UDS Group Announces Stock Repurchase Plan

Just a few days after retiring 27 million of their 208 million outstanding shares, UDS Group Inc. (UDSG.PK) took another stride towards improving their per-share value. Up to 10 million shares could be bought back by the company, according to CEO Ryan Coblin. There is no timeframe for the completion of the buy-back, and they will be purchased through the open market at the prevailing price at the time.

Stock repurchase plans are generally considered a positive for current shareholders. Besides the increased demand for shares - which can cause the price to move higher - the reduction of the number of shares in circulation means a slightly higher percentage stake in the company is represented by a single share. Think of it as reverse dilution.....the earnings could remain the same in terms of a dollar amount, but there would be fewer shares to 'share the wealth' with. 

Once they own (or re-own) those 10 million shares, UDS can do one of two things with them. 

Their first option is, do nothing. Those 10 million shares can be held as treasury stock, which has no voting rights, nor do they pay dividends. However, treasury stock can be re-sold later (at hopefully a higher price than the purchase price) if the company wanted to raise funds/cash. 

The company's second option is to retire those shares permanently. The actual act of retiring them would have no impact on the stock's price or value, as the shareholder benefit would already be fully realized by the repurchase in itself. However, by retiring any treasury stock, the odds of future dilution from their resale are wiped away. Thus, UDSG becomes a more attractive investment opportunity, which in turn means demand for the stock may improve. And don't forget, retiring shares is not unfamiliar territory for UDS - they just retired 27 million shares a couple of weeks ago, so they're at least willing to think along those lines.

Either way though, the basic message is simple - UDS Group believes their stock is undervalued, and is putting their money where their mouth is. Investors may do well to take the hint. 

If UDS buys all 10 million shares they intend to, we estimate the number of outstanding shares will be somewhere around 171 million. Considering the company expects sales to ramp up while dilution is headed lower, this UDSG appears to be a pretty compelling prospect.

Zupintra Opens Another Door

As the company described they would several weeks ago, another key Latin American market has been brought into the Zupintra Corporation (OTCBB: ZUPC) fold. Thanks to the receipt of three key licenses, the company can now hit the ground running in Panama.

Zupintra announced they have been granted three licenses by the Panamanian government....one to offer international long-distance, one to offer Internet access (act as an ISP), and one to operate a call center within the country. Being permitted to do those three things will allow the company to proceed with its expansion plans in the region. Zupintra expects the Panama infrastructure to be in place and driving revenue by the end of their next quarter. 

From a macro-view, these licenses represent tangible progress toward the company's expansion plans. This is the third telecom license Zupintra has received for the region (networks in Argentina and Uruguay are already up and running), and more are said to be on the way. Considering the relative rarity of these licenses for most of the continent's countries, this could be considered a big victory for the company, and its shareholders.

Water For Investors, Take 2

When we published 'Water, For Thirsty Investors' a couple of weeks ago, we never imagined it would prompt so many questions, additional contributions, and above all else, more investment ideas. However, true to our word, we want to share some of the themes and company names we received in response to that newsletter.

One of the more remarkable advancements recently made in terms of water line maintenance is the ability to repair or refurbish a broken line without digging. We actually uncovered a couple of companies doing this, but we didn't have time or space to highlight them at the time. We'll make time now though. 

Insituform Technologies (NASDAQ: INSU) is probably the most founded name in the line-repair arena. The company has three product/service divisions:

  • Rehabilitation - provides a procedure to rehabilitate sewers, pipelines, and other conduits utilizing a custom-manufactured tube, or liner, made of a synthetic fiber 
  • Tunneling - conducts tunneling, microtunneling, and other pipe system rehabilitation services
  • Tite Liner - provides a method of lining new and existing pipe with a corrosion and abrasion resistant polyethylene pipe
Insituform has been in business since 1971, and perhaps more importantly, is profitable. 

Though we'd put this company in the 'infrastructure' category, we think the novel idea deserves a special mention of its own. 

Underground Solutions Inc. (UGSI.PK) was a close second in the line-repair category. Their refurbishing abilities don't seem quite as extensive as Insituform's, but then again, that's not all they do. Underground Solutions relines currently-deteriorating pipes with their own PVC pressure pipe. Once in place, the PVC pipe is heated up and pressure-expanded into the walls of the current conduit, thus lining the old pipe with a new interior surface. 

The final name that caught our eye was Bio-Organic Catalyst Inc. The company is actually a subsidiary of International Daleco Corporation (ILDO.PK), but organic catalysts are the company's sole focus (bet that's some company Christmas party, huh?). They don't just do water treatment, but it is one of their key projects. Basically, their bio-organic catalysts purify water without enzymes, bacteria, or oxidants. 

Trading is fairly thin, and as a pink sheet, information on ILDO is a bit hard to come by. But, it does qualify as a clean water opportunity.
