as I said perfect buying opportunity
missed EPS by a mile on higher than expected revenues.
as I said the analysts didnt realize the R&D and marketing costs of developing three new Axon products this quarter.
Bound to crash initially and then let it settle and buy.
another 2200 ordered today.
So why is it dumping ?
looks like a buying opportunity
revenues huge beat and why were analysts expecting higher R&D and marketing costs with the competition and new products being rolled out.
Margins were at least positive overall which is great and shows a well managed company investing for the long haul.

Let me know what you discover on the PE if you dont mind. I was worried about the gap from March in the 25s being tested. I agree, nothing has appeared to change with the company nor the products. Thanks for the input!
a quick look back at the charts indicates reasonable support in mid 20's from Feb-April this year
nothing has changed in the company apart from an awfully managed and presented conference call for what were record numbers.
I wasn't expecting it to fall again today so I hope it is at the bottom now but who knows - I am showing no shares available to short on Interactive brokers- so the shorts have been out already now the naked shorting begins?
I may do more fresh DD and r]look at the P/E ratios moving forward against projected earnings growth - if they fall into reasonable line in 2 years we should be ok here.
Yea I got the bulk of my holding in the 3.00s and have been buying all the way up. I made the mistake (now looks like) buying a good lot on the dip to 29 yesterday and then got more this morning. I am going to hold off on buying more now as my avg has jumped to 14pps. Not liking that at all haha.
Do you think it will fall back into the teens?
I guess the bottom will be where ever I bail - bought originally under 10 and more around 14 have sold off some to book some profit but expected them to stay well above $25
Considering bailing here - but as I said the will ride straight up then.
ask yourself:
"has the business model changed?" has the MArket changed? are they better positioned in the market than before
if the answers haven't changed since you first bought - buy more...
Not sure the market is understanding the AXON model where they get cash annually for a service that includes hardware replacements at 3 and 5 years and a lot of IT services (very low cost per contract).
So hard to know how to account for them in the books and forward looking projections
where is the bottom? Any have any guess of how low this could actually go?

$TASR DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/TASR
I'm sure they use Taser weapons (all police forces do) but not sure about Cameras. I know they put out monthly PRs but haven't looked for an online database of the resulting "who uses our cameras" site.
Wonder if the . . .
police agencies in and around Waco, TX utilize the TASR products ?
I have added from initial entry around 14 I think (2 years ago?) but took some off when we were around $26. May sell soon as analysts are questioning valuation but then it will run on any unrest.
Need to spend time analyzing how the monthly list of orders influences the price and if we can play the stock or options accordingly. Detail like that isn't my strong point
Thanks for the link.
Initially , Got in in the low teens some time ago, sold just into 20's. Should have gotten back in when it dipped back. I waited til it was a little higher than my last post at 24+
but onward and upward from here.

TASR xxx.xx !!!$$$
Been long this stock for years (ID created today). Should be more activity on this board. Better than Yahoo's.
Taser started talking on officer cams back in 2007 or 2008.
That's when I got really interested. Has taken a long time but is proving worth it. Taser did an investor presentation that spoke to 3 scenarios. A slow medium and a 'if we get lucky' rollout. Looks like we are experiencing the latter as all these current events are developing very fast and frequently.
I like the way they are positioning the company to dominate like the Taser weapons. Will be harder to dominate that space but they are moving faster than anyone else I am aware of.
Triple digit stock price will come. Just how big that number is? That's fun to think about.
Good luck to any longs. I know I wouldn't short this.
Where is everyone?
I gotta say I'm a little shocked at the lack of activity here. I don't understand after the current events how more people haven't put 1+1 together. I'm just beating myself up for not entering sooner, a lot sooner. I think this will be a $100 stock.
TASR will run like TESLA!!!$
TASR) 34sss, tasers and body cameras are a huge buy in the police dept must have items!
Strange AH stronger
Street catching on to reoccurring
data revs. Bigger margins than harware
"Total AXON and EVIDENCE.com bookings were $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $17.0 million, or 288% compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2014."
that is one nice read in the morning!
Surprised the AXON segment didnt do better but I know the cameras are being sold cheaply subsidized in part by the EVIDENCE.com subscriptions.
TASER Reports Quarterly Revenue of $44.8 million and EPS of $0.13
Source: PR Newswire (US)
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.
TASER's HQ in Scottsdale, AZ. TASER is a technology solutions provider with its TASER Smart Weapons and AXON body-worn law enforcement cameras. Photo courtesy of TASER International, Scottsdale, Arizona USA.
"TASER International is off to an outstanding start in fiscal 2015 thanks to strength in the TASER Weapons segment, as well as continued growth and new wins in the AXON business," said Rick Smith, TASER chief executive officer. "New programs such as the Standard Issue Grant Program are examples of how we are partnering with law enforcement agencies for the long-term, and we are enthusiastic thus far about the results of our investments."
First Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:
Net sales were $44.8 million in the quarter, an increase of $8.6 million, or 23.7%, compared to first quarter 2014 net sales of $36.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by increased TASER X26P and TASER X2 Smart Weapon sales which increased $7.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of the prior year. International sales were $9.0 million in the quarter, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the prior year first quarter.
TASER Weapons segment revenues grew $5.9 million year-over-year, or 18.1%, to $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in Smart Weapon sales of $12.0 million was partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in the legacy TASER X26 CEW sales as it has been retired from production as of December 31, 2014. The first quarter of 2014 also had a $2.5 million TASER XREP sale that did not repeat in the current period.
AXON segment revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 73.1%, to $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 in comparison to the prior year first quarter. The increase was partially driven by a $1.2 million increase, or 185.6%, in service revenue compared to the first quarter 2014 which was driven by an increased license count for EVIDENCE.com. AXON on-officer hardware sales increased $1.9 million compared to the prior period as more cities embrace this technology.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 was 66.7%, compared to 61.4% in the same period last year.
TASER Weapons segment gross margins increased to 71.1% in first quarter 2015 compared to 66.4% in first quarter 2014. The increase was partially driven by the completion of the depreciation of the automated cartridge production line at the end of the fourth quarter 2014. The first quarter 2015 gross margin also improved due increased leveraging of fixed overhead costs, as the Company accelerated production activity to replenish its safety stock of inventory in anticipation of higher future sales volumes.
AXON segment gross margins improved to 40.6% in the first quarter 2015 compared to 17.5% in the first quarter 2014. AXON product margins (e.g. excluding AXON services) increased to 30.1% compared to 12.6% in the prior year. The improvement in margins can in some measure be attributed to a partial reversal of the fourth quarter 2014 inventory loss reserve related to components of the AXON camera line as the Company was able to include some of the previously written off parts in its new AXON Signal product. The increase in prices on the AXON cameras and EVIDENCE.com service that occurred in July 2014 also contributed to increased product margins in the first quarter of 2015. AXON service margins increased to 65.3% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 40.0% in the prior year. There are fixed costs related to the provision of software as a service and once a critical mass of licenses is reached, cost of service delivered margins will improve.
Total AXON and EVIDENCE.com bookings were $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $17.0 million, or 288% compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 increased $0.8 million, from $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 32.5% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 38.0% in the prior year first quarter. Compared to the prior year, personnel expenses increased $1.3 million as the Company has increased customer-facing positions as well as some administrative functions. Increases were also seen in accounting and consulting fees as well as increased travel expense as the Company works to grow its international presence. These increases were partially offset by lower expenses related to the defense of product and commercial litigation. The Company expects SG&A expenses to continue to climb in 2015 as the Company continues to invest and grow the infrastructure necessary to achieve its initiatives of increasing revenues internationally and in the AXON segment.
Research and development (R&D) expenses of $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2015 increased $1.0 million when compared to the first quarter of 2014 driven by additional personnel expense related to AXON segment product development initiatives. The Company continues to expect increased expenses in R&D in 2015 as it adds headcount to support new functionality and new capabilities to the AXON platform, cameras and related hardware.
Income from operations increased $5.9 million, or 121.3%, to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-gaap measure, increased $5.9 million to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Income taxes in the first quarter were $3.5 million.
Net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $7.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014.
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company generated $13.0 million in cash from operating activities. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $104.8 million at March 31, 2015, up from $90.4 million at December 31, 2014. Included in these balances were $14.7 million and $9.3 million in long-term investments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company announced a total of 71 significant orders for its X26P and X2 Smart Weapons. These orders represented a total of approximately 10,600 Smart Weapons.
Included in these totals was the significant deployment of 1,000 X2s by the Ontario Provincial Police. The approval of Smart Weapons in Canada was only received in the fourth quarter 2014, and we are encouraged to see our first significant order so soon.
