Time For a New Idea |
|
I'm working hard. If you've hung
with me and acted quickly, you should have made a lot of money participating
in my China ideas. I've identified three new ones I'll be introducing over
the next several months, and I can't wait to share them. I have personally
invested my own capital directly in each of these companies, and I expect
to make a huge return. I hope you do so as well.
I'm working on a new idea for this
weekend. Don't worry- I'm sticking with my theme- it's China. This one
is a bit different than others I've been covering.
Most of my China stocks should not
be considered "Penny Stocks". When I think of a penny stock, I think of
a company trading well under $1, pre profit, highly risky, and lots
of upside. My Big 3 must owns- CEU, CREG, and NFEC are all
profitable, growing rapidly, and north of $3. CEU is NYSE-
and that stock is breaking out today.
This weekend I'm going deliver the
411 on a good old fashioned penny stock. Don't worry, it's China. It's
cheap, and it's ready to break out. This is a true turn around story, and
no one is watching. I believe a lot of investors are going to start following
this one, and you can get the early look and make some money.
And, speaking of the early look and
making money, we're now officially up 43% on BEAC since I
introduced it back on November 11th- and the party appears to just be getting
started.

Beacon (OTC BB: BEAC) Busting
Out- Sooooo Close |
|
Well, this has turned out to be a
really fun day for those of you who chose to participate when I introduced
BEAC
back in November. Q1 numbers were announced, the company held a conference
call, and then the fun really started.
Today, during the conference call,
the management of BEAC announced another $20 million contract-
this one to stretch over 5 years. Spread out, that's about $5 million
per year. The customer is only identified as a global Fortune 500
Pharmaceutical company.
As I write this edition, BEAC
has already traded about 500,000 shares. That's about 4 times
the average volume already, and that stock is trying really hard to break
out- it's not quite there yet. Trying soooooo hard, but technically the
market still needs to clean up a bit of a mess.
Here's the facts. $10 million in
revenues in FY'09 (End of Sept). Since the end of their fiscal year, this
company has announced nearly $70 million in new contract signings.
This is a company that has found themselves one heck of a niche and is
delivering the business.
After reviewing the 10Q, I learned
the company now has just over 30 million shares I&O-
with the current price of about $1.30 we're looking at about $40
million in market value.
I also did a quick cash flow analysis.
Positive cash flow from operations appears to be about $1.2 million
for the quarter- up from a deficit of $600k the same quarter a year ago.
That's a big turn for the positive, and you're seeing the first signs of
a financially very healthy company.
BEAC is both blessed and cursed
at the same time. They have what I like to refer to as a "High Class Problem".
Kind of like having to pay too much in taxes.
Going from $10 million in annual
revs to $70 million in new business is a big jump, and
requires infrastructure. I wonder at what point they will have more business
than they can handle? The $70 million came in the last 4 months- What if
they pile in more new business? At some point they will have to become
much larger. Two of the major contracts are stretched over 3 to 5 years,
so growth is insured for some time to come.
Their recent acquisition of NetConnect
in Europe and the opening of their office in Prague will help, but at some
point I believe we're looking at a major expansion to meet the demand BEAC
is experiencing, especially if the contracts keep coming.
In the meantime, the stock is trying
so hard to break out, but is just not quite getting there. If you own all
you want, this is a little bit of a disappointment today. If you don't,
it might be setting up for a little pullback to give you a favorable entry
level. I can't say for sure.
Technically, this stock has slugged
through some significant supply likely related to early financiers, and
it has to be finite. As you can see from the chart, the stock butted up
against the previous high set back in early January, and then retreated
a bit.
I would really like to see this stock
make a clean break above the $1.36 mark. Stocks breaking
out to new highs tend to show up on everyone's radar screen, and it would
likely get a whole new audience of investors looking at BEAC's achievements.
That's what investing in small companies
is all about. You find the company, and bet someone will want to pay more
for your stock somewhere down the road. If the company delivers huge increases
in sales and earnings, your odds of making a significant return improve.
When I first wrote about BEAC,
I believed someone would be willing go pay more than $.93
down the road. That was 4 months ago, and today they are willing to pay
$1.30
plus. That's 40% higher.
Four months from now I believe someone
will be willing to pay more than $1.30 based on the company's growth
and earnings. I can't say what they might be willing to pay, but I'll bet
it will be more, and I'm hoping it's around $2.
Here's today's news, and it's a good
release:

Beacon Solutions Announces
$20 Million Global IP Telecom Engagement
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTC BB: BEAC - News) (www.askbeacon.com),
an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management
of high performance Information Technology Systems (“ITS”) infrastructure
solutions, announces a multi-year global IP telecom engagement with one
of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies valued at approximately
$20 million over five years.
This engagement will
cover all of the Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company’s facilities throughout
the world, including North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the
Middle East and Asia. The global enterprise client is migrating their entire
system to Voice Over IP (VoIP), and Beacon has been engaged to perform
a global LAN / WAN remediation and upgrade, in order to bring each facility
up to the standards required to handle the increased demand on the overall
network.
“We are pleased to announce
our latest engagement with this Fortune 500 pharmaceutical client,” said
Bruce Widener, CEO, of Beacon Solutions. “This order represents a sizable
project win for our global operations. As we’ve mentioned previously, becoming
a preferred ITS solutions partner with our global enterprise clients and
servicing their mission critical Layer 1 network infrastructure, opens
numerous opportunities for additional collateral work, as evidenced by
this multi-year engagement.”
Over the next five years,
this engagement requires our engineers and installation teams to be dispatched
globally to each client site where they will survey and document the entire
existing network in preparation for a Voice Over IP (VoIP) retrofit. The
engineering teams will be coordinating with client IT teams and identifying
technology gaps in their current network including related environmentals
and building systems. These teams will then perform a gap analysis and
create a remediation design for any observed technical deficiencies. Beacon’s
engineers and project managers will ensure compliance with the design during
the implementation phase, while our installation teams will implement any
changes or additional infrastructure required. Any additional work would
fall under a separate engagement.
“A project of this scope
is a perfect fit for Beacon’s global reach and best of breed customer service,”
added Rick Mills, President of Beacon Solutions. “Beacon employees are
currently stationed within this customer’s facilities and are performing
work related to other engagements. We intend to utilize a combination of
existing and new personnel resources to fulfill the engagement and believe
that there are further opportunities to work with this Fortune 500 client
as they continue to assess and upgrade their networks.”
This Fortune 500 client
first engaged Beacon Solutions in 2008, and now uses Beacon’s ITS infrastructure
provisioning expertise to assist with the management and integration of
its vast network of primary facilities and remote sites around the world.
This latest order relates to additional system assessments, above and beyond
the previously announced North America and EMEA contracts, which encompass
the day-to-day ITS provisioning, maintenance and service.
Headquartered in New
Jersey, this Fortune 500 customer is a global research driven pharmaceutical
company. The customer discovers, develops, manufactures and markets vaccines
and medicines to address unmet medical needs.
