Avigilon Bad Financial Results Q3 2015

Author: John Honovich, Published on Nov 04, 2015

Growth hit a record low, with sales expenses continuing to surge yet minimal increases in R&D.

The first financials after the death of the Schmode era and 3 executive departures (including the SVP of sales and VP of marketing) shows declining financial performance. On the plus side, this was largely expected to be bad and now the hope is for a rebound.

In this note, we examine the financials and review Avigilon's new competitive positioning.
