Joe News for 'TRIB' - (J.M. Dutton & Associates Announces Investment Opinion: Trinity Biotech Strong Buy Rating Maintained by Dutton & Associates) EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., Jun 5, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- J.M. Dutton & Associates issues its quarterly update coverage of Trinity Biotech (Nasdaq:TRIB) maintaining a Strong Buy rating. The 7-page report by J.M. Dutton senior analyst Stephen L. Handley is available at www.jmdutton.com, and from Bloomberg (JMDA), First Call, Zacks, Multex, and other leading financial portals. Trinity develops, acquires, manufactures, and markets diagnostic products for the point-of-care and clinical laboratory segments of the diagnostic market. Its broad line of test kits are mostly used to detect infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, blood coagulation disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Its UniGold(TM) HIV test has the potential to become Trinity's single most important product. Trinity completed its submission to the FDA in late March, and is hopeful of receiving marketing clearance for UniGold(TM) by quarter end. The Company's near term outlook is very favorable, as indicated by our projected 2003 sales of $69 million and EPS of $.175, representing gains of 32.7% and 46.0% respectively. The stock remains undervalued, in our opinion, and we have raised our 12-month price target to $3.25.
