About Sono-Tek
Sono-Tek makes machines that coat products with microscopically thin layers using ultrasonic vibrations, like a spray nozzle that never clogs and wastes far less material. Its customers use the machines to coat heart stents, balloon catheters, electronics and fuel cells. It is a small, profitable company with a market value around 112 million dollars.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Medical Boom
Medical sales jumped 289 percent in the first half of the year to 7.05 million dollars, led by machines that coat heart stents and drug-eluting balloons. Gross margin widened to 55 percent and operating income rose 41 percent to 1.28 million dollars.
- Cash Rich, No Debt
The company holds 17.7 million dollars in cash and investments with no debt at all. Backlog is 9.51 million dollars, and three new orders worth about 7.19 million dollars arrived after the quarter ended, giving next year a head start.
- Stalled Sales
Sales have hovered around 5 million dollars a quarter for two years. Last quarter sales grew just 1 percent, operating income slipped from 421 thousand to 382 thousand dollars, and management expects the full year to be flat to only slightly higher.
- Tiny And Lumpy
With a market value near 112 million dollars, a few big orders can swing results and the stock can move sharply. Clean energy sales fell from 3.25 million dollars to 319 thousand in one quarter, and management says the unusually high margins will not repeat every quarter.
