3. Why Are Investors So Negative?
1. In April, CalAmp reported quarterly results that
came in well below analyst expectations.
2. Currently, shares trade hands at an expensive
34 times free-cash-flow.
3. Many wonder if CalAmp’s position in the
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) industry will really
help it become the king of “The Internet of
Things.”
4. Here’s What to Watch
Wall Street Expectations
• Currently, 8% of CalAmp
shares are sold short.
• Analysts are expecting
the company to report
revenues of $58 million.
• Earnings per share are
expected to come in at
$0.18.
What to Really Watch
• Fleet management is the
company’s bread-and-
butter right now, so expect
continued moderate growth
here.
• The company’s recent
growth has come from
insurance telematics,
where insurance
companies use CalAmp’s
products to monitor driver
behavior and offer lower
premiums. Look for
continued double-digit
growth here.
6. Why Are Investors So Negative?
1. The stock has been on a roll lately, up almost
500% since late 2012. Some believe it has
gone up too quickly.
1. Earnings are actually predicted to decline over
the next two years, as competition crimps
margins.
7. Here’s What to Watch
Wall Street Expectations
• Currently, 10% of Micron
shares are sold short.
• Analysts are predicting
revenue of $3.9 billion
when the company reports.
• Earnings per share are
expected to register at
$0.68.
What to Really Watch
• Pay close attention to the
average selling price
for Micron’s chips.
– Demand from mobile
devices have turned things
around for the company.
– If there’s tight supply, that
would be a good thing for
Micron.
– However, these chips can
be easily commoditized,
which results in lower
selling prices.
9. Why Are Investors So Negative?
1. Remember Borders? Barnes & Noble came
out with the Nook to avoid the same fate as
Borders, but even the Nook is unprofitable for
the company.
1. Revenue is still shrinking, and competition is
becoming stronger by the day, leading many
to believe that the company’s days are
numbered.
10. Here’s What to Watch
Wall Street Expectations
• Currently, 21% of Barnes
& Noble shares are sold
short.
• Revenue is expected to
come in at $1.2 billion.
• Analysts are predicting a
loss of $0.59 per share.
What to Really Watch
• Listen in to see if the
company will be trimming
its total square-footage,
leading to leaner
operations.
• Any stabilization in retail
and college-bookstore
sales would be a huge
positive.
