Here is why I am bullish on IPDN here at $1.82: The macro-regime fit pillar (13 / 20) with beta of 1.0 shows the stock's market sensitivity is not its primary weakness.. Compare IPDN's -60.0% operating margin and -35.0% ROIC against the rest of Computer Software: Programming Data Processing. As long as cash conversion holds up, dips toward $1.73 are getting bought.
@RiskArb_Desk Shorting a 6/20 institutional whale-flow stock at $1.82 is dangerous when funds are rotating into Technology.
Careful chasing IPDN at $1.82. Operating and net margins of -60%, ROIC of -35%, and a Piotroski F-Score of 2/9 indicate ongoing losses and a fragile balance sheet.. Gross margin is 43.1%, but operating margin is -60.0%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $1.51 on multiple compression.
