Luna Innovations Incorporated Announces Stock Repurchase Program

Source: Business Wire
Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced that its Board of Directors has reinstituted the Company’s stock repurchase program and authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 million of Luna’s common stock. Luna’s prior stock repurchase program expired on May 31, 2017.

“Reflecting our continuing commitment to building shareholder value, this new stock repurchase program provides us with additional flexibility to utilize capital meaningfully and productively,” said My Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna.

The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Luna’s working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Under its share repurchase program, the company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or tender offers. Open market repurchases of common stock may be made pursuant to trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that Luna might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The $2.0 million share repurchase authorization expires on September 19, 2018 (unless extended), and does not obligate Luna to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.

The stock repurchase program will be funded using Luna’s working capital. As of June 30, 2017, Luna had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.3 million. As previously announced, on August 9, 2017, the company completed the sale of its high speed optical receiver business for $33.5 million, of which $29.5 million was received by Luna upon closing of the transaction and $4.0 million was placed in escrow.

Luna had approximately 27.7 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2017.

Thank you, Dale, and thank you all for joining us today...

LUNA Sell-Off In Luna Innovations Provides Compelling Entry Point


here


<...Summary
•Luna Innovations is a little-known micro-cap on the NASDAQ that produces high-tech sensing systems for advanced equipment industries.
•2 months ago, it officially merged with Advanced Photonix Systems.
•Arbitrage selling due to this merger has driven the share price down to irrational low levels.
•Stock clearly bottomed at $1, a strong support level.
•The upside here is a probable triple-digit gain, up to 200% within 12 months.
A sell-off unrelated to the underlying business often creates a temporal case of significant mispricing in micro-caps. Acquisitions, mergers or lock-up periods ending could ignite relentless selling pressure from arbitrageurs which could last for days or weeks, depending on the trading volume and the interests at stake.
...Why did the stock sell off?...>

Thanks. I will take a look.

Ride Down Lol GAP in Trap Today

New ride today. $LUNA woke up!

Nice movement today but... What is driving it?

form 4s after hours. insiders getting some free shares for their yearly bonus.

I like this stock and their business. Waiting for volume come in

Fiber Optics - i wounder how long until the big Google Fiber things brings some attention to the sector


notes: discovered by weekend scan.

definitely a base here short term at 1.60...........and looking to break 1.90

today it seems to be basing above the 1.60 mark and slowly making a new bottom to potentially jump higher from there.


what this company needs for swing traders to stay in this investment is a contract anouncement from one of its other two subsidiaries.....or a buyback anouncement to make this move legit.

are they highering any new engineers?? the ones that went with the sale of the sensing company..........were they the same ones working on the other two sub depts? that could be problematic if so.............but they'd have to be outright fools to have done that.


anyway........this wont hold short term here if theres nothing brewing in the other depts..........the milestone payment says there has to be some commercialization reached......sales related i guess........and that could be a looooong time.

this stock didnt have follow thru like most stocks in a buying program for a FUND...


so what was all that spurt buying about all in one shot upto the 1.80's two days ago?


my guess,,,,,,and i do mean GUESS.......is that its likely that Management with its new cash..................getting word from its ex employees on the progress of the sensing technology and potential milestone payment in the future looks good going forward and therefore the company would be trading at a cash discount to its future cash holdings...........so why not implement a stock buyback program if you felt that.

and if thats the case......their strategy might be to buy it in spurts upto the 1.80 range until further progress.....let it drop on its own and buy another spurt back to 1.80 again..

kind of how aapl just did themselves....they didnt run it up all at once.......they did their buying in stages so it didnt runup back to 550 all in one day and then have it drop on them when they were done buying.

Just my opinion.

question is.......can a company start a massive stock buyback without a shareholder notice or are the REQUIRED to say how much and when? I guess it depends if they own 51% of the company or not

i dont want to HYPE a stock just because i own it and that it might benefit me.........................but the fact is for all to see....that we havent seen volume this impressive since 1/22 when they sold the subsidiary and all that chaos was going on..........

this is such impressive volume without significant news other then the fact that this has lots of cash to hold it over and IF they get that 18 mil extra they are waaaaaay below their cash, that the only viable outcome is this goes higher tomorrow.............

will it kiss $2................most likely.......it was in the mid 1.80's today so why not??


if the nasdaq drops 5% tomorrow that might keep this from moving higher, but if there is an institution set on buying this upto a certain price point for their fund,,,,,,,then this will still go higher.

that 18 mil extra means we see 2.40's..........but i dont know exactly upto what deadline we qualify for that.......I assume we are still some time away from that point if and when it happens

Watch $2 test tomorrow

GO LUNA GO!!!!

possibility#3

If the company sold one of its subsidiary..........then why wouldnt it be open to sell the entire company for the right price.......this MAY be a sale of the company in the works or even a hostile takeover for a company with history and cash in the bank............maybe less likely then the previous two possibilities but still viable.

if so.....why not 2.50 a share..or in that range

yup.......i was right.......a bit early to the party but that simply means i got more drinks at the bar.............and now im drunk with happiness...........


so whay is this moving up so much higher today with little to no news....

besides this stock being a beautiful addition to anyones value play,,,,,,,,,this is either one of two things.


institutional buying from a small cap micro fund for the great low risk investment play it is trading near its cash and growing business....

and / or

the milestone payment looks like its going to happen and thats whats making this go 20% higher on no news.......if that 18 mil milestone payment happens we are talking about a stock closer to 2.50 a share


good luck to all

this stock definitely wants to go higher....

am i right or am i right?



check the 5 day chart........it pops here and there with a good spike in volume on the upside.......

a few more trading days and it will be above 1.60 plus...

defintely a floor around 1.40

i personally like this because of the limited risk with all its cash,,,,,,and maybe another 18 mil on the way

good choice mr miami


i'm glad you made some cash.........now its my turn to make some cash on this swing play.........why dont you buy some under 1.45 and make a nice 30% to 40% within 2 months or less...........

Dear LUNA, YOU SUCK!!!
