Stockreporter Announces Strong BUY Rec. & Yr 2000 Target $7.20,
Stockreporter Investment Opinion on Eat At Joe's Ltd. NEW YORK, Dec 2, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Stockreporter Begins Coverage of Eat At Joe's Ltd. (JOES) With a Strong BUY Recommendation and a Conservative Year 2000 Price Target of $7.20 Per Share Eat at Joe's Ltd. (OTC BB: JOES) today received a strong buy recommendation from Stockreporter, a leading European financial Internet publication located at www.stockreporter.de. Stockreporter specializes in the coverage of micro-cap stocks and undervalued OTC and BB companies. The successful Stockreporter team is one of the first independent analysts to begin coverage of Eat at Joe's and release an investment opinion. Stockreporter began coverage with a conservative target price of $7.20 per share for the year 2000, thus indicating tremendous potential from a current share price of roughly $0.30 for investors to generate above average returns in the short, medium and long-term. "We are extremely pleased to initiate coverage of Eat at Joe's Ltd. with a strong buy recommendation for investors interested in above average shareholder returns," Torsten Prochnow from Stockreporter said. "Given that the Company intends to close several acquisitions by year-end, early investors stand to profit from tremendous short-term potential with upside pressure on JOES stock expected to be phenomenal right around New Years." "We are also projecting substantial long-term returns for investors with our year 2000 $7.20 per share price target," Prochnow continued. "Given the unique and successful nature of the 1950s style diner that Eat at Joe's is rolling out across the country, coupled with its early market lead in the $8 billion diner sector, we project that the value of JOES shares will continue to increase dramatically throughout the year 2000." A comparison to the Company's industry and sector as well as the overall S&P 500 provide further confirmation of the steep discount at which Eat at Joe's shares are trading. In fact, JOES is trading at a mere 0.99 price to sales (P/S) ratio for the trailing 12 months. This is far below the industry at a 3.78 P/S ratio, the sector at a 7.59 P/S ratio, and the S&P 500 at a 6.12 P/S ratio. The Company's 1.15 price to book (P/B) ratio for the most recent quarter is also well under the industry, sector and S&P 500 at P/B ratios of 5.71, 6.96 and 9.76, respectively. Therefore Stockreporter concludes that JOES' current stock price of roughly $0.30 per share represents a very attractive buying opportunity for investors looking to profit from the explosive nature of the diner restaurant segment. Stockreporter is very confident that Eat at Joe's shares will appreciate from today's undervalued levels and will offer investors some of the greatest profit opportunities in the small-cap arena over the short, medium, and long terms.
