Company Offers High Rates of Instrument Product Innovation
Raleigh, NC. The Technology Stock Advisor, a weekly online newsletter for technology stock investors, published by Thomas Vass, a portfolio manager based in Raleigh, N. C., initiated coverage on Astro-Med, Inc. today.
The Technology Stock Advisor stock selections are based upon a 2007 stock selection and portfolio management patent issued to Thomas Vass, the investment advisor to the newsletter. The method of the patent explains what stocks to buy, the target buy price, the target sell price and the best asset allocation for an investor’s risk profile.
Astro-Med, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes various specialty printers, and data acquisition and analysis systems. It operates in three segments: Test & Measurement (T&M), QuickLabel Systems (QuickLabel), and Grass Technologies (Grass). The T&M segment provides a suite of telemetry recorder products for the aerospace and defense industries, as well as portable data acquisition recorders that offer diagnostic and test functions to a range of manufacturers, including automotive, energy, paper, and steel fabrication. It also offers a suite of ruggedized printer products for military and commercial applications for use in avionics industry to print weather maps, communications, and other critical flight information.
ALOT was added to the TSA C-rated stock portfolio, meaning that the price should be more volatile than stocks in either the A or B rated portfolios. The company has a current dividend yield of 3.5% and currently has no long term debt.
“When we begin our search for stocks, we define 9 high tech value chains, where we believe most of America’s innovation occurs in sustaining product innovations and radical disruptive technology commercialization,” said Vass.
“We suspect that companies within any given value chain category would be from industrial sectors whose trading relationships and linkages with one another are stronger than their linkages with sectors outside the group, and we believe that these types of relationships explain much about the future stock price of a company,” Vass added.
The TSA stock selection methodology is based upon the identification of companies undergoing technological product innovation, and to then to establish the portfolio investment criteria of when to buy the stocks at their low periods of innovation and when to sell them at their higher period of financial success.
“We suspect that it takes the stock of a company about 3 years to reflect the success of its technology innovation,” said Vass.
