INTT = Huge turnaround play heading for double digits IMO.

INTT swung deep into profitability of +.11 EPS last Q.
I'm expecting up to triple that next Q. Here's why:

(1) Conference call noted bookings one Q = sales the next.
Bookings end Q1 = $14 million.
Sales of $14 million = +200% YOY jump and 46.9% sequential.

(2) CC notes indicate:
"to be conservative" -- 35% material cost + 5% sales comission = 40%
"theoretically 60% of incremental revenue drops to the bottom line"
Doesn't expect SG&A to go over $4 million per Q for rest of year.
Do the math -- realistic +.33 EPS pre-tax or more.

(3) +.33 EPS annualized = $1.32 per share which is just insane for a stock price this cheap.
INTT could run wild into the double digits per share on earnings and/or pre-announcement of earnings.
$10 to $15 coming IMO and well over $20+ very possible.

(4) Here's an article forecasting +.31 EPS: http://seekingalpha.com/article/204847-intest-earnings-conference-call-confirms-positive-view

(5) 72 year old chairman has a stock trading program for his retirement that refuses to sell any shares under $8.00 per share before even a portion of them can be sold then with requirements of higher share prices for more sales:

(6) The industry itself is going absolutely nuts. What's in store for INTT for Q3 and beyond? .50 EPS quarters or a $2 annualized pace? Pick whatever fair PE ratio you can dream of and you get a massive turn from here.
