Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are key points explaining the movement of inTest (INTT) stock between approximately August 31, 2025, and December 15, 2025:

1. The company reported a significant miss on its third-quarter 2025 earnings and revenue expectations. InTest announced its Q3 2025 results on November 5, 2025, reporting an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share, falling short of the estimated profit of $0.04 per share. Revenue was $26.2 million, missing analyst estimates of $29.7 million. This performance led to a negative market reaction, with the stock initially dropping approximately 5.1% in pre-market trading.
