Two newsletters like NTAIF - why isn't stock at $50 already?
-------------------------------------------------------- 4. Blood In Asian Streets Prompts Acquisition Drive (NTAIF) Thursday, April 9, 1998
A great set of financials, a major buyback and an impending Asian bottom-fishing expedition are among the reasons why both value investing sage Al Frank and small-cap expert Richard Geist list Nam Tai Electronics (NTAIF) as their top pick for April 1998.
The independent provider of manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of popular consumer electronics products like personal organizers and calculators counts Texas Instruments, Sharp, Seiko and Nintendo as major, multi-year customers. Nam Tai also plans to capitalize on the Asian contagion by using $102 million in the bank to make some top shelf acquisitions and investments at bargain prices.
Figures like these speak for themselves: the stock trades at 1.3 times book value, 7.5 times current operating earnings and 6.3 times cash flow, and provides a 17% return on equity. Revenues grew 23% in 1997, there's no long-term debt to speak of, and a rights offering just netted the firm $47.7 million. Citing all this and more, Al Frank recommends buying NTAIF "up to $21.60" and Richard Geist recommends buying "at current levels" as a good long-term play.
For more on these recommendations see the following: "Stock of the Month," April 1998, The Prudent Speculator. Al Frank recommends out-of-favor, undervalued stocks trading for low valuations relative to what he thinks the business will be worth over the next three to five years.
