Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 67% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The company sells $51.5M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $20.4M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $16.9M would remain.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 7 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
A loss of $1.2M against $51.5M in annual sales.
On our five-subject report card, TACT sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: TACT is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
