RE:RE:RE:growth reiteratedClarence -
I do not need to explain my reasons for hanging out here to you or anyone else. If you can dispute my comments with something more concrete than what you saw hanging around a tradeshow booth, or speculation that all customers that buy low-margin product will suddenly be happy to buy high priced stuff in the future, I would be happy to see your data.
I do not claim to be an expert, those are your words, but thank you for that.
Avigilon does not just need SALES, they need PROFIT. They need to dig themselves out of a hole because they are not going to be able to raise a bunch more money to fund a mismanaged operation.
Avigilons Vancouver plant has been operating for quite some time, they have probably gotten as efficient as they are going to get without an order of magnitude increase in production, which of course will not happen in the next 10 years, especially with the Texas plant. If anything Avigilon has made themselves LESS efficient for the foreseeable future.
What growth rate exactly are you talking about for Avigilon? Growth in excessive employees? Growth in buying real estate that is not justified? Growth in volume without corresponding growth in profit?
If you want a list of companies with strong growth you can find many with a simple Google search. One example that is close to the security industry is Ambarella. They have grown faster, and healthier, than Avigilon (maybe partly because they supply parts to Avigilon and every other camera company, but don't have to beg for sales).
