Research Report Highlights Undervalued Resource Sector Shares;
Enterprise Group’s (TSX: $E) Strong Growth Continues into 2017
March 28,
2017 - St. Albert, AB – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Enterprise Group, Inc.
(“Enterprise,” or “the Company”) [TSX: E], a consolidator of services to the
energy sector is focused on construction services and specialized equipment
rental, today announced that Chris Temple, Editor of US-based subscription newsletter,
The National Investor has released a comprehensive
report on the Company.
The report
succinctly recounts Enterprise’s history in the context of the challenging
Western Canadian resource market: seeing oil drop from $100 a barrel in 2014 to
under $30 and currently $47.
Mr. Temple states, “Together with the
stabilization in energy prices helping out the energy industry, the better
environment is giving an early boost to federal and provincial spending on
infrastructure. Enterprise SVP Des O'Kell recently told me, in fact, that the
January-February time frame this year (2017) has seen Enterprise's
infrastructure folks booked to near-full capacity.”
The National
Investor report should be read in conjunction with Enterprise’s recent Letter to Shareholders.
Salient
investment points advanced by Mr. Temple:
·
Trading at a market price of C$0.32,
shares are trading at 40% of book value of C$0.82
·
Historically normal share prices
tend to be 2-3 times book value
·
Substantial increase in business not
yet reflected in share price
·
Management has significantly
increased (by 275%) its ownership stake from 6.7% in 2014 to 18.4% currently
·
Buy recommendation based on
improving metrics as well as management’s ownership incentive
·
Significant dollars are being allocated by
government for needed and/or overdue work of various kinds.
For
Q4 ending December 31, 2016, Enterprise saw a 20 percent increase in
revenue to C$8.3 million from C$6.9 million for the same period 2016. Gross
profit margin rose to 29% from 5% in Q4 2015.
As
well, the Company also reported positive EBITDA of C$1.8 million for Q4 2016
versus (C$120,950) 2015. For the same period, EBITDA rose to 22% from negative
2% in Q4 2015.
While it has
been an extremely challenging period for resource companies in Western Canada,
Enterprise has demonstrated its confidence and ability to analogously 'weather
the storm' strongly while many competitors and clients are either financially
impaired or gone.
In conclusion, Mr. Temple states: And Enterprise
Group--trading at much less than half its book value--is among my selected
recommendations of growth-oriented companies because of my view that it
represents one of the most incredible bargains you can find.”
