Globecomm’s pre-engineered systems are based on a set of building blocks that provide high reliability and fast start-up at a very competitive price.

Globecomm’s announcement on Tuesday is certainly good news for the company. While they have been profitable for several years, the last few quarters have shown revenues slightly down from prior years. This may be largely due to the economic slowdown that is besieging many companies with high capital spend products. GCOM’s stock is trading around $8.82, near its 52-week low of $7.77. The 52-week range for GCOM is $7.77 to $ 16.49. Of the five analysts recommending the stock, 3 recommend a buy and 2 recommend a strong buy. It may be time to start watching Globecomm.
