CFW is a rare find. A totally undervalued and therefore undiscovered jewel.
We think this stock is about to see explosive gains in share price and believe that you will agree after reading this! We have studied this company in great detail and have decided to once again, go to point form to keep it under 100 pages. This is a B2B tech co. that is positioned to capture, in our opinion, a serious share of the largest and hottest market we have ever known, business to business on the Internet. For anyone unaware of the B2B market yet, here is a Robertson Stephens report link that freedomstocks.com considers a must read: www.autotradecenter.com/ corpwebsite/stephens.pdf.
CFW realized revenues of $63.5M US last year ('98). With 24M shares i/o and a $96M market cap as at Friday, these are numbers, according to even the most conservative tech/net valuations, that reflect a tremendous imbalance in its market cap (the sum of its share price x number of shares). One would quickly assume it's probably a $100 plus stock, probably having a $500M-1B + market cap. Its share price however, at Friday's close was $3 7/8, and again, CFW's market cap is $96M!!!
As the Internet goes, and namely the crème de la crème of Internet stocks-B2B, this is unheard of. Think we're crazy? Let's take a look at a couple of successful B2B co's, Commerce One (Nasdaq-CMRC) and Clarus (Nasdaq-CLRS). CFW's EARNINGS are the same or better than either company!
Yes, CFW has the same or better earnings as CMRC, with only 1/3 of the shares outstanding, and when compared to CMRC's market cap of nearly $13B and share price of $173+, trades at a discount of apprx 13,000 %. If CFW traded at CMRC's valuations, it would be about $520 per share. Further, in comparison to CLRS, probably CFW's closest competitor, CFW has 6-7 TIMES the earnings and trades at an equally deep discount of 700-800%, with CLRS having a market cap as at Friday of about $770M, closing just below $70, and with a 52 week high of $94.50! At these valuations, which are commonplace, CFW would be $32-$42 per share. CLRS it should be noted, has gone from $3.31 to $94.50 in a year! Also, these are not isolated examples. Look into any B2B you can find- like VERT, ICGE, ARBA, CMGI etc. and find the same scenarios. Now the point form:
· Small float with only 10M shares,
· Officers & directors own 36% of the company,
· No cash concerns and a $9M LOC in place with Foothill Capital at its disposal, and money in the bank,
· Over 400 customers worldwide including many Fortune 500 & Global 2000 co's like: Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Legg Mason, Rothschild Bank, Sun Life, Sun Microsystems, Ernst & Young, America Online, Pfizer Inc, Toys R' Us, British Airways, United Airlines, FedEx, Goldman Sachs, US Marine Corps, TNT Express Worldwide, Chase Manhattan Bank, AIG Insurance, to name a few,
· Numerous Institutional holdings totaling about 900,000 shares,
· Newly launched, award winning complete B2B Product Suite including AXSPoint Solutions, Professional Services Automation, Business Process Solutions, and TransAXS Commerce Manager. These products are already achieving new sales in the USA & Australia, and fully address the B2B arena by facilitating the complete application of e-business company strategies. For more details visit the company website @ www.computronsoftware.com,
· CFW invests $7-8M annually in R&D, ensuring a) its product offerings are best of breed and b) they are of cutting edge technology,
· CFW has offices & distributors in 11 countries in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa, an impressive, vast infrastructure through which we should see highly accelerated growth in its B2B revenues,
· CFW has now shed its German & French subsidiaries which were not profitable, and is focusing on its core business with an emphasis on the sales (licenses & services)of its new B2B suite to new and existing clients in its already huge customer base, giving CFW significant advantages over its competition and any B2B startups,
· An example of this being the recently announced licensing agreement with Telaplex Inc, (an existing client with a multi-million customer base) including the AXSPoint Solutions and Business Process Solutions products,
· DMA (volume) has risen in under 2 months from about 20k to 150k, suggesting a whole lot of accumulation from "smart money",
· Earnings to be released Monday,( with 43.4M in revenues to Q3-99), expected to be negative due to the sale of its French assets (the company announced it expects to realize a loss of $2M due to this -see company press release), but rumored to be POSITIVE perhaps through enhanced revenue streams and less operating costs! If this is the case, we would expect to see what could be a buying frenzy throughout the week, making Friday's close of $3 7/8 an extremely attractive entry point,
· The company also recently partnered with webMethods in their e-offerings; webMethods is slated for one of the year's hottest upcoming IPO's scheduled for the week of Feb 7, with lead underwriters Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
What does it all add up to? A deeply undervalued stock in arguably the most overvalued (or certainly highly valued) aspect of the Internet. B2B- the hottest market in the world now estimated in the trillions. A DMA that has grown 750% in 60 days and counting, and a small float that can translate into sizeable gains in a hurry. Indisputable earnings that challenge the best in the business to date. A world class infrastructure and best of breed B2B product suite to fuel this infrastructure and this marketplace, and an existing Fortune 500 client list that is staggering. OH MY! In our efforts to seek out quality undervalued companies and "time them to market" CFW exceeds our expectations and we believe its time has come! We are suggesting a strong buy with alert, and a target of $10 short term. Further, we intend to re-issue coverage on CFW very soon and expect to be placing a new target on the company.
