ExOne schedules 3Q15 report ?7

17:11 29-Oct-15


ExOne has scheduled its third quarter report for after the market close on Monday, November 9th.  The associated conference call is scheduled to take place at 8:30 the next morning.  On average, analysts expect the company to lose nine and a half cents per share on revenue of $16.9M.  Revenue for the current quarter is expected to be guided to $22.9M, which would push the company to profitability.  Given the management's record, amongst other things, I doubt that these expectations are very firm.

Regardless, XONE has come a long way since I called the bottom, and despite the insider buys that kicked that off, it is now very difficult to say whether the almost 90% gain will be justified by the business.  The rebate rate has stayed very high, but steady, at around the 57% I documented back then, and the nominal shorted float had declined slightly, but not nearly enough to nullify the potential for a squeeze.  Consequently, all I can say is that we could easily be in for a wild ride in either (or even both) direction(s).
