Whoa! A high-performing technology company, gliding under the radar!

We are almost wrapping up 2017! What a year it has been! The technology sector drove the overall stock market to new all-time high levels and no one we know had seen it coming. As such, it is almost impossible to put your finger on any technology company and not get price-shocked! Every well-performing technology company is outrageously expensive... just not today's featured Stock Card! We have been on the lookout for companies that are gliding under the radar, despite performing as well as some of those better-known entities. We have been on the mission to outsmart the financial pros.

​The members of the @OutSmartThePros investment theme have been an unlikely bunch. From Control4 that is upgrading our houses to become interconnected organisms to Five Below which is a debt-free, rapidly growing retailer; indeed in the past few weeks, we have come across some odd ducks. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that today's odd duckling stock is a technology company gliding under the radar of the pros. What an unlikely combination... at least based on 2017 standards! Say hello to Kulicke and Soffa industries! I know! The name is as odd as the stock itself...

Kulicke & Soffa Industries packs and assembles LEDs and semiconductors for the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers. If you've been in your stock market investment journey for more than a few months, you sure have heard of the big global semiconductor manufacturers. However, chances are you haven't heard of Kulicke and Soffa Industries. The company is growing and profitable. It has been debt-free and has a lot of cash on hand to build, grow and even pay back shareholders. Despite all that, it is being traded at a much lower price level compared to other semiconductor stocks and the overall market. Take a look at the company's Stock Card and get to know this under the radar player that fuels the growth of many other big and buzz stocks.

​What's been on our radar?
As usual, we got positively surprised by what's been on the radar of the Stock Card community. Some of the Stock Card requests came through our rapidly growing ​Facebook Group. Others came through our website. The most interesting of all was bluebird bio. Regardless of whether you would want to invest in BLUE or not, we are sure once you get to know the company, you will join us to root for its success. It is one of the key innovators in the gene therapy market that works closely with Celgene to treat some of the deadliest diseases millions of people are struggling with. This week, thanks to Stock Card request, we had a chance to dig deep into BLUE. We also revisited the eCommerce sweetheart - Shopify and said hello to the inventor of the internet radio - Pandora Media.​

What's been happening on our neck of the woods?
This week, we added a news section to the 'All Stock Cards' tab. You can now access the current and all the previous editions of the Stock Card Weekly directly from the All Stock Cards' tab. Take a look and let us know what you think...
