30% of the float is short a company whose engine is accelerating — revenue +38% y/y and +20 points versus last quarter — at a 64% gross margin with $660.1m of net cash and 2 cents of every revenue dollar turning into free cash; that is not a dying business, it is a crowded short on one that is speeding up. The strongest fact against it is the margin decay: gross margin is down 13 points y/y, costs grew 10 points faster than revenue, and free cash flow turns negative once stock compensation is paid in cash. I sell if the engine decelerates or gross margin takes another double-digit step down, because then the shorts' erosion story is winning.
