TSE:ET
EPS of 20c missed estimates of 22.5c. Sales of $125.8M beat estimates of $120.5M. Sales and earnings rose nicely. Cash is now $27M. It was a decent quarter, but there has been no long-term growth here. Even with a bounce this year, EPS will be slightly lower than it was in 2016. The stock is cheap because of this, but mostly only trades for its dividend. Investors need to see some consistent growth. The quarter was a good start but does not yet make a trend.
