RAIL THE MONSTER EARNINGS PLAY HAS BEEN BEASTING
$3.30 Pre-market. Earnings today.
Forming a nice base. Nearing buy territory on my charts. Just a FYI. HAWK
See if it continues going forward. The downward cycle might be broken with a close over $3.28...until then
No volume or interest from market. Next quarter they have new plant fully functional...maybe that's the catalyst. Like to see 2,70's hold...can move anywhere with this volume
I believe the est. was for a -.02 loss and actual -.21. Looks like more downside in the works. HAWK
Bad numbers. -.2 est. actual -.21. Not good, IMO. CC today?
PPS holding up well considering the bad numbers. I'm holding for now. Just a FYI. HAWK
Numbers worse than expected. I'll wait for the panic selling to get over done before I put bids in. HAWK
Bought $3.10. Just 100 shares. HAWK
Getting close to a reversal. On my watch list. HAWK
Why would great earnings and tens of billions of dollars in investment in Rail cause stock symbol “Rail” to increase when the CEO can complain about steel prices being too high? This market embarrasses itself on a daily basis, some of the terrible earnings that saw SP increases yesterday … while infrastructure affiliated companies saw heavy losses… TARD market.
Great earnings .03 vs (.16) estimate and revenue was more or less in line with estimates, plus infrastructure funding the drop in SP this morning was to close all gaps ahead of a major long term run, stocks are about the future, all imo

FreightCar America, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results
Fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross margin, second consecutive quarter of positive manufacturing operating income
Company reiterates delivery outlook for fiscal year 2021
FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Business Highlights
"Overall, we are pleased with FreightCar America's continuing momentum, including our fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross margin," said Jim Meyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. "However, our results for the quarter were impacted by the difficult launch of a new railcar model. That event aside, which is now well behind us, we wholeheartedly believe in the business transformation we've completed and remain focused on returning to long-term growth and profitability."
Meyer continued, "While industry demand fundamentals remain strong, the pace of recovery is being gated by certain external factors starting with raw material cost inflation. Sales inquiries, however, continue to be very healthy and support our footprint expansion announced earlier this year."
Meyer concluded, "We are also pleased to announce that subsequent to quarter-end, we received a portion of the outstanding VAT receivable in Mexico. As of today, we have received $10.2 million of the outstanding VAT receivable, which was $30.1 million on September 30, 2021."
Third Quarter Results
-- Non-cash charge of $0.3 million related to the change in the fair market value of warrant liability in the third quarter of 2021 reflecting the Company's share price appreciation during the period. In the second quarter of 2021, there was a non-cash gain of $3.5 million, reflecting the Company's share price depreciation during the period.

Major government investment in rail pending ready to roar imo
Back to the Future 3, Rail was utilized, November 13, 1955 Marty —-> 1885
1885 in letters is RHE..L is the missing code letter, for 12 (December)… RHEL… Rail
1.21 gigawatts (2021)
Biden = Rail, Passengers Bide their time on trains
All imo
So I just started looking at RAIL. Anyone have any insight on this company and there future? I have read a lot of the past post.
I'll buy in... when it hits .... $4.69 but will watch it for about 24 hours to 48 to see if it goes lower but I've seen a lot of chatter about "the squeeze" and a target of 4.59 bottom.
The SP is volatile no clear direction imo
Amtrak Biden clarified his comments on infrastructure correlating with a budget bill , so that would be good for rail companies, in theory
Closed under the bollinger band on the one month hopefully this doesn’t test the lower band on that pattern and instead moves higher with infrastructure rumor

Hey Clay
If you get a chance can you do an updated chart on RAIL?
Thanks!
Great day for RAIL - currently up 30.5%
Here's to hoping that $4.5-$5 is the new support level!

All out today. Sold my last block at $3.75. I'm conservative when taking profits. Always scaling out. Will look for a reversal as per the chart. This one's a keeper.
It isn't here. It was where I bought. I'm looking to sell in this range.
it's a chart play. Nice ascending channel with a few variations. I buy when it's near support, sell when it's near resistance. Played it several times now. It is a fixture on my watchlist. I play #RWLK and #SINT the same way. If one of them deviates from the chart dramatically, I will re-access it. Fun fun fun...
Why is this a good buy?

"Warrant
In connection with the entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (the “Warrant Acquisition Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 23% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The Warrant is exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 after the Company received stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the Warrantholder. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company and the Lender entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as of the Closing Date of November 24, 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 5,386,591 and 5,307,539 shares, respectively of common stock of the Company with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the Warrant in a variable number of shares of common stock. The Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.
As part of the Second Amendment Loans executed on May 14, 2021, if any amount remains outstanding on March 31, 2022, the Company shall immediately issue to the Lenders additional Warrants to purchase 5.0% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the date of any partial or full exercise of such Warrants at the agreed purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Company believes that it is probable that the Additional Warrant will be issued and as such has recorded an additional warrant liability of $7,351 as of September 30, 2021.
2020 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights
During 2020, the Company granted 1,139,464 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock from the date of grant of the stock appreciation right to the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right. The cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of unvested cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.
2021 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,735,500 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights allows the holder to receive, upon exercise, and subject to the vesting restrictions, a distribution in cash equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is contingent upon the achievement of a thirty-day trailing average fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock of 133.3% ($3.17) or more of the exercise price per share ($2.38). When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent upon the attainment of a target stock price, the award is considered to be subject to a market condition.
The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. Because vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights included a market condition, the grant date fair market value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights of $1.74 was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the market condition for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights was met. Thereafter the Company measures the fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested, the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.
The estimated fair value of the cash settled stock appreciation rights as of September 30, 2021 was $7,261. Stock-based compensation for cash settled stock appreciation rights was $(365) and $192 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2,315 and $261 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company paid $0.5 million to the Warrantholder in relation to the Amendment described in Note 8 Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company paid $2.0 and $5.1 million to the Warrantholder during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, for term loan interest. Additionally the Company paid $1.0 million in equity fees to the Warrantholder related to the standby letter of credit described in Note 8 Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net Loss
As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net loss was $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $70.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, basic and diluted net loss per share was $2.11 compared to $5.30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
