Q: Hi guys.

Any idea why, despite growing their earnings through 2014 and 2015, Callidus Capital's (CBL) share price has declined so dramatically in 2015?

Also, do you have an opinion why the market is giving CBL such a low multiple? Alaris Royalty (AD) is still dealing with its troubled investments and is trading at a 13.41 2017 estimated eps multiple. In contrast, CBL trades at a 2017 estimated earnings p/e of 9.77. Why has Alaris, historically, been given such a higher multiple than Callidus?

Thanks, as always.
