Conan Laughlin‘s fund, North Tide Capital, has recently taken steps to reduce its position in Almost Family Inc (NASDAQ:AFAM). Whereas the fund held 1.25 million shares at the end of the first quarter, the positions has been reduced to 1.03 million shares, which account for 9.9% of the company’s common stock, according to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A provider of home health services, Almost Family Inc (NASDAQ:AFAM) has a market cap of $416 million and its shares are currently trading at a trailing Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 21, lower than most of its peers. So far this year, the stock has not been in a clear trend, although it is still ahead by 6% for the year.

For the current quarter, analysts expect Almost Family to report revenues of $155 million and earnings of $0.64 per share. The consensus among analysts is a ‘Hold’ rating and an average price target of $48.67 per share, which implies an upside potential of approximately 21%.
