Today's announcement from NF Energy
could be the start of something very big for the company and its shareholders.
NF
Energy (OTCBB: NFES) just sold 500,000 efficient lighting lamps to China's
Liaoning Provincial Economic Committee, and once it finishes the second
batch of 2 million, $2.3 million will be added to NFES' coffers. It's
not likely to stop there.
The Chinese government plans to replace
150 million incandescent lamps with these high-efficiency lamps by 2010
as part of the country's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan."
Considering that NF Energy is the
one and only provider of these lamps in the Liaoning Province, this
should be a very lucrative source of revenue for them-revenue that has
been climbing at an admirable clip.
You'll recall that its revenues rose
from $10.3 million to $15.8 million from 2007 to 2008. That's 53% growth!
Worth repeating, here's the rest of NF Energy's financial story during
that same period:
-
Net income: $3.65 million up from $2
million (82% growth)
-
Earnings Per Share: $.10 up from $.06
(66% growth)
-
Cash and Receivables: $11.152 million
up from $6.2 million (80% growth)
-
Long Term Debt: Zero
-
Shareholders Equity: $15.5 million up
from $9.1 million (70% improvement)
What makes this lamp deal with the Liaoning
Province even more interesting is that the bulk of NF Energy's
past
revenue has come via the design and manufacturing of gigantic valves
that make things flow more efficiently in coal and nuclear plants and in
windpower.
Selling energy efficient lamps to
China is like the creamy chocolate icing on the cake. Take a look.

The
'Cake' Itself |

Production and sales of energy-saving
valves, intelligent valves and flow control equipment generated 69% of
NF Energy's 2008 revenue and energy efficiency consulting and retrofitting
services comprised 31%.
NF
Energy controls a 20%-30% market share in the rapidly growing thermal power
device market as well as a 10% market share in the hydropower device
market.
China currently has 800GW of generation
capacity, ranking the second largest installed capacity in the world
behind the US and is expected to add 140GW of new power generation between
now and 2010.
Plus, hard and fast guidelines set
forth by the government will shift the energy landscape away from
coal and toward cleaner alternatives as soon as 2010.
Coming down a really big pipeline
for NF Energy is a project originally conceived by Chairman Mao that will
channel water from the country's longest river, the Yangtze, to three rivers
in the north whose basins are running dry.
Planned for completion in 2050, it
will eventually divert water annually to the population centers of the
drier north, with a network of over 3,000km pipes and a cost of over $62
billion.
You just know that NF Energy has
its hands in this one. It recently supplied $1.7 million of flow control
systems equipment for Phases I and II of the project's Central Route and
expects to deliver much more as the project progresses.
You see what I mean about the
icing? Well, here's a little more.

More Frosting, With Sprinkles |

From a charting perspective, this
daily chart of NFES shown here is about as pretty as it gets for trading
enthusiasts who are interested in "thrusting" situations to the long side.
I've
included the daily 3x3 DMA (displaced moving average), volume and some
Fibonacci retracement levels to show you what I'm referring to. You'll
notice ever since shares of NFES hit bottom back in early April around
$.11 cents, the stock held the 3x3 to the upside up until early June when
it was breached.
However, what's important to recognize
here is within three trading days, the stock regained momentum off the
3/8 retracement level and has since moved back up above the 3x3 again.
This
suggests the stock is trending higher from that brief consolidation period
....a big win for the bulls in my opinion.
This represents a serious bread-and-butter
opportunity for those able to identify when a stock is in a thrusting period.
As a matter of fact, what you see here is often referred to by professional
traders as a "bread-and-butter trade" (a stock thrusts upward holding the
3x3, pulls back and resumes its upward trend to higher levels). Don't fight
the trend.
I believe shares of NFES are now
primed to move much higher. A break above $1.00 may spark another big thrusting
move to the upside for some excellent returns to be had. What's exciting
to me though is I believe this is only the beginning of better
things to come for NFES in the future.
As you can see, NF Energy has a whole
lot of positive things going for it-new sources of revenue, ongoing projects
from "old" customers, an unstoppable clean energy trend and a picture perfect
stock chart.
I see huge upside for NF Energy,
and now's a great time to get your piece of the hottest China penny
stock around.
