Q: Hi, this stock was recently added to Balanced Portfolio has dropped sharply from its recent highs.
New Flyer today closed at $37.83, which is off by about 15% from its recent high of $44.87, reached just after quarterly results. When Marco Polo decided to sell about half of its stake @ $40.40, the secondary issue was oversubscribed 3/4 times. In one of your recent comments also, this weakness was again attributed to one large seller.
It has been widely believed that lately NJ issue has been responsible for the depressed stock price. Today's weak backlog numbers and sequential decline in ECU deliveries besides lower after market sales have caused market to press the panick button resulting in another sharp drop.
My concern is that stock may not recover in near term and is even at the risk of losing more value. Should I bail and find better use of my capital? Thanks
