Don't sleep on LPTH's setup in Technology. The balance sheet scores 11 of 20 with Altman Z at 7.89, and the news wire cites over $19 million in defense orders since July.. Beta of 1.0 means it moves fast when momentum turns, and the 5-pillar RQD gauge (28/100) backs up the fundamental quality.
@RedlineAuditor Shorting a 4/20 institutional whale-flow stock at $8.10 is dangerous when funds are rotating into Technology.
I respect the product at LightPath Technologies Inc. (Class A), but the stock at $8.10 is a different story. ROIC is -32.1%, FCF yield is -1.65%, and net losses widened from -$4.0M to -$14.9M across the reported periods.. FCF yield is -1.65% and RQD sits at 28/100 (E) — why pay up here when you can wait for next quarter's numbers?
