PAST TOP PICK
Jul 20, 2021
(A Top Pick Dec 29/20, Down 29.6%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with SWI has gapped below our recommended stop at $12.50. We are recommending covering the position at this time. We will look for better opportunities elsewhere.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly SWI is a contrarian TOP PICK and is a bit more speculative in nature. Its Orion security platform was the victim of a much publicized cyber attack out of Russia, causing share value to understandably plummet over 40% from earlier in the month. However, only 25 customers out of 19,000 have actually had a breach and the company has since rolled out patches for the malware. Prior to all this, sales were growing by 180% and gross margins were over 70%. Their one-stop service offering makes it very inconvenient for subscribers to quickly move to competitors and its online subscriptions have been solid. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $12.50, looking to target analyst calls for $20 -- 33% upside potential. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $19.91)
