NuTech
Digital (OTC BB: NTDL) Conference Call Next Tuesday |
 |
Over the years I have received a
great deal of constructive criticism concerning the numerous typos, misspellings,
and poor grammar mistakes made frequently in this publication. The members
have been watching. In fact, many have suggested I really can't write.
I cannot argue to the contrary.
As it turns out, it has now been
established that I also cannot read. I read NuTech's conference
call press release, and then published the wrong date.
In the Monday afternoon edition I
suggested everyone attend the NuTech Digital conference call scheduled
for Tuesday, November 9th. The call is, in fact, scheduled for next Tuesday,
November 16th. Use the same instructions that appeared in Monday's edition.
If you missed it, simply check the NTDL current news releases for instructions.
Sincerest apologies to anyone who
was inconvenienced by my bone headed mistake.

BrandPartners
(OTC BB: BPTR) Delivers Blow Away Numbers |
|
BrandParners was out with
its September quarterly earnings release just after the close today, and
they delivered outstanding results. This company is indeed the greatest
turnaround story I have ever seen, and the stock is just starting to get
the recognition it deserves.
BPTR delivered $11.7
million in revenues for the September quarter, up from $7.7 million in
'03 (a whopping 52% increase). Net income was $.06 per share. $.02 of the
earnings were from forgiveness of debt. Therefore, BPTR delivered $1.3
million in net profits from operations, or $.04 in EPS.
By any metric you choose, BPTR
is absurdly undervalued. The $.04 per share in earnings for the quarter
puts the company at $.12 to date for 2004. At the current clip, the company
will achieve $.16 per share in earnings in 2004. At $.85 the stock is now
trading at a PE Ratio of 5.3 on 2004 earnings. With a 50% growth
rate, the PE should be about 25- this would suggest an upside target of
$4.
I am going to stick with my relatively
conservative upside price target of $1.50 for the near term, but
the company is worth a lot more.
BPTR needs to deliver $11.4
million in the 4th quarter to achieve a previously disclosed goal of
$50
million for the year. I believe there is a good chance the final number
will come in higher than $50 million.
Since first featuring BPTR in
the mid $.60 range on October
6th, the stock has appreciated about 30%. Not bad for one month. However,
I believe this stock will trade much higher as more investors begin to
follow the story. Today's earnings release should allay any fears that
the first half of 2004 was some kind of fluke.
After making the initial surge, the
stock gave back about 1/3 of its gains before resuming its climb and moving
to higher levels. The stock is now trading at its highest level since last
May.
It seems likely today's earnings
release will result in another strong surge as more investors tune in to
this company.
As stated in the past, I believe
BPTR
is a "no brainer" for microcap investors. You should have this one in your
microcap portfolio. It's a must own, and not nearly as risky as many of
the others we feature.
Here is the complete text of today's
earnings news release for your review:
