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.
