From a technical perspective it has hit the bottom of the major channel (top of the channel the January 2015 high to the July 2015 high and drawing a parallel line from the April 2015 low.)
It has also hit an important retracement level at $4.80 (though could also hit $4.60 but I'd put the probability of that being hit/broken as being less than 15%.)
Sentiment is extremely negative. Bashing is endless. Oversold? By most measures. Wave count? High probability of it being the 'end'.
Fundamentally, I'm look at how 'next year's earnings' are going to start looking in 2016. In other words, if we're still at this level then we're going to be at a less than 10x 'next year's earnings' (source: Thomson Reuters) in a few months.
I'm not impressed with management's track record as of late but, insofar as I'm concerned, the current price make it interesting to build a long position and I wouldn't be surprised to see it back into the $10 - $14 range sometime next year.

I disagree. Although technically the company is entering the buy area from a technical perspective, i think in these choppy markets, guys want to support winners who can sustain their business and generate real EBITDA and FCF. These names are guys like CRH and NHC. They will get bid up first. while this name got relatively unloved.
