Key Quote
Mr. Jeffrey O’Hara, Tel-Instrument’s President and CEO commented, “Despite ongoing supply chain interruptions, TIC was able to improve revenues and profitably and substantially strengthen its balance sheet in the last fiscal year. The fourth quarter was adversely impacted by parts shortages due to vendor lead times doubling and tripling in some cases. This disruption has continued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. We have been ordering additional components from our vendors to mitigate the impact of extended lead times and we expect the supply disruptions to lessen in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. “

TIKK stock is trading below the 20-Day and 50-Day Moving averages of $2.96 and $2.96 respectively. Moreover, the stock is trading below the 200-Day moving average of $3.12.
