Q: I read the news release and liked their last Quarter also. However the outlook has me considering selling this stock on valuation versus go-forward growth potential.
From the outlook: "they expect gross product sales to be in the mid to high single digits in the next year ". So they now expect growth going forward to be less than 10%? This is a company that has been growing revenues of over 30% and I expected that they still had enough new regions to grow into to keep revenue growth high.
So if they now expect growth to be less than 10% per annum, can we assume they are transitioning from a growth company to a more stable income generating company? Nothing wrong with this of course, but it does then bring into question the current valuation: at about $1/share in earnings the current PE is about 60. If growth is 10% wouldn't a PEG of 6 be considered very high, even for a high quality company?
