CalAmp Has A Considerable Runway
April 19th, 2018 · No Comments
- After moving sideways for the 5 months since we first wrote about the company, we think things are looking up again.
- The company will benefit from a growing market, which will get a new impulse from 5G.
- Added (SaaS) services and increasing revenue will improve margins.
- There are a couple of temporary factors muddying the picture, but these should mostly disappear pretty soon.

Himax In Transition, Is There Light At The End Of The Tunnel?
April 18th, 2018 · No Comments
- Himax looks to be set to move to the non-display driver business in a more serious way with a large CapEx program and an acquisition.
- It is gearing up investments for the 3D sensing business and IoT vision. Revenues are not immediately expected, but from the second half onwards, things could become interesting.
- They’ll need a rebound of some sort because dividends and significantly increased CapEx is emptying the coffers.

Another Own Goal?
April 18th, 2018 · No Comments
- The trade tensions between the US and China are heating up.
- Much of the US focus is on Chinese efforts to expand in high-tech industries in general and optical networking industries in particular.
- Hence, the US is putting sand in the wheels of the expansion of important Chinese companies like ZTE and Huawei.
- But these policies risk accelerating Chinese efforts to become more independent of US suppliers and technology, which are already underway.
- Given the country’s resources and available engineers, it is difficult for the US to thwart Chinese ambitions in high-tech in general.

Technology Shares Out Of Fashion?
April 18th, 2018 · No Comments
- Bank of America argues that investors should lighten up on technology stocks.
- We think this is way too general an approach, investors are much better off on a case-by-case analysis.
- Of the valuation issues and risks they mention, only the one about a possible fallout of the recent trade tensions seems a valid concern.

- Voice-controlled devices and voice biometrics look to be significant new growth opportunities.

Chinese Investor Strike?
April 17th, 2018 · No Comments
- Macro lessons for investors part II.
- Some argue that the US trade deficit is simply the result of big US public sector deficits and debts (which need to be refinanced), needing foreign investors.
- As a result, they argue, the Chinese could strike back by stop buying US Treasuries, or even dumping their $1T+ Treasury holdings.
- While this analysis gets it partially right, we show you what’s wrong with it.

Macro Lessons For Investors

- In dramatic circumstances like the immediate wake of the financial crisis, choosing the right economic model can make a dramatic difference to investor returns.

Talend Has A Strong Competitive Position
April 16th, 2018 · No Comments
- Parts of the company are growing really fast and it seems to be the go-to solution for big companies, suggesting a substantial competitive advantage.
- However, there are still substantial losses which aren’t going away anytime soon.
- It all depends what you want to pay for this; we think the present price is really quite fair already, so we don’t see much immediate upside.
