Tessera Holding Corp (NASDAQ:TSRA)
Tessera Holding Corporation (TSRA), a global company that provides chip technology for small electronic devices yesterday reported their fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results. Tessera reported a fourth quarter loss of $9.3 million. Tessera reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings of $0.45 per share. Tessera reported fourth quarter revenues of $70.1 million.
“2016 was a transformational year with the combination of Tessera and DTS, which today we are excited to have rebranded as Xperi, reflecting our new vision of bringing together digital and physical experiences in smart, connected and personalized ways,” said Tom Lacey, chief executive officer. “While the transaction and related accounting had a significant impact on the fourth quarter results, the effect is transitory and does not reflect the underlying cash flow strength of the business. We are pleased to report the integration of DTS is on track and we are confident in our ability to realize the full benefits of the transaction. Notably, the audio and imaging businesses reached new revenue milestones in 2016 and our IP business delivered the highest recurring revenue in the last five years. Looking ahead, we are excited about the roadmap for the combined company, our momentum, and we expect to deliver strong earnings and operating cash flow in 2017.” Business Wire

TSRA opened trading yesterday at $44.80 which was down from the previous day’s trading close of $44.85. Shares closed trading yesterday at $44.65 and spiked down after market to $38.60, equivalent to a 14% decrease from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see that the last time TSRA traded below these levels we have to go all the way back to November 10th, 2016 when it traded at $38.35.
Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down TSRA had been in an overall upward trend dating back to July 6th, 2016 when it traded at $29.56. TSRA has a float of 46.09 million shares and traded 1.12 times the normal daily trading volume on Wednesday. For trading purposes, I would like to see TSRA open trading on Thursday below $40.60 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.50 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
