Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Gross margin is key to success and I’m not sure why people aren’t thrilled with the earnings given the massive improvement here.

Lqmt has struggled to mass produce parts at a cost efficient price point for customers. This has been the main issue holding them back from success. They just showed better than expected improvement in gross margin this quarter. Their gross profit was almost the same as it was a year ago with only half of the revenue. This is HUGE for them. This gives them flexibility to price their product more competitively while still remaining profitable which ultimately will result in more contracts. How many times do you think a company wanted to use Lqmt but couldn’t because of the cost / scale issues? They have addressed both cost and scale over the last year. It’s just a matter of time now for the contracts to materialize.
