Not that Sigma isn't doing great already. Last quarter, it blew away expectations, earning 79 cents a share when the Street expected only 24 cents. Revenues were up 164% year-over-year, and the company raised guidance. After the report, Think Equity boosted its price target for the stock to $100 from $62.
The biggest problem Sigma has right now is that the company doesn't have the production capacity to meet the demand for its products. But that just means Sigma will have pricing power in the future.
