Stockchase Opinions

Peter Hodson Flyht Aerospace Solutions FLY-X COMMENT Aug 03, 2016

This has flight data recorders that go into airplanes, and it is a hard, hard sale to get airlines to put in a $100,000 product, even though it is going to save them money and is a good product. Probably still a little too early. The growth is nice to see, but the market cap is a little too small to get a lot of attention.

COMMENT
Black box technology for airplanes. It is starting to turn heads again. He is going to look at it again.
WATCH
He just met management. An impressive story. It's taken them a long time to get traction. They do live "black box" technology for planes, so there's a lot of data to monetize. He's still studying it to see how big it can get.
DON'T BUY
Frustrating. Fails to take flight. They haven't achieved massive adoption of their technology. The Malaysian Airlines disappearance didn't lead to that. They've had to come back to the market several times for financing which hurts the stock.
BUY
Q3 results had revenues up solidly. Could be a very profitable winter. Really likes the stock. Safety communications technology for planes. Save airlines money with diagnostics. Feels it's about to take off.
COMMENT

He has followed them for some time now. They have the ability to connect to a satellite network for locating aircraft. They also have modules to aid in fuel efficiencies. They have worked with Boeing and others that has been tested for over 1 million flight hours. WestJet is to become a customer.

BUY

A frustrating stock. Here it's a buy. Super-promising business. Provide streaming of data to the ground, which saves customers money. Major developments in last 6 months that are pushing the company forward. Westjet became their first tier-one customer, so this is the crack in the door.

BUY
They have a satelite based location system for airlines. The software can also monitor mechanical efficiencies. Although there are not a lot of planes flying today, when they return this will be a valuable tool. They have over 3 million flying hours in testing. Within 6 months he expects contracts to be awarded due to increased regulations. He does not own it yet.
WATCH
It is interesting technology. They have telemetry applications for airlines and the thought is that the airlines or manufacturers would mass-adopt this technology. He has not seen the ramp up in revenue and earnings in the time-frame he expected. They are in a constant need for financing.
HOLD
Frustrating stock as technology and team is strong. Returns not materializing yet. Recent acquisition will help company grow. Government mandates for company technology not being enforced. Expecting another share issuance to dilute shares.
