Analysis · TNC · Technology
The Gabelli-affiliated investment group increased its aggregate beneficial ownership in Tennant to 1,022,610 shares, or 6.00% of shares outstanding, deploying approximately $10.6 million since its prior 13D filing. The buying was concentrated in GAMCO Asset Management and Gabelli Funds, which now hold 4.41% and 1.42% respectively. The purchases occurred throughout August and September at prices ranging from the mid-$60s to the mid-$80s, including continued accumulation after the company's disappointing Q2 earnings report on August 5. This persistent buying by a well-known value-oriented investor group, particularly after a 38% EPS miss and a 62% profit decline, suggests the filers view the post-earnings price weakness as an opportunity rather than a deteriorating fundamental story.
