17.3% of the float is short against the only candidate tonight that is unambiguously alive: revenue +26% y/y and accelerating 7.5 points, 9 cents of operating profit per revenue dollar, net debt just 0.1 times EBITDA, and new revenue coming in at a 35% gross margin against a 17% book, so the mix is improving as the shorts wait. The strongest fact against is that the squeeze fuel may already be spent: the stock is +35% over 12 months with the multiple up 7% to 8.0 times EBITDA, the 74th percentile of its own 4 year range against a median of 5.2, so I am paying a full price for a crowded short rather than a cheap one. I sell if the incremental gross margin falls back toward the 17% book or growth decelerates after this quarter's +8 points, because then the short case stops being wrong and the multiple has no support.
