im not sure what the mix up was. i was very clear:

We have received inquires from GeoReaders regarding yesterday’s decision to remove SKBI from the GeoSpecial list. Due to market sentiment, the GeoTeam is taking a more stringent look at stocks on the whole.

We still believe SKBI offers great long-term value, however the most important factor fueling our decision lies with short-term EPS growth forecasts


While sales will be up in each of these quarters going forward, dilution from its recent capital raise and a delay in its expansion plans are forecast to lead to unimpressive EPS growth for the next three quarters. Now, the company has been handily exceeding analyst estimates, but ultimately the GeoTeam requires EPS growth to justify inclusion in our GeoSpecial/Bargain List. Part of our decision is also based on the fact that the stock had increased over 100% from our initial mention.

It’s likely at some point that if the stock continues its retreat and/or begins showing progress on the EPS growth front, we will recode the stock as a GeoSpecial or GeoBargain. Also, value investors may still find SKBI’s low absolute P/E attractive. Rodman & Renshaw still has a price target of $16.00.
