Net Positive Earnings = .05/share; Dividend Confirmed.

10Q out. Some mixed metrics as the top line grew but the flow through didnt translate to as much on the bottom line.

Some margins were thinned as the product/service mix in Q2 shifted and the transformation to higher margin business continues to take hold.

Company also bought back another 1M shares from insiders at a discounted rate and another chunk on the open market via the NCIB. 

Dividend confirmed - September 15th.

Q3 and Q4 are usually the best and management is being pragmatic with the spending. Looking forward to rest of the year as we will hopefully continue to bring in net proft now moving forward.

Just some of my thoughts.

I hear ya mate, but margins did not grow. Can't dance around that!! Still negative eps year to date which isn't sexy. Lots of work to be done to justify valuation up here.

Beating street on top line and earnings is always nice. Margins will fluctuate a bit as they are dependent on product mix, rebates, fx etc. Those should firm up as they better integrate and incentivize the service portion of newer PTG offerings. Addition of the cyber security competency should bode well for Q3/ Q4 and beyond. Dividend seems like a mainstay now and they continue to buyback ...more
