I feel that Marlton is a good investment candidate because; - It is a profitable and rapidly growing member of an industry with strong growth prospects.
- Almost all of Marlton's business segments are contributing to its revenue and profit growth - this is not just the product of one segment which had a strong year.
- It is using its technologies and resources to expand into closely allied business segments successfully.
- It appears to be approaching "critical mass" where it can add revenues without incurring a commensurate amount of additional overhead.
- The Company has a strong, sophisticated management team, and a solid plan for growth - and there is tangible evidence that it is successfully implementing this plan.
It appears that MTY is substantially undervalued at its April 11th closing price of $3.37, as it can justify a market price in excess of $6.00 per share.
