Hang in there Sean.....
Stocks were overdue for pullback and ASTM typically follows the market, but YES the news has been good lately for ASTM. Look for a BIT OF improvement in earnings this month but really this is a HOLD and put away kind of a stock for a couple years. There are enough good reasons to come in now if you haven't been holding a long time (in which case your out major $$) It's worth some "risk" dollars as part of diversified portfolio.
My target: $6-$7 in two years or so especially if they can manage the acquisition well which i don't see why they couldn't. Due your homework on this mgmt. though as they have left many in the past in the red and haven't delivered much but given recent developments i believe it's a HOLD and a BUY at these levels (up to $4.25). ....VERY LOW FLOAT so substantial moves in either direction can be quick...
Best of trades...
