Rino Intl (RINO) Misses Big On EPS, Shares Down

Rino Intl (RINO) was a high flyer last year as revenues and earnings soared, but the stock began to sell off in January and continued to slide even as growth remained very impressive.  Now we know why.  As I’ve mentioned before, technicals always lead fundamentals.  That is, the stock will sell off long before the fundamentals turn sour.  Conversely, a stock will run well before the growth begins to appear.

Nexxus Lighting (NEXS) LED Biz Growing, But Misses Estimates, Shares Plunge

Nexxus Lighting (NEXS) is an LED play to watch, but today it’s getting pummeled after missing Wall St estimates.  The estimates called for a loss .10/share, but the company reported an adjusted loss of .12/share (still much better than the .21/share loss they reported last year).  They were a bit shy on the revenue side as well posting $3.16 million vs the estimate of $3.25 million.  It seems to be a bit of an … Read the rest

China’s Jinko Solar (JKS) IPO Begins Trading

Three months ago, Jinko Solar (JKS) withdrew plans for an IPO due to poor market conditions.  The IPO market has certainly improved, but I don’t see any improvement in market conditions.  That didn’t stop the company from going ahead and opening for trading today on the NYSE with shares pricing at $11 which was at the low end of the expected range.  Shares aren’t doing much today, down just a bit at $10.90.  Perhaps they … Read the rest

Tri-Tech Holding (TRIT) Matches EPS, Misses On Revs, Shares Plunge Again

Tri-Tech Holding (TRIT) has really struggled since their last earnings report when the stock gapped up with heavy volume after beating estimates.  It’s been all down hill from there, much of that the result of a secondary offering.  Missing revenue estimates this morning isn’t helping.  The stock was off another 20% around the lows today, but is holding what appears to be decent support around the $10 level.
