Bullish thesis on Aterian as an undervalued buyout candidate after a merger announcement.

ATER — LONG Aterian trades at an $8M market cap despite $100M annual revenue and $40M in assets with no long-term debt. The company recently announced a merger, buyout, or other strategic partnership, which the author expects to produce news imminently. This combination of deep undervaluation and a potential acquisition catalyst could drive the stock back toward its $3.50 52-week high or above $3 per share in a buyout.

ATER sits at a small 8M market cap doing 100M in revenue annually. Just a few weeks ago they announced a merger or buyout is coming or other strategic partnership.
