NEO:KNR - Post Discussion

Buyout?

There is some discussion about eventual buyout and "midcap" on the other board and folk equating it to SP. That is not how the real world works. The company discussion about the buyout is giving some indication how big of a core business you need to have to be of interest to bigger companies. I believe even from the past discussion, under $50 million revenues, and you are not on the radar. Closer to $100 million or a client base of around a 1,000 buildings. If interested they will make a pitch based ln their estimation of worth and not necessarily the SP. If the SP is inflated for whatever reason, why would they pay an even greater premium if their economic modeling does not justify it? And KNR is looking at small acquisitions at 0.5-0.6 times revenue for comparison. Not saying that is the metric for KNR value, but just saying that for the core business itself, don't dream of SPs in high double digits let alone three digits. Ain't happening on $50-$100M revenues. BC is the wildcard, but if or when this monitoring becomes the norm, we can expect tons of competition so this year is going to be the key for positioning and R&D will be critical to lowering costs significantly. Think smoke alarms (perhaps whatever industrial and commercial versions are) eventually if they become mandated. Can't imagine government mandating something that is not reasonably affordable by the mandated sectors unless there are significant incentives like large tax rebates and such.

Buyout could be an option in longer term but I think first KNR would need to prove that its products including BC are generating continous and upward sales as time progresses. Meanwhile, i highly think that price appreciation over the last couple of days could be attributed to the release of financials and also perhaps the debenture holder selling is drying out. Because this was major reason for ...more

The only reason for the price drop over the last two months is that it was becoming apparent that the manufacturing capacity was a red herring and had nothing to do with the actual demand. KNR initially overestimated the expected demand and did not provide information for investors to readjust their expectations. Financials have nothing to do withv the price appreciation. KNR stock took a beating ...more

Pointer you are a big dsgrace for this board. You think that you are contributing to this board but spreading hate and bully instead. I have already reported you to the SH management.  My previous posting didn't have any pumping comment. If you have something good to say, then say it but don't make the environment in this board polluting. You are a simple member here and not an owner ...more

OT: SH first and foremost is a business. Two folk can go back and forth picking on each other a 100 times and have a dozen or two readers and that's the number of clicks that help SH as a business. There are some abuse categories but the standards are pretty low. Sometimes you luck into meeting some decent knowledgeable folk and you take it to another platform.

Pointer and his alias's have destoryed this message board as he planned to do.  Goal accomplished. The only people posting ALL DAY are the same four (not four people) back and forth.  ALL DAY EVERYDAY.  Clogging it up and keeping people away. It is a shame but thats what happens when SH no longer adequately polices its message board. The only time there is quiet is when ...more

Wilander, your only comment on the CC was "good CC". Not one piece of information on what was said but just going at pointer and his/your imaginary aliases. But maybe it is better that way so that folk are not exposed to misinformation. Folk can go to ceo.ca of course, but I personally would not use the information there to drive my investment decisions either. One of the benefits or ...more

Pointer, you yourself with several alias is a BIG Liar and everyone knows about it. When you short KNR, you start talking negatively about it. Then once you covered it and goes long, then start talking positively about it and your past posting record shows it clearly.  I have frequently mentioned .before and it is no secret that I am both long term and momentum player eith many years of ...more
