BancAmerica Robertson Stephens Initiates Coverage Of Lightbridge, Inc. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- BancAmerica Robertson Stephens research analyst Marianne Wolk initiated coverage today on Lightbridge, Inc. (Nasdaq: LTBG - news) with a Buy rating. ''We believe Lightbridge is an exciting growth story offering significant upside potential to our earnings forecasts of $0.48 for 1998 and $0.70 for 1999, average annual growth of 58%. With two-thirds of its revenues recurring, we believe Lightbridge offers investors above-average visibility and significant growth potential,'' said Wolk. Lightbridge is the leading provider of customer activation solutions to the U.S. wireless industry. Wolk estimates the company will qualify 38% of all applicants for service in 1997 with its best of breed network. In the short-term, Lightbridge should benefit from wireless carrier competition and a mix shift to higher margin fraud and churn management software. Wolk forecasts software and consulting will contribute almost 50% of revenues by 1998. Long-term, Wolk sees significant growth from wireline and convergent carriers. With communications deregulation encouraging numerous new entrants and driving new/existing carriers to enter and compete in each other's markets, these macroeconomic trends play to Lightbridge's strengths: proven expertise in legacy OSS interfaces; reduced customer acquisition costs; reduced fraud; and speedier time to market.
