The institutions have purchased $1.27 billion worth of shares, net of selling, which is good for 2.3% of the market cap with the stock trading at a new all-time high.

iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT) performed exactly as we expected them to, the bad news is that we were expecting supply chain issues and microchip shortages to curtail the results and they did. The company estimates the issues cost them $35 million in unfulfilled orders, worth 770 basis points of quarterly revenue, and these issues aren’t expected to subside in the first half of the year.

Johnson Outdoors (NASDAQ: JOUT) emerged as a pandemic winner early in the rebound and, unlike some others, the COVID-19 inspired tailwinds continue to blow. The problem for the company isn’t demand, because demand remains high in all segments, the problem is global supply chain issues that have it scrambling for materials and chip-requiring components for its core fishing line of products.
