Stock Analysis of Info Analysis
Thank you for requesting an analysis of Info Analysis from
VectorVest ProGraphics. The ticker symbol for Info Analysis is
IAIC. IAIC is traded on the NASDAQ.
PRICE: IAIC closed on 06-May-1998 at $10.50 per share.
VALUE: IAIC has a Value of $7.70 per share. Value is the
foundation of the VectorVest system.It is a measure of what a
stock is currently worth. Value is based upon earnings, earnings
growth rate, dividend payments, dividend growth rate, and
financial performance. Current interest and inflation rates also
play an important role in the computation of Value. When interest
and/or inflation rates decrease, Value goes up. When interest
rates and inflation increase, Value goes down. Sooner or later a
stock's Price and Value always converge.
RV (Relative Value): IAIC has an RV of 0.78. On a scale of
0.00 to 2.00, an RV of 0.78 is poor. RV reflects the long-term
price appreciation potential of the stock compared to an
alternative investment in AAA Corporate Bonds. Stocks with RV
ratings above 1.00 have attractive upside potential. A stock will
have an RV greater than 1.00 when its Value is greater than
Price, and its Relative Safety (see below) and forecasted earnings
growth rate are above average. In some cases, however, a
stock's RV will be above 1.00 even though its Value is well
below Price. This happens when a stock has an exemplary
record of financial performance and an above average earnings
growth rate. In this case, the stock is currently selling at a
premium, and the investor is banking on future earnings growth to
drive the stock's price higher. This information is very useful not
only in knowing whether or not a stock has favorable price
appreciation potential, but it also solves the riddle of whether to
buy high growth, high P/E, or low growth, low P/E stocks.
We believe that RV ratings above 1.00 are required to
consistently achieve above average capital gains in the stock
market.
RS (Relative Safety): IAIC has an RS rating of 0.66. On a
scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RS of 0.66 is poor. VectorVest looks
at safety from the viewpoint of an equity investor (one who is
buying stock of a company) rather than that of a purchaser of
debt (one who is lending money to the company). From this
perspective, consistency of financial and operating performance,
stock price appreciation history, and price volatility are the key
factors used in the evaluation of Relative Safety (RS). Debt to
equity ratio, capitalization, sales volume, business longevity and
other factors are also considered, but to a lesser degree.
VectorVest favors steady, predictable performers. All stocks are
rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. A stock with an RS greater than
1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average of all stocks.
A stock with an RS less than 1.00 is less predictable and riskier
than the average stock.
RT (Relative Timing): IAIC has an RT rating of 0.36. On a
scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RT of 0.36 is very poor. RT is a fast,
responsive, short-term price trend indicator. It analyzes the
direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price behavior
over the last 13 weeks; then reflects and projects the short-term
price performance of the stock. Once a stock's Price has
established a strong trend, it is expected to continue that trend for
the short-term. If the trend dissipates, RT will gravitate towards
1.00. Should the price change dramatically, RT will notice the
crucial turning point. When warranted, it will explode from a
Price low and dive from a Price high.
All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. If RT is above
1.00,the stock's Price is in an uptrend. Below 1.00, the stock's
Price is in a downtrend.
VST-Vector (VST): IAIC has a VST-Vector rating of 0.61.
On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an VST of 0.61 is poor.
VST-Vector solves the dilemma of balancing Value, Safety and
Timing. Stocks with high RV values often have low RS values, or
stocks withlow RV and RS values have high RT's. How can we
find the stocks with the best combinations of Value, Safety, and
Timing?
The classic vector formula (square root of the sum of the
squares) handles this problem. It combines a set of forces into a
single indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest
database. Stocks with the highest VST-Vector have the best
combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the ones to
own for above average capital application.
GRT (Growth Rate): IAIC has a GRT of 4 % per year. This
is very poor. GRT stands for forecasted Earnings Growth Rate in
percent per year. GRT is updated each week for every stock.
Watch GRT trends very carefully. If the GRT trend is up, the
stock's Price will likely rise. If the GRT trend is down, the stock's
Price will increase more slowly, cease to increase, or
subsequently fall.
Recommendation (REC): IAIC has a Sell recommendation.
REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest
parameters working together. These parameters are designed to
help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks which are rising in
price, and to avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks which are
falling in price.
VectorVest is tuned to give an "H" or "B" signal when a stock's
price is approximately 10% above a recent low, and an "S" signal
when the stock's price is approximately 10% below a recent
high. High RV, RS stocks are favored toward receiving "B"
REC's, and sheltered from receiving "S" RECs.
STOP-PRICE: IAIC has a Stop-Price of$ 12.00 per share.
This is $1.50 or14.3% aboveits current closing Price.
VectorVest analyzes over 6,000 stocks each day for Value,
Safety and Timing, and calculates a Stop-Price for each stock.
These Stop-Prices are based upon 13 week moving averages of
closing prices, and are fine-tuned according to each stock's
fundamentals.
In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a "B" or an "H"
recommendation if its price is above its Stop-Price, and an "S"
recommendation if its price is below its Stop-Price.
DIV (Dividend): IAIC does not pay a dividend. VectorVest
focuses on annual, regular, cash dividends indicated by the most
recent disbursement. Special distributions, one-time payments,
stock dividends, etc., generally are not included in Dividend
(DIV).
DY (Dividend Yield): IAIC has a DY of 0.0 percent. This is
below the current market average of 1.2 percent. DY equals 100
x (DIV/PRICE), and is expressed as a percentage.
EY (Earnings Yield): IAIC has an EY of 0.11%. This is
below the current market average of 4.80%. EY equals 100 x
(EARNINGS PER SHARE/PRICE), and is expressed as a
percentage.
EPS (Earnings Per Share): IAIC has an EPS of $0.01 per
share. EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share.
VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent
earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year
earnings forecasts.
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): IAIC has a P/E ratio of
887.04. This ratio is computed daily based upon Price and EPS.
P/E = Price/EPS.
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): IAIC has a GPE of 0.00. This
ratio suggests that This ratio suggests that IAIC is overvalued.
Growth to P/E ratio is a popular measure of stock valuation
which compares Earnings Growth Rate (GRT) to Price Earnings
ratio (P/E). A stock is considered to be undervalued when GPE
is greater than 1.00, and vice-versa. VectorVest believes that RV
is a much better indicator of long-term value. The RV of 0.78 for
IAIC is poor.
DS (Dividend Safety): IAIC has a DS of 0. On a scale of 0
to 99, a DS of 0 is poor. DS is defined as the assurance that
regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at
higher rates for the foreseeable future. Stocks with DS values
above 50 on a scale of 0 to 99 areabove average in safety.
RISK (Dividend Risk): IAIC does not pay a dividend. All
stocks in the VectorVest system that pay dividends are classified
as having Low, Medium or High Dividend Risk (RISK). Stocks
with DS values above 50 are above average in safety. These
stocks are classified as having LOW or MEDIUM RISK.
Stocks with DS values below 50 are below average in safety and
are classified as having HIGH Risk.
DG (Dividend Growth): IAIC has a DG of 0 percent per
year. Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a
company's historical financial performance and the board's
current outlook on the future use of funds.
YSG-VECTOR (Yield-Safety-Growth Vector): IAIC
has a YSG-Vector of 0.00. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an
YSG-Vector rating of 0.00 is very poor. VectorVest combines
Dividend YIELD, SAFETY and GROWTH into a single
parameter. YSG-Vector allows direct comparison of all dividend
paying stocks. Stocks with the highest YSG-Vector values have
the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth.
These are the stocks to buy for above average current income
and long-term growth. |
