His model price is $16.70 which is a 54% differential. It will probably go to about $10.40 on this last pull back which will be a good price.
DON'T BUY
Not a significant grower. Underperforming. Very hard to find a Canadian technology stock that actually looks very good.

$0.75/0.80 is your base rate of earnings. If the street pays 15 X, that gets you to $12. They have about $2.25 in cash. In the event of a takeover, it's probably around $14/15.

Its peak of $12.40 was in anticipation of a takeover offer. The company is in play.

Very interesting at these levels. Trading around 11 X earnings. Management has done a very good job. The markets they are involved in are growing. A free cash flow yield of about 10%.
