Terlisa,

I have been holding BOOM long term. Yesterday it came down on this news:

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/finance/external/reuters/SIG=11vg30000/*http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh33069_2006-04-27_14-02-52_n27436734_newsml

Would it be a good idea to add more at this level or sell because of this new?

Also CNXT and NWRE came down today. ADD or SELL? I have been long on both.

DMC advanced from a 51st-place ranking on last year's list.

Business Week screened 10,000 public companies listed on the Standard & Poor's Compustat database, and selected those businesses with annual revenue of $50 million to $1.5 billion, a market capitalization of at least $25 million and a minimum stock price of $5.00. The companies were then ranked based on three-year sales and earnings growth, as well as return on capital. DMC recorded sales and earnings increases of 41.7% and 210.4%, respectively, during the three-year period, while average return on invested capital was 26.9%. The list is available online at http://www.businessweek.com and in the June 4 issue of the printed publication on newsstands.

Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "It is always an honor to be included among the country's most successful businesses, and is especially gratifying to have been ranked among the top-10 companies on the Business Week Hot 100. These honors help validate the strength of our product offering and business model, as well as the efforts of a dedicated management team and a highly committed and talented workforce."

DMC also was recently featured on the History Channel series "Modern Marvels," a program exploring the "ingenuity, invention, and imagination" behind many everyday items and technologies.

Dynamic Materials Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
Thursday October 25, 4:03 pm ET


BOULDER, CO--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 25, 2007 --
Selected Highlights


--  Company reports third quarter EPS of $0.58 versus $0.30 in same
    quarter last year
--  Net income up 93% to $7.1 million versus Q3 last year
--  Sales increase 69% to $42.1 million versus comparable year-ago period

Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NasdaqGS:BOOM - News), a leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2007.


Sales for the third quarter increased 69% to $42.1 million from $24.9 million in the third quarter last year. Gross margin increased to 34% from 33% in the third quarter a year ago. Income from operations increased 72% to $10.6 million from $6.1 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Net income increased 93% to $7.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, from $3.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the third quarter last year.

Explosive Metalworking

The Company's Explosive Metalworking segment reported third quarter sales of $40.3 million, up 72% from $23.5 million in the third quarter last year. Operating income increased 83% to $10.6 million from $5.8 million in the 2006 third quarter. Order backlog at the end of this year's third quarter was $77.1 million versus $68.8 million at December 31, 2006, and an all-time high $84.7 million at the end of the prior quarter.

AMK Welding

Third quarter sales at the Company's AMK Welding segment increased 32% to $1.8 million versus $1.3 million in the third quarter last year. Operating income was $325,000 versus $391,000 reported in the comparable year-ago quarter.

Management Commentary

"Strong demand from an array of end markets fueled another quarter of robust sales and earnings growth," said Yvon Cariou, president and chief executive officer. "The widespread push for new industrial processing capacity continues to drive significant investments in capital equipment, and based on the broad spectrum of domestic and international projects we are tracking, it appears this activity could continue for the foreseeable future. We are optimistic that many of these projects will incorporate DMC's explosion welded plates."

Cariou said the chemical processing, energy refining and aluminum smelting industries have been sectors from which there has been particularly strong order volume in recent months. "The new production capacity we have brought on line at our Mt. Braddock facility and the upgrades we are making at our European operations have enhanced our ability to effectively process the considerable order volume we continue to experience. In spite of continued tension in the supply chain for high-grade carbon steel, we are very encouraged by the volume of work our production teams are moving through our three explosion welding production centers."

Cariou added that activity at the Company's AMK Welding segment could increase significantly in the coming quarters, as one of the business' largest customers is expected to expand production of its ground-based turbine systems, on which AMK provides specialized welding services. "We believe our capacity expansion efforts at AMK have positioned us to effectively manage this anticipated increase in workload."

Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said DMC ended the third quarter with a strong balance sheet that included a cash position of $22.0 million, up from $10.4 million at the end of this year's second quarter. At the end of fiscal 2006, DMC had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $20.9 million. DMC completed the third quarter with total current assets of $78.9 million, total assets of $106.4 million and working capital of $50.3 million.

Santa said management expects sales and earnings results for the 2007 fourth quarter will likely approximate those of the third quarter.

Nine-Month Results

Through nine months, sales increased 41% to $110.0 million compared with $77.8 million in the nine-month period of 2006. Gross margin was 34% versus 35% in the same period a year ago. Income from operations increased 32% to $26.9 million compared with $20.4 million in the comparable 2006 period. Net income through nine months was $17.7 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, versus net income of $14.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Net income in the 2006 nine-month period included a gain from discontinued operations of $1.4 million, or $0.11 per share, net of tax, attributable to the sale of a real estate purchase option.

The Explosive Metalworking segment reported nine-month sales of $105.3 million, an improvement of 42% versus sales of $74.3 million in the comparable period of 2006. Operating income increased 35% to $27.2 million compared with $20.2 million in the prior year's nine-month period.

Sales at AMK Welding for the nine-month period increased 37% to $4.7 million compared with sales of $3.4 million in the comparable year-ago period. Operating income was $606,000 compared with $621,000 in the prior-year period.

DYNAenergetics for $83.4M and Stock
Dynamic Materials Corporation (BOOM) announced it has purchased
privately held DYNAenergetics, a Germany-based manufacturer of clad
metal plates and various explosives-related oil-field products. The acquisition
was valued at approximately $96.6 million (Euro 65.9 million),
exclusive of transaction costs, and was completed for $83.4 million in

was the lead credit arranger for this facility, which was provided by a
syndicate of seven banks. Green Manning & Bunch acted as exclusive
financial advisor to DMC with respect to the DYNAenergetics acquisition

BOOM: S&P Cuts to 3 STARS (Hold) from 5 STARS (Buy); Ups Tgt to $66 vs $58; Analyst Notes
Friday , November 30, 2007 15:40ET

Issuer: Dynamic Materials Corporation (NasdaqNM: BOOM)

Analyst Firm:  Standard & Poor's

Ratings Action: DOWNGRADE

Current Rating: 3 STARS (Hold) (from 5 STARS (Buy))

Target Price Action: INCREASE
Target Price: $66.00 (+13.79% from $58.00)

Analyst Comments: The shares have exceeded the firm's previous $58 target price. They believe BOOM enjoys a strong competitive position, and can look forward to continued high demand from its primary markets, including oil and gas, commodities processing, chemicals, and petrochemicals. However, with shares now at 26X their 2008 EPS estimate, above their 3-year projected EPS growth rate of 20%, the firm views BOOM as fairly valued. They also see risk in BOOM's recent acquisition of DYNAenergetics. They are initiating an 2009 EPS estimate of $2.95 and raising their target price to $66 based on that estimate.
