This is the only candidate tonight where the margin turn is large enough to matter and sits on a real business: gross margin up 8.2 points on the quarter against -5.4 points year on year, with revenue growing 14%, a 20% gross margin, 10 cents of operating profit and 8 cents of free cash per revenue dollar, and 26% earned on capital. The market is paying less for more, with price -26% over 12 months against revenue +14% and the multiple down 34%, so I am buying the turn before it is a level anyone quotes. The strongest fact against it is the balance sheet: net debt of 3.0 times EBITDA, operating profit covering interest only 1.4 times, and a current ratio of 0.63 means more falls due within a year than there are current assets to meet it, so this turn only has to stall once to become a financing problem. I sell if the quarterly gross margin turn reverses or if interest coverage slips below the 1.4 times it stands at now.
