Stock in the Focus

Amerisafe Inc is a 2006 IPO. It has been up over 113% in last 260 days. The stock broke out few days after earnings in November. Stock has had 5 quarters of triple digit earnings growth. My research shows Episodic Pivots on young companies have high probability of success if backed by earnings.

MSI.- Movie Star Inc

Labels: Significant Moves

A lingerie company in 'Double Trouble' universe that tripled in few months......

An earnings release and talk of strategic alternatives lead to a breakout on November 15. It was in the 100 plus watchlist soon. The white spikes in the bottom panel indicates 4% plus move days on high volume. They are possible buying point. Stock has almost tripled since then.

The earnings news which kicked off the move.

New York, New York (November 14, 2006)—Movie Star, Inc. (AMEX: MSI), today announced improved financial results for the 2007 fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2006.

For the fiscal 2007 first quarter, net sales increased 37.1% to $18,690,000 from $13,637,000 in the same period last year. Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 31.2% for the fiscal 2007 first quarter compared with 27.2% in the fiscal 2006 first quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,026,000 compared to $4,215,000 in the fiscal 2006 first quarter, an increase of $811,000. Net income for the fiscal 2007 first quarter was $366,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $371,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Mel Knigin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We began fiscal 2007 more optimistic about the Company’s business outlook than we have been for some time and that optimism continues today. The hurdles we faced last year are behind us, allowing us to fully concentrate on improving our operations. Our gross margins increased significantly as a result of a better product mix and lower overall allowances and chargebacks. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $540,000 increase in professional fees. The increase was due to our continuing exploration of our strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including discussions with a private apparel company with respect to a possible combination of the companies. TTG Apparel, LLC, which beneficially owns 22.4% of our outstanding common stock, is a majority stockholder of the private company. Consequently, we established a special committee of independent directors to consider this transaction and our strategic alternatives. The special committee has retained a financial advisor, Chanin Capital Partners, and legal counsel. We caution that no assurances can be made that the exploration of strategic alternatives, including the discussions with the private apparel company, will result in a transaction. We also do not intend to disclose developments with respect to these matters unless and until we enter into a specific transaction or the process is otherwise completed.”

One of the ways to find such sexy companies is to look at the catalyst behind the breakouts. Normally earnings lead breakouts have legs.

More stocks are breaking out and fresh sectors are joining the rally. At the same time some stocks which had a great run up so far are correcting. Those who overstay momentum stocks or buy very late in the move are left holding the bag. Many rookies have no idea as to how much a stock has moved in a year or from its last major episodic pivot and they invariable end up buying right at the top. While long term momentum is good, to time your entry in to a momentum stock it is less risky if it has a short term weakness.

The rally accelerated with 196 stocks in my universe making 4% plus move. Number of stocks are in runaway mode making 40 to 100% moves in few days. Earnings lead breakouts have been doing well in this earning season. The IBD kind growth stocks have also had good couple of weeks.
Because of large number of breakouts today, if you want to reduce the universe sort them by 65 day growth and take the one with lowest 65 day growth. Using that criteria the 5 stocks above 5 are TIE, GEF, CBEY, SPPI and SA.
