| BUY | 16.000 | Chyanne Fickes | Has been getting hammered for very little reason. This has always been an Iraqi story even though a lot of their contracts are with US police forces. Incredibly cheap. | 2007-03-12 | |
| HOLD | 17.490 | Robert McWhirter | His Quant model has dropped this out of the Buy range due to a loss of a major contract. The challenge is replacing the volumes in 2007. | 2006-09-15 | |
| BUY | 18.890 | Peter Hodson | Last year was pretty painful because the company didn't do anything while the sector was very strong. Has started to pick up the pace a little bit. A well run company that is at about a third of its valuation. | 2006-02-01 | |
| BUY | 14.860 | Robert McWhirter | Ranks poorly at 532 out of 700 stocks. He owns it because there was an article in the New York Times suggesting better protection for their soldiers. The Calgary pliant is only running at 50% capacity. They have a new contract with Ford for a police car door inserts. Still thinks it has some pretty good opportunities. | 2006-01-12 | |
| BUY | 16.400 | Robert McWhirter | Stock ranks 303 out of 700 in the database (neutral). The big reason for the slowdown in the stock is that one of their end customers had put a hold on some of their purchases but is now gradually coming back. Looking out to '06, earnings are expected to grow from $1.23 to $1.61 which is about a 30% earnings growth and is about 10 X PE. | 2005-10-27 | |
| HOLD | 18.000 | Michael Smedley | Very high quality in a very precious area such as ceramics, bullet proof vests, armour plating. Not sure where the punch is going to come from. | 2005-09-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 20.150 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick May 31/05. Down 9%.) Sold their position in order to get into oil/gas. Still likes and will probably be back to it. | 2005-08-30 | |
| WEAK BUY | 20.700 | Peter Hodson | They are winning contracts and is well managed. Has a very strategic position within the global industry. A painful stock to own. They report earnings, it will jam up and then nothing will happen, someone will sell 50,000 and it will go down $3 or $4. Probably won't get the multiple they deserve because of liquidity problems. | 2005-08-23 | |
| BUY | 19.400 | Robert McWhirter | Performance has been disappointing. A couple of its end customers have announced new contracts for ceramic pieces for bullet proof vests. Expected to report on Aug 23 and earnings are projected to be $0.26. Ranks just out of the top quarter of his database. Feels there continues to be very good growth opportunities for it. | 2005-07-21 | |
| TOP PICK | 22.000 | Brendan Kyne | Likes current correction in the stock price. Consolidating. Earned $0.67 in 2004 for October and $0.80+ year end. This year, they will make $1.40/1.50 and next year possibly $2. Will be using ceramic protection in police cars which is a whole new area for them. Debt free. With a ramping up of their manufacturing facilities, earnings will accelerate. | 2005-05-31 | |
| VAGUE | 20.000 | Chris Fernyc | Interesting company. It was highly promoted and highly pumped up by fairly loose money. Very profitable and doing good things, but you really have to watch valuations. Somewhat cyclical. | 2005-04-14 | |
| BUY | 23.750 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Just came out with a press release with 2 months results which equalled $1.75 per share which is really good. Got a lot of new contracts. Made a good acquisition in the US. | 2005-03-18 | |
| HOLD | 23.210 | Veronika Hirsch | A lot of people chased after it because it had done so well. Was probably overbought. Now in a correction phase. Getting new contracts. | 2005-01-28 | |
| VAGUE | 25.000 | Michael Smedley | Has capacity restraints, but can probably solve this. | 2005-01-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 22.500 | Michael Smedley | Big contracts with the military. Good management. Earnings are up substantially. | 2004-12-07 | |
| VAGUE | 19.490 | Michael Smedley | In a great area. Good management. | 2004-11-25 | |
| BUY | 15.150 | Robert McWhirter | Recently acquired a company that has access to US markets. Have a strong outlook for it. Earnings estimates are positive. | 2004-10-08 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 15.250 | Peter Hodson | (A Top Pick July 8/04. Up 22%.) Likes it even more as they recently bought Alanx Wear Solutions which is tied into some US customers. Perfect business strategy. | 2004-09-24 | |
| DON'T BUY | 13.000 | Werner Muehelemann | Just did an acquisition. A very strong business at the moment. A bit overpriced at 20 X earnings. A strong story. | 2004-09-07 | |
| WEAK BUY | 11.750 | Robert McWhirter | Produce bullet-proof vest technology. Good opportunity. Reasonably priced. | 2004-07-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 11.860 | Peter Hodson | There is so much demand from the military/police that the ceramic manufacturers cannot meet demand. Trading at 10 X earnings. | 2004-07-08 | |
