Pietro, over the last few months I have seen a lot of speculation regarding Aero's fins. Some have wildly guessed that it must be 100 million or more. That is patently ridiculous.
Let's take it logically. The idea came between engineers in 1999. Then planning, test mufflers built by hand and tested. The patents came and finally production started. This is a slow process, and it took until 2003 to get into production and 2005 to get sales up to $1 million. That alone is really a great start but this is still a very young but fast growing company. We think that sales may have grown to $7 million last year, we will get figures tomorrow. What about this year? Can they have grown from $7 million to the idiotic number of $100 million? NOT A CHANCE. A really great growth number would put them up to around $10 million. That would be a growth of over 40%, a really magnificent increase. How many companies can grow at over 40% in a year? Few.
We'll get the true numbers tomorrow, expect them after hours as they came last Thursday. If production now puts Aero at the $10 million level or higher then they have a lot to brag about and we know we are in the winner's circle.
Forget silly projections higher than $10 million. Be delighted that they have the world's greatest muffler.
