As an Avigilon investor, I'm not disappointed by the company's financials. They are executing on their strategy set out in earlier years' reports, they are growing well, gaining market share ... even the survey you ran on this site had them rated in the top five for hardware, software and service - the only company to pull off that feat.
It's not the "investors" who are disappointed so much as "speculators" who are looking for short-term bumps. One year ago analysts were touting Avigilon as a good buy even though it was selling above $30 a share. Since then the company's revenues have grown by 52%, and they are on target to nearly double again in the next two years, and yet somehow the company is barely worth the $21 a share it was selling for yesterday?
The only investors this makes sense to are the ones who lose a lot of money in the market.
As an Avigilon investor, I'd be happy to see the company's shares beaten down into the mid-teens once again for a while so I could buy some more :)
It's important not to confuse volatile stock prices with a company's success. They do not always trend together.
