The stock is down almost 75% since last September. The slowdown in the world economy, especially the construction industry, has hit the company hard. It has received several US defense contracts for heavy vehicles and MRAPs. It also is teamed with Northrop Grumman on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) proposal for a new tactical vehicle for the US military. If its team wins that will be a lot of work replacing the ubiquitous HUMVEE used by all four of the US services. That would offset the struggles it has been having with its conventional business lines.
