Abatix Environmental - (NASDAQ:ABIX)
ABIX is in the midst of a relatively dramatic turnaround. Fourth quarter net income increased 723% versus the same quarter in 1996. Concurrently, the Company's Balance Sheet strengthened significantly, with accounts receivable and inventories declining as a percentage of revenues, thus freeing up working capital to support future growth.
However, ABIX continues to be undervalued by the market, although there are recent signs that it is beginning to gain recognition as a solid investment. Its market price has risen from from below $2.00 in late July 1997, to its close today (4/6/98) at $4.00. However, it still trades at a PE multiple of only 9.3, versus a market multiple in the low 20's.
Late last night I posted an updated, in-depth Analysis of ABIX to The Napeague Letter web site at napeague.com and also e-mailed a copy to the TNL subscriber list. Basically, the Analysis update is relatively positive, and provides additional information about the Company's turnaround.
