Valuation
No earnings means no PE to lean on, so we go straight to price to book. At 1.7x book, the value conscious investors should like this stock as well. Price to sales at 1.2x is very low, so there is a lot of room to run here.
Margins are negative for this year and next, but they should make 5K - 8K basis point moves in the coming quarters.
