Here is why I am bullish on SES here at $0.79: Institutional accumulation and options positioning score 11/20, the strongest pillar in the RQD rating.. Compare SES's -60.0% operating margin and -35.0% ROIC against the rest of Industrial Machinery/Components. As long as cash conversion holds up, dips toward $0.75 are getting bought.
Both sides have a point here — SES's 8/20 balance sheet score keeps downside contained, so the real swing factor next earnings call is backlog and FCF conversion.
Careful chasing SES at $0.79. ROIC of -35% and FCF yield of -18.98% leave the cash engine scoring only 4/20 against a 1.36 Altman Z-Score.. Gross margin is 53.8%, but operating margin is -60.0%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $0.64 on multiple compression.
