********************************************************* inTRAVELnet.com (OTC BB: ITVRF) Recent Price: $0.687 Week Range: $.0312- $2.25 ********************************************************* For a free trial subscription go to: www.mynewsletters.com
An immediate "BUY" recommendation has just been issued on inTRAVELnet.com (OTC BB: ITVRF) by the Chief Analyst of the Online Investors Forum, with a short-term price target of $6.00 per share.
"We are issuing an immediate strong "BUY" on inTRAVELnet.com (OTC BB: ITVRF).”
“We believe that inTRAVELnet.com (OTC BB: ITVRF) is uniquely positioned to dominate a multi-billion dollar market, and has the potential to rival the spectacular investment upside seen in the likes of other travel/vacation behemoths such as Intrawest Corporation," states, Chief Analyst, James Winston of the award-winning Online Investors Forum, in a just-issued research note.
*Highlights* *Awesome Revenue Growth! In October record sales of over $1.7 million CDN represented a 79% increase over the same period last year where sales reached $998,445. inTRAVELnet.com is currently on track to hit $2 million per MONTH in sales by February! *Strong sales growth will create positive earnings for inTravelnet.com, which are projected to reach 31 cents per share short term. *inTRAVELnet.com has recently traded near its 52-week low range making this an excellent bottom fishing opportunity. * Projected earnings of $4.8 million give us reason to believe this undervalued stock should be trading in the $6 range over the short term- a potential six bagger! *inTRAVELnet.com is planning to launch a the world’s first real-time vacation interval marketing exchange and auction site with an innovative high tech e-commerce solution program which will cater to the $6.1 billion timeshare resort market. * inTRAVELnet.com has built up an incredible B2C marketplace with a rapidly growing International Travel Club with over 8,000 dues-paying members who are linked to thousands of participating resorts and other travel service providers; a fleet of luxury houseboats; and two ocean going luxury yachts. * Strong Management and Solid Industry Relationships with the likes of Burntsand Inc. (BRT,TSE) a multi-million dollar e-business solutions provider.
*Quick Profile* inTravelnet.com is one of those rare small cap stocks which is about to take the most important step toward respectability in today’s market and that is: Making Money! If it is one thing investors have learned this year it is that “dream stocks” don’t cut it anymore. The bottom line is everything and cash is king. Overvalued dot.com companies who were all speculation and no substance have found their share values cut by 80 to 90% in some cases whereas companies who have continued to increase shareholder value are still doing very well. This is why it is very exciting to find an undervalued small cap company, which is primed for a profitable break out year with excellent long-term prospects. inTRAVELnet.com inc. is a rapidly growing leisure travel and information services company that is poised to change the travel/vacation industry with the first real-time vacation interval marketing exchange and auction site on the Internet. According to industry analysts, vacation ownership has become one of the fastest growing segments of the $467 billion travel and tourism industry, with 5,156 resorts in 81 countries, 4.99 million timeshare interval owners worldwide, and nearly 7.4 million weekly vacation ownership intervals that can be bought, sold, used, rented, or exchanged each year. However, the industry is also highly fragmented and largely dependent on old-fashioned, one-at-a-time database searches to match up buyers, sellers, renters, and vacationers. inTRAVELnet.com is preparing to launch an innovative e-commerce website catering to the $6.1 billion timeshare resort market. The website will feature virtual reality tours of resorts, a full complement of leisure travel packages and services, and a trading floor displaying a bid-and-offer board for the wholesale brokerage of vacation ownership intervals. Based on the Company's background, expertise, and contacts in the industry, inTRAVELnet.com is uniquely positioned to launch its e-business initiative and expects to capture a significant revenue segment from the online resort market in the coming fiscal year.
We believe inTRAVELnet.com has Intrawest-like potential, and we have established a price target of $6 per share based on the company's current business model and membership growth rate. Our Chief Analyst expects to revise that target substantially higher within the next four quarters.
*Valuation* Small cap investing offers incredibly high profitability and leverage given that the company that you’ve invested in, can effectively roll out their business plan. We like inTravelnet.com because of its strong revenue growth, low share price, and its trend toward profitability over the short term.
Many blue chip powerhouses such as The Walt Disney Company (DIS,NYSE) are actively involved with the lucrative time-share membership market. Though Disney is very diversified, other blue chip travel/vacation oriented companies such as Intrawest (IDR, NYSE) or Marriott Int’l (MAR, NYSE) have a strong presence in this lucrative market. The larger cap companies like Intrawest trade at about 24 times earnings.
A good comparable in the industry to inTravelnet.com would be ResortQuest International (NYSE:RZT) whose earnings per share is 32 cents over the trailing twelve months. This has given RZT a price/earnings ratio of 21.29 with a market cap of $128.2 million. With inTravelnet.com on the verge of a break out year and a market cap of only about 11 Million, the potential upside looks very attractive. We feel a reasonable short term price target for inTravel.com would be $6 based on projected earnings of 31 cents per share and a reasonable industry multiple of 20 times earnings.
*Key Investment Positives* *The Market Opportunity is in the Billions*
Empirical evidence shows that the timeshare resort industry is already worth over $6.1 Billion and increasing. Further analysis indicates that timeshare ownership has become one of the fastest growing segments of the $467 billion travel and tourism industry with nearly 5 million timeshare owners worldwide. Nearly 7.4 million weekly vacation ownership intervals can be bought, sold, used, rented, or exchanged each year but all these transactions are done with antiquated old fashion technology developed in the 1960’s and 1980’s. Exchanging a vacation week can take several weeks or even months with no guarantee that a request will take place. No one in the industry has yet come up with a high speed, real time Internet based solution to make these exchanges with buyers, sellers, renters, and vacationers faster and easier. Clearly, this market niche is ripe for the picking. Simply put, the vacation ownership industry is big, profitable, growing rapidly—and highly fragmented. There are thousands of recognized developers and resorts scattered about the globe, millions of owners and vacation ownership intervals available for sale, rental, or exchange each year, and no organized electronic market to serve the needs of buyers, sellers, renters, exchangers, and developers alike. inTRAVELnet.com will provide that solution—a single destination on the Internet where vacation ownership buyers, sellers, renters, developers, and exchangers can all link up to conduct business in real-time. But more than just a website, inTRAVELnet.com's online operations will also provide a market infrastructure engaging developers, marketing groups, travel agents, and travel booking systems. In short, www.inTRAVELnet.com will be an industry-wide virtual network that seamlessly and conveniently links visitors to the information and services they need, such as; touring a property online, buying, selling, renting, exchanging, bidding on a vacation ownership interval, or booking related travel arrangements—all at one Internet address! We are attracted to the undiscovered value inherent with inTravelnet.com's (ITVRF: OTCBB) current share price. We believe substantial investment upside exists in the near term.
*Our Bottom Line* Travel bookings over the Internet totaled approximately $817 million in 1997 and according to Jupiter Communications, travel bookings are expected to rise to over $13 billion in 2003. All this points to a very strong market for inTravelnet.com’s online vacation ownership and travel services business. inTravelnet.com’s current operations are on track to generate record sales in excess of $20 million this coming year. Based on the Company's internal expansion plans, and inTravelnet.com’s groundbreaking Internet strategy, Management projects that revenues could reach $150 million in five years.
We have set a price target of $6 per share on inTravelnet.com (ITVRF:OTCBB), based on the company following through with its current business plan and also based on a continuation of the current membership growth rate. We believe that within the next 12 months we will revise that price target substantially higher. We anticipate a 6X increase in share price during the coming fiscal year, to reflect the anticipated growth in sales and earnings. We are issuing an immediate strong "BUY" recommendation on inTravelnet.com (ITVRF:OTCBB).
