On the stock market since 1995, it operates in the world of technology. It has 534 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
An average decline of 8% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. For now, time is on the company’s side.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit indicators sit around the sector average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
Clearly below the class average.
The price is looking for direction — no strong breakout, no collapse.
Growth: Sales growth trails the sector average.
The stock trades 33% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 8 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
The average analyst price target is $17.00 — 37% above today’s price.
A loss of $43.3M against $360.5M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
The growth engine is running at low revs right now. Report-card grade: 7/100.
Since the drop from its peak, buyer appetite hasn’t come back.
On our five-subject report card, HLIT sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: HLIT is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (60/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
