Commerce Planet
(OTC BB: CPNE); Deja Vu All Over Again? |
|
Summarizing what Commerce Planet
has achieved in 2006 is an eye opening exercise, and makes one wonder just
how high this stock could go. Here's a table that illustrates the progress
the company has made so far this year:

The numbers speak for themselves
with each successive quarter in 2006. Huge quarter over quarter revenue
growth. At the $7 million pace, revenues look to quadruple 2005's totals.
Also notice that with each successive quarter debt has gone down, earnings
have come up, and cash has risen in kind.
Furthermore, since the June quarterly
numbers came out, CPNE has paid off its long term debt entirely,
thereby strengthening the balance sheet and paving the way for even greater
profits.
I'm publishing this edition now because
Q3 earnings are coming out any day, and I believe if you don't own this
stock or want to own more, now is the time to act- before the news hits
the tape. Just look at these charts and decide for yourself if you agree.
Here's how shares of CPNE have responded to the last two quarterly
earnings releases in 2006:
On the left is a chart measuring
CPNE's
performance over the two months following the Q1 earnings release. Note
that the stock was trading at about the $.20 level the morning of
May 8th, the day on which the earnings release came out.
Two months later the stock traded
to a high of $.60. That's a flat out triple over two months. No
two ways about it. Now, let's move on to the Q2 numbers.
Q2 earnings came out on August 2nd.
The stock was trading at $.50 at the time. Two months later guess
what- the stock made a high of $1.80 - this time more than
a triple over the level the stock was just prior to the earnings
release.
When you look at the facts of the
financial performance and the pattern of the way the stock has traded you
can come to only one conclusion- if the pattern repeats itself for a third
time in a row, this stock needs to be accumulated right now, just prior
to the earnings release.
It's not as if the stock hasn't corrected
and given investors a window of opportunity to get in. It was trading at
a new multi year high of $1.80 in mid October. The stock came down rather
violently in a couple of days, and has since rebounded. It is currently
trading in the $1.30 range.
Will history repeat itself for a
third time this year? I can't say for sure. However, if you look at the
charts and combine them with the table that measures the corporate performance,
I believe one can assume this trend will continue until proven otherwise.
If history repeats itself, earnings
will come out any day now. Friday or Monday could be your last chance.
I don't know for sure, but I believe the company will report another quarter
of growing revenues and the highest profits in their history by a long
shot.
The company reported $.035 per share
last quarter. If they had not paid a one time fee of $1 million for early
repayment of their debt, they would have delivered about $.055 per share
in earnings. Let's say CPNE delivers $.06 per share in Q3- that
equates to $.24 in annual EPS. With any sort of significant growth rate
you can easily put a $5 price on a stock with $.24 EPS annually. There's
your long term price target.
Do you want to know if I still have
a $2 price target on the stock for 2006?- ask me after the numbers come
out.

Comments in the BLOG
|
There's a new BLOG posting
on PhotoChannel today. The stock is trading quite nicely out in
front of the pending reverse split, which was a bit screwed up today. It
was supposed to happen at the open today, but for some reason it only took
effect in Canada. The stock will open tomorrow morning under new trading
symbols in both countries: PN on the TSX in Canada and PNWIF on the
OTC BB in the US. Check today's BLOG for more details.
The BLOG is your opportunity
to ask questions and offer comments. I will make an effort to answer every
legitimate question. If I don't know the answer, I will contact the management
and get the answer. Alternatively, if you have questions you don't want
publicly displayed, you can always email me directly at editor@otcjournal.com.
To use the BLOG, simply go
to the home page at www.otcjournal.com
- the BLOG will scroll down automatically on the right side of your
screen. The most current journal entries appear in the middle of your screen.
Check back frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to
overbought or oversold levels in volatile markets.
