Did your broker/financial advisor recommend any of these three stocks which hit a 52 week low? It was certainly not a memorable week for the investors of these following stocks:
1. Danier Leather (TSX:DL)
Danier Leather hit a 52-week low of $10.50 on March 6, but this fall was coming. In March, 2013, the Federal government increased the 8% tariff on leather jackets that were imported from China to 13%. Danier said this would cost the company $1.2 million extra per year. The increase to consumers would be $10-$20 per jacket. Danier feels the revenue losses were due to the power outages and ice storms in Eastern Canada. However, their accessories business has risen 20% from 2013.
2. Halogen Software Inc. (TSX:HGN)
Halogen Software fell to a 52-week low of $10.60 on March 6, from another earlier low of $11.36 in February. Investors were told by the company that they expect to incur losses in the future. Halogen lost $19.6 million in 2012 and $12.8 million in 2013. Unfortunately, the first three months of 2014 were not looking bright.
3. Westport Innovations Inc.(TSX:WPT)(NASDAQ:WPRT)
Westport dropped to $16.90 on March 3rd, hitting the same low point from March, 2011. Confidence is low in the company which had a high of $36.57 in July. Westport is entering into new agreements for constructing natural gas engines and vehicles. Perhaps this is what they need to put them back in the black.
