Trio-Tech International (NYSEMKT:TRT) has made a powerful move off a double bottom rising over 34% in less than a month. TRT has more gains in store based of its most recent developments and the company is poised to grow its bottom line.
Trio-Tech International (NYSEMKT:TRT) is well below its glory days when the stock was trading at over $23 per share versus its current price of only $3.22. The stock advanced almost 3% on Friday on light volume. The rally in TRT has been quiet with limited shares trading hands which means this stock is flying under the radar. There are only 3.51 million shares outstanding which means that this is a low float stock that could skyrocket at any moment leaving would be investors in the dust wishing they had pulled the trigger.
The company recently released its first half fiscal year performance. Earnings per share skyrocketed 1,400% from a loss of $0.01 share in 2015 first half to $0.13 for 2016 first half. Operating income doubled to $0.627 million in first half of 2016 from $0.314 million in first half of 2015. Cash grew over 17% from first half 2015 to first half 2016. TRT has over $4.37 million cash or $1.24 cash per share. Close to 40% of the stock price is equivalent to its cash value. TRT is potentially becoming a cash generating machine. The company is trading significantly lower than a price to sales ratio of 1 which could indicate the company is undervalued.
TRT has been focusing on controlling levers to help its financial performance. Most specifically, it is tightly controlling operating expenses to impact bottom line and focusing its strategy on boosting margins. Foreign exchange volatility had a significant impact on its earning as well and hopefully the company is just starting to turn around. The CEO stated “We are especially pleased by the rapid growth of our distribution business, which provides products manufactured by other companies that are complementary to Trio-Tech’s proprietary semiconductor testing products sold through our manufacturing segment. One of our primary objectives is to further expand our distribution revenue to help offset the volatility which is characteristic of our semiconductor testing business. We are pursuing this objective diligently, and we are optimistic that we can continue building on the progress we have achieved to date.”
