Doug Bergeron of Verifone fame going activist on $ETD. As we pointed out here in the past, there's a ton of value in this business and there's no doubt that the brand has enormous potential. "Ethan Allen" still has tremendous brand equity.

Here they come - ~50 microcap earnings calls today. I’m most interested in learning about: $FTEK - Growing data center pipeline that they can’t close. $OESX - Was huge Qtr from one time project awards? Data center initiatives timeline vs hype. $KRMD - New product adoption. https://t.co/ywCPDNODCl

Be very careful relying heavily on stock screeners for your research, especially right now. Lots of Cos. are getting tariff refunds, which is inflating operating income and margins. It’s why I love reading press releases to get a broader picture. @InfoArbMonitor $WEYS👇 https://t.co/UQrxoM5tSm
