Analysis · INVE · Technology
INVE is buying back up to $20 million of its own stock through a modified Dutch auction at $2.85-$3.40 per share, funded entirely from the $87.1 million cash pile left after selling its IoT business to Trackonomy. At the top of the range, that retires roughly 24.7%-29.4% of shares outstanding—a large shrink for a company this size—and management and directors say they will not tender. The same release gives preliminary Q3 numbers: revenue of $2.9-$3.1 million, 18%-19% gross margin and net income of $0.4-$0.8 million, reflecting the post-Trackonomy business. The buyback supports the stock, but the low end of the range sits above the $2.22 close on October 20, so the company is paying up to retire shares. Final Q3 results are due around November 12 and the offer expires November 19.
