This release was posted after the bell today, but the stock isn’t moving much after hours.  It’s one to put on the radar for tomorrow.  Shares looked increasingly bullish at the beginning of October, but have since been in a long consolidation period.  Perhaps this news will get shares moving again.  A break out above the $2 level would be quite bullish for BWEN.
