Small-cap growth stories rarely manage to avoid bumps in the road, but the bumps that S&W Seed (SANW) have hit have been larger than average, taking the shares down almost 40% since my article on the company
back in October of 2016. In addition to some ongoing challenges in
growing conditions, the company has seen serious destocking among major
customers in Saudi Arabia and the resignation of its CEO, not to mention
meaningful reductions in guidance and expectations.
S&W
isn’t past a point of no return, but there’s a fair bit of debt on the
balance sheet, not much likelihood of strong near-term cash flow, and a
lot of variables that are outside of management’s control. This company
could still generate $200 million or more in revenue within the next 10
years, but this is really only a story suitable for investors who can
take on risks that are well above average.
