"It's getting worseTitan's third-quarter 2016 revenue came in significantly below analyst estimates, with revenue declining 30% and equipment sales down a whopping 37%. Moreover, its updated full-year guidance reflected a weakening in its end markets"
My Comment to the Motley Fool Article:
Tom Renna
great work. I also thought it was interesting that Meyer said on conference call that Titan would not be profitable for FY2016 which ends January 31,2016. On September conference call he said they would be profitable for year.
To your point that revenue for Q3 missed analyst estimates, to put a number to that: Analyst estimates called for $416 million in revenue and company came in at $344 million. A $72 million miss (or -17%).
Prior to the Q3 call on december 3,2015, all 7 analysts estimated FY2016 to be profitable with significantly higher revenue estimates. I am curious how much longer it will take for analyst to update their research and estimates for FY2016.
Analyst Feltl estimates still read FY2016 net income estimates of $0.26 EPS, that would be $5.6 million net income. And as mentioned in call, Meyer says there will be NO PROFIT.
SEE ABOVE CHARTS From FY2016 Q3 and FY2015 Q3 and note CONSTRUCTION REVENUENot sure if you noticed this spin by management.
In the FY2015 Q3 10Q Titan showed Construction sales of $110m Up from $109m in FY14 Q3 and touted the Q3 improvement vs. Fy 2014 Q3 on December 2014 call.
In the FY2016 Q3 10Q reported this week the $110 million in construction revenue in the Fy2015 Q3 has now been changed to $98m in FY2016 Q3 10Q.
So on the call and on the investor relations slide presentation they show Construction being lower by 11% using the $98 million revenue figure.
But if TITAN used the $110 million construction revenue number that appears in FY2015 Q3 10Q then Construction Revenue actually declined 21%.
Your point about the service profit margins is perfect. If sales of rental, parts and equipment weren't so horrible, the profit margins would have shrunk for the overall business.

I am projecting that there will be more than 1,000 companies that multiply by at least 100 times in price over the next five years. The Dynasty Wealth website is loaded with short educational videos. I would highly recommend to all of your readers that they take the time to watch them. The next five years will be the most exciting and lucrative for investing. Prior to this period the only way that individuals had a chance to create dynasty wealth was to have been lucky enough to have lived next door to Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and to have invested into their companies in the early days.

Titan Machinery Trading Near Multi Year Low
A letter to readers.
Good morning,
Good morning,
yesterday Titan reported FY2016 Q3
How much is Titan Machinery worth?
Titan has a Market cap over $200 million.
The company for 9 months ending Oct 31,2015
Sales were $1 Billion and net income was $1.2 million
Not a very good business model and in my opinion a company that is worth less than $100 million. (under $5)
Cash declined from January 31,2015 to October 31,2015 from $127 million to $78 million.
Sales for 9 months fell compared to 9 months a year ago from $1.4 Billion to $1 Billion
In 9 months FY 2015 when the company reported $1.4 billion in sales, net income for those 9months was $2.2 million.
titan still has not filed their 10Q
any questions or comments are welcomed.

Titan Needs Q3 Net Income to Increase 180% To Stay Compliant With Terms of Wells Fargo Bond
Pressure is on Titan Machinery (NASDAQ: TITN $12.31) to report a stellar 3rd quarter financial report for the period ending October 31,2015.
On March 9,2015 shares of TITN were halted when the company pronounced FY2015 numbers and Titan Chairman David Meyer announced earlier this year that the company was non-compliant with the terms of a Wells Fargo covenant on January 31,2015. Titan's corporate bond was at a low of $66.50 with a 14.88% yield.
Suspicious Trading on March 9,2015 during the day. The overall market was up that day and Titan shares traded down 6%. After the close is when the Company pronounced the FY2015 year end warning and announced store closings. I am thinking inside information was leaked to someone who capitalized on the privileged news.
According to the footnotes in the 10K filed on April 15,2015, on April 10,2015 Wells Fargo made a 6th Amendment (4th in 12 months) amending the Bond covenants and revised the terms of the January 31,2015 violation so that Titan would be compliant. Bonds gained 21% by May 17,2015 closing at $80.
Terms of the 6th Amendment states Titan Machinery needs to earn $1 million in net income for the 9 months of FY2016 ending October 31,2015. For the first six months of FY2016 ending July 31,2015, Titan has already reported a loss of -($5.7 million).
TITAN Q3 report is due out anytime within the next three weeks and the company will have to earn a minimum of $6.7 million net income just for the 3rd Quarter alone or else they will be NON-Compliant with the net income covenant terms of the Bond!
A year ago the company reported 3rd quarter net income of $2.4 million. Titan will need to report a net income increase for their most recent Q3, 180% higher than a year ago Q3.
This morning John Deere announce their most recent quarter and NET INCOME declined 46%.
