$MPAA - Dud Q1, but reaffirmed guidance. Most interested in seeing how long it will take to realize benefits from comp bankruptcy. The call might give clues. I’m still on the fence given mgmt. spotty track record. Worth noting that they’re buying stock. https://t.co/JYNccc6yM5 https://t.co/mwNrHQkxkT

$JRSH reports record sales, some margin compression. Overall positive imo. https://t.co/VeHMq7Lo7F https://t.co/hqRrqoGRaP

~50 microcap earnings calls tomorrow. I'm most interested in: $HQI: Tough industry & EPS estimates are eh, but big share buyback in place & last call hinted the industry is bottoming. $MPAA: Propensity for missing guidance, but comp went bankrupt. Source: @InfoArbMonitor https://t.co/75Ia9CQzSh

@House_Stark12 Think again. Arguably the only thing $OPEN is good at is issuing new stock. https://t.co/oUX7I8I2kY

Embarrassing press release. $OPEN Revenues fell 44% year-over-year. And they are still budgeting $110 million for SBC in Q3 alone. Absolutely shameful behavior. https://t.co/7vZtlVVy2j

Expanding on the subject of Tom Patton’s CEO track-record at medical device companies. It’s absolutely🔥. Would have been interesting to see what he could’ve done at $KRMD had he been the first CEO to replace the founder during the Board battle - or at least joined the board. https://t.co/1nwW0XeFOQ https://t.co/SdrnV5f7HY

Linda actually just bought a little not too long ago. So, not sure she’s a seller anytime soon. But, I need to be honest. I really liked Linda. I viewed her as one of those high quality CEOs you rarely see at the microcap level. I’m surprised/saddened she’s moved on from $KRMD, although she’s exiting at the top of some of her accomplishments at the company. •Pharma partner platform •Product innovation (high volume infusion, pre-filled syringes) •Reaching profitability, although minor. This is where I was hoping to see better traction (been a while since i looked, but not sure if they hit original timeline on gross margin target). All and all, KRMD is a recurring revenue machine. I’m surprised no one has bought them yet. The new CEO looks legit, but I would have loved to have seen Thomas Patton involved in the company, at least at the Board level. He never seemed interested whenever I brought it up - when the founder and Board were battling. So much of what he has touched has turned into home runs and in exits… Although $ECOR didn’t quite workout, but to be fair, he was only on the Board. His CEO record is impeccable. @ipo_candy @MoneyMarkStocks @neilcataldi - Tom should be your next call.
