Financial ratios :

  • PER = 28.00

So we have a growth rate > PER (like Peter Lynch likes) with a decent debt to equity ratio.

Pros and cons

Management

The CEO of the company is Jack B. Blount. The Plaxton family controls about 30% of the shares.

I didn’t find any recent insider activity except for the option exercise.

I bought this position one month ago at $4.00 per share. It’s still cheap at $5 according to me.
