ssk, ESCC, I have been a buyer as well.
But...just playing devil's advocate looking at negatives.....as I recall (and I looked at ESCC a while back), margins were not that great last quarter.
And, in the last q, ESCC stated: "Sales prospects support the outlook for an adequate volume of new orders through the remainder of 2017 to maintain sales at an annual level comparable to 2016." Since sales for the fist six months of '17 were $14.8 vs $13.2 in '16, ESCC is saying that their second half sales in '17 could be $1.6 million lower than their sales in '16.
Anyway, I feel they should be able to beat that minimal sales number, but I dont see earnings quite so high in q3 and q4 as you do, due to questions on margin and sales strength.
best
