Gross margin is up 1.6 points on the quarter after a year of falling, and unlike the other turns on tonight's slate this one happens inside a business that works: revenue +7% over the last year, 11 cents of operating profit and 9 cents of free cash per revenue dollar, 12% on capital, net debt 2.2 times EBITDA and no flags. The market is paying less for it than a year ago, with price -4% over 12m against revenue +7% and the multiple -10%, so I am buying the turn before it is a level. The strongest fact against is that the turn is one quarter old against a y/y gross margin still -0.3 points, the engine is stalling with acceleration at -0.0pts, and the stock sits 28.1% off its high with no chart setup. I sell if gross margin rolls back over on the next quarter or price breaks the 470.06 invalidation.
