Q: I read the PHM guidance thoroughly and, based on over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, I came away with the feeling they are executing as they should considering the challenges they have acknowledged. When a business experiences a decline in sales, it is not always negative. Trading dollars is negative but trimming unprofitable products saves cost of sales including staff, product cost, etc. and those funds can be used to grow the more profitable side of the business. Unlike many failing business models, PHM has cash and limited debt. Usually a failing business cannot resurrect itself due to debt burden realized from declining revenues. PHM went from $40M to $32M in what will most likely be their worst quarter. Recalibrating with a more defined product line and costs under control are exactly what any business consultant would tell them to do. Now they can profit from their sales which they say will rise throughout 2016 and be in a position to add incremental acquisitions from their cash flow. Finally, the management team has the experience to see the shortfalls of the company and deal with them head on. I support their plan and remember they are heavily invested at $1.47, The senior management owns over ten percent of the company.
This stock has been the victim of rumour, the publicly suggested sale of the company and negative comments for months. They are still standing and today they turned a corner. If they can execute as they have to date, I can see this company growing significantly over the next two years. Today, someone has bought well over eight million shares from fed-up sellers. I am one of them. Do you see any eventual positive success from this viewpoint?
Thanks.
