Putting this out there: I’m betting that $OCC will go green today. If it doesn’t, a top shelf shot is on me for everybody who comes to the next @GeoInvesting / @MSmicrocaps in-person Conference. Hopefully low attendance or lots of “thanks, I’m on a drinking hiatus.” 🤣
$HAWK now trading around $17.15, or -34% below its $26 IPO price. Initial lock-up expired last week, but I think it is unlikely many shares will come to market at these prices. $HAWK is also being added to the $IWM. $HAWK continues to have strong defense tech tailwinds, and they now have $500 mm+ of cash on hand. Valuation is now much more attractive and below the $18.86 price of their pre-IPO Series E financing.
OH nooo. $OCC .. flat backlog. It will never keep growing. Backlog cadence: •Oct. 2025: $7.3M •Jan. 2026: $10.4M •Apr. 2026: $13.3M •Jul. 2026: $13.5M Half glass full: they maintained record backlog levels. Can’t believe I’m actually defending OCC, now.🤣
