Recommendation
As it was the case for a few of the companies showcased this quarter, EXFO issued Q3 2011 guidance below analysts' estimates on a conference call held on March 31st 2011. This sent the stock spiraling down almost 30%. This provides investors with a fair entry point for the coming quarter
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 9$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
As the company does not have any options outstanding, a way for the risk-taking investor to generate excess returns, he would have to leverage his position on margin. Keep in mind however that leverage is very risky.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 11$, or keep it until 13$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis. It is highly recommended to keep the position on check if it goes sour.
For the risk-taking trader:
As for the cautious investor, sell when the stock reaches 11$.
