Prudential analyst Tim Getz gave
PurchasePro.com (PPRO:Nasdaq - news) a boost
Friday by using the magic word -- undervalued.

The stock was trading up nearly 12%, or 4 5/8, at
44 1/4.

In a research note, Getz noted that PurchasePro
trades at 9.2 times its estimated 2001 gross profits,
compared to 25.5 times for B2B companies on
average. (His firm has done underwriting for
PurchasePro.)

Because it concentrates on the low-end of the B2B
market, mostly small businesses, PurchasePro
often is cast as the sector's redheaded stepchild.
Nevertheless, Getz said he expects a strong third
quarter from the company, with "potentially
significant upside" from his $13.7 million revenue
estimate.

And the business of building private-label
marketplaces for small- to medium-sized
companies is an area of the B2B software market
that has received increased attention lately.
(TheStreet.comwrote a story about these kinds of
B2B marketplaces this week.) Getz, who reiterated
his strong buy rating on the company, expects
PurchasePro will sell more than 15 new private-label
marketplaces this quarter.
