The issue with this is that it is too dependent on a single product. When people started realizing how much of their earnings came from one product, it made him nervous. As it overshot up into that $11-$12 range, it got really extended. It has now checked back and he would rate it is a Buy again. He is pretty comfortable that over the next 2-3 years it will grow its top line and its bottom line at 30% per annum for the next 3 years. They now have a whole bunch of other new products that they have already launched and are starting to ramp up.
Very, very good management team. Some really good products. Has a lot of cash. Very high ROE. He owns it, but doesn’t have a massive position in it because it is quite a small company. A good, long-term growth story. Symptomatic of the issues of a lot of the great growth companies, i.e., they were trading in the single digit PE ratios but are now trading in the high teens or mid-20s. Not cheap, but a great one.
Would rate this as a Buy, but not a strong Buy. He is comfortable that they can grow their profits over the next 3 years by 25%-30% per year. However, this company is narrowly focused on 1 or 2 products, and they need to diversify beyond that. He thinks they will get there. A good name to own at the $7.50-$8 level.
