• Key takeaways

  • Intelligent Systems (NYSEMKT: INS ) is ripe for activist involvement as persistently high R&D spending on the unprofitable IT segment is offsetting the "boring" yet profitable industrial products segment.
  • Moreover, this high spending is depressing cash flow and results in an inflated valuation, which discourages many value investors (and PE firms) who might be attracted to the otherwise positive fundamentals.
  • Furthermore, the internal tech incubator distracts management from focusing on the core business and should be gradually wound down while investments in early-stage tech companies should be sold.
