Do they have product inventory here? Will they emphasize international markets? Tariffs will be widespread in the US home improvements sector, not just for this company.
I missed seeing the b&a walked down to .24. Pity. Now, tho, it is clear the pps was traded down at the open and the buyer got a big position cheaply. Lucky them. Might there be more such gyrations before we have a move up?
I was watching the orders early on. No indication of .24. Perhaps it was overnight trade, assuming CAPC trades after hours. Regardless, biggish trades and it is really messing with our multi day upside, tenuous tho it may be. Watching now for less uncertain entry.
Board is awfully quiet. That .24 is seriously odd.
Maybe. Need to see something from CAPC. Any number of reasons possible...
Hmm. Well, hmm. So, not 14 employees, maybe bus. communications, maybe software, maybe something else entirely. Maybe an old asset being resurrected. Gosh.
Maybe the R&D folks. Are they owned by Kompass? Curious about the foreign ownership.
Thanks for the link. Lots of hard work and progress. Receivables are substantial. Retired debt and some shares. A decent line of credit.
I was just looking for some financials for want of detail in this summary announcement. Can't do much more than guess without financial statement. What do we know: they did pay off debt, admin costs were same, spent a little more on prod development, and introduced/shipped 3 new products in quarter. So, one supposes they are in pretty good shape with cash on hand. Waiting for more info..
Bye Marcel
Thanks
At what point will/would you add to your position?
Well, the earnings rpt is view of recent past, and conf call should include forward perspective. I figure the q1 will be positive, but as we were told maybe not huge.
I do not think the selling is whimsical.
It looks to be managed. The board talks about the company's financials and management, both of which are good. We would like to see expansion. What about externalities? One wonders how the current climate impacts CAPC.
Thanks. It is just a guess (sigh), but the higher volume indicates there is interest, and the selling is deliberate. At the last conf call, there were a couple of analysts, and they may be pushing to the downside. That would be typical. Of course, the company also may be buying back shares. Regardless, there is profit to be made as the pps recoups. And it will. Still, we have q1 that may be slower and a prediction of higher results for the year. I will wait for earnings to add, but having said that the share price behavior is offputting.
Are we forming a technical bottom here?
Yup. No slouches these folks. Retiring the bought back shares is very very good practice. Solid.
Well, hmm. We might hear that the buyback is a done deed.
What is the likely size of the stock buyback in monetary or authorized number?
I can't recall the events precisely without researching it. I expect positive earnings. The thing I do recall is being taken to weep level pps until somebody bought sufficient shares, and then volume and pps ran up. I also recall that q1 2017? expectations were for more of the same, but management terminated a product without warning, and CAPC had to regain growth again. And did. Hopefully management learned from that.
Nonetheless, cyclicality/seasonality is a given until the product offerings deepen and marketing takes the company to greater stability and profitability.
I do think .74 is reasonable near term.
Agree, but think a dividend of 2 cents would not just stabilize the price , but we'd see the upper end warrant the pps in a range up to .75
Ok. I forget. Is there a stock buyback in the works? Who is buying? I am wwiting, but want to add. Not a rah rah person, btw, just thinking I have seen this trading pattern several times in the past.
We are at weep levels. What is support?
Add when the chart looks better.
Umm. That's one way to look at the current pps. Another is to recognize a new company that is building its product and consumer bases. Another might be awareness of and to wait for an easing of the externalities that are outside corporate control or influence. Another is to ask whether this presents an opportunity to add shares.
They will CONTINUE to be profitable in 2018. Probably should not think short term. it is tempting, but there were at least 2 analysts on the conference call. So, I figure there is institutional interest and awareness.
I just read the conf call transcript. It was time well spent. Management has a clear view of 2018 priorities, and they do expect continued profitability. They will increase product exposure thru online marketing. That is ok, too, but I hope they use Pinterest, maybe Ebay,in addition to Amazon at least for the US. I don't know the significant European and Asian internet markets. More later.
Barron's reported CAPC was mentioned in the press today.
I tend to agree with your assessment. I was unable to find a link tp the cc, but will later. A couple of points. BOTH Hoover and Duracell have significant name recognition in international markets, to the point where "to Hoover" is often used instead of generic "to vacuum". CAPC can capitalize on that with skilled marketing.
I can't be there for cc. Will listen later. Imho, r/s are kiss of death. Not warranted at this time.
Growth of sales and products and careful fiscal controls are the best route to a higher listing. CAPC needs more frequent communications right now to stimulate a higher pps. Management knows this.
After the close.
Will they report before or after the close? The filing didn't specify.
Actually, I am just waiting for earnings and want CAPC's q4 to be excellent. That will mean the annual #s will be outstanding! Next week.
Umm, no. I consider Costco and the like to be customers. I have in mind middlemen who find the customers. Of course, I am presuming CAPC has regional reps, as the Chinese company appears to be. Is this an issue for the conference call?
This may beg the issue, but might some inquiries be directed to distributors?
Isn't that what the Chinese firm is attempting in the Far East?
There was a German person in the room month or so back who said he planned to have 50K minimum before earnings.
Waiting.
Thanks.
CAGR. meaning? I agree, long term growth mode. 2 weeks. Can live with that. Huge support in .40s. Far out pacing sell side.
Might consider adding after earnings.
