Really Surprising

Fundamentals have turned a corner and the sp is this low? Why is there no interest here? Can't figure it out. The pr earlier this week is bullish. A record year. Handsome divy. Someone enlighten me...

It ran up quickly. Some are taking profits. Some are likely shorting it. Keep your eye on the prize. When the reversal comes.. and it will, it will be quick. Have seen this capitualte before after a prolonged retrace. Adding consistently and accumulating at these levels. Just some of my thoughts.

Many investors hate low margin businesses because if revenues slip the margin turns negative. What investors are missing with PTG is it a cost plus business. They don’t build it until you commit so margins are relatively stable through ups and downs in business cycles. That’s why it is confident in paying a dividend.

a good chunk of this revenue would be hardware, implementation of that hardware the other, i do not see a breakdown, but would explain how 20 m in extra revenue turn into 0.00 more profit, so basically for now a high tech plumber.....ho hum, the excitement of the solution they are hinting at being developed, should spur the sp once revealed
Comment by kulewater on Jan 06, 2018 3:41pm
Hardware implementation does not have zero profit margin. It has razor thin margins but it allows them to bundle services and maintains the relationships with these F500 companies. Sometimes its just about front loaded capex and then getting the vendor rebate on the other side which shows up on the other side. Its not always an instant trickle down to the bottom line. Cheers!
