On Thursday, Rule Breakers selection TASER International
- Operating and net income were hurt by a $17.7 million one-time expense for settling a class-action shareholder suit in August. But only $7.9 million of that was paid in cash. Without the settlement, TASER booked $13.6 million in profit.
- Management says it will complete the settlement, pending court approval, with an $8 million payment toward the end of the current quarter.
- Nevertheless, those who have rated the stock in our Motley Fool CAPS investor intelligence database give TASER just two stars.
