up new equipment to make masks….. and now they have a huge amount of inventory…. Why not drop the price and move them masks

[danr1]

I am very disappointed in today’s report
The company has lost the drive. No excuse to have the mask sale they have
I sold and and moving on to something with life in it

$APT Research Nester has released a report titled " Social Distancing Gear Market - Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2028" which also includes some of the prominent market analyzing parameters such as industry growth drivers, restraints, supply and demand risk, market attractiveness, year-on-year (Y-O-Y) growth comparisons, market share comparisons, BPS analysis, SWOT analysis and Porter's five force model.

A news release was shared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the 3 rd of March 2020, which stated the growing global demand for protective equipment that has created a shortage of such protective equipment. Additionally, the WHO also requested in the statement by requesting the industry and governments to raise the manufacturing of these necessities by 40% so that they can meet the worldwide demand.

The statistics portray the growing demand for social distancing gear on the back of the ongoing global pandemic disease, COVID-19, which has taken numerous lives around the world. The WHO also stated in a situation report that was published on 28 th of April 2020, 10:00 CEST, that the total number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus disease outbreak stood to 2,954,222 numbers and 202,597 deaths worldwide. The growing concern for the disease also requires that healthcare workers need to fight the situation by treating the patients at the frontline, which raises the need of the governments of the nations around the world to have adequate supply of such social distancing gear, that is known to protect individuals from getting contaminated from deadly diseases. As most of this equipment are designed for single use, hence they are disposed off once worn. As such, there is a growing demand from the government of the nations for greater supply of social distancing gear, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the global social distancing gear market. Additionally, increasing fear amongst individuals to protect themselves from the disease is also anticipated to drive the growth of the global social distancing gear market over the coming years.

"The Final Report will cover the impact analysis of COVID-19 on this industry (Global and Regional Market)."
