Palomar takes big hits during Q4, 2009

February 11, 2010 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. (NSDQ:PMTI) trod a rocky road last year, closing out 2009 with vastly wider net losses and lower sales.

The Burlington, Mass.-based cosmetic laser device maker reported net losses of $8.5 million, or 47 cents per share, on sales of $16.3 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2009. That compared with net losses of just $420,000, or 2 cents per share, on sales of $17.2 million during Q4 2008. Palomar said part of the Q4 2009 losses stemmed from a $5.2 million set-aside for income taxes. Excluding that provision, losses before income taxes were $3.3 million.

Brown Capital trims stake in Palomar

January 28, 2010 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

After riding a wave last year that more than doubled the value of its stake in Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. (NSDQ:PMTI), a Baltimore money manager decided it’s time to take some of its chips off the table.

Brown Capital Management, which manages about $2.2 billion in equity holdings for its clients, sold off about 340,000 shares of Palomar stock between Oct. 1, 2009, and the end of the year, according to recent regulatory filings. Brown likely banked at least $1 million in profit from the transactions, and possibly more — a lot more — if it bought in before the stock spiked from around $11 a share to nearly $18 each back in June 2009.
