RBCL is one of my favorite stocks that I think will triple to quadruple from current levels over the next year. They made $0.037/share last quarter and trade at less than four times annualized Q3 earnings. They have been growing over the last few years which is a trend that I strongly believe will continue given their large backlog and growth initiatives. RBCL sells nutritional and medical products and consequently has a recession resistant business. Here are some more reasons why I think RBCL will move significantly higher in the next year:
1. Rapidly Growing Earnings - RBCL had record EPS of $0.037 in Q3, the most recent quarter. Given their backlog, 2008 likely will produce record annual earnings. 2007 earnings were a huge improvement over 2006 ($0.08 in 2007 vs. $0.02 in 2006). They have a very strong trend of improvement in earnings over a long period of time and I expect that trend to continue.
2. Huge Backlog - Backlog is $8.7M for their CCI account in the most recent quarter which is the second highest level in history. Also, the backlog only represents a portion of their sales going forward. They have GM of 47.5% so additional sales drop rapidly to the bottom line.
4. Expanding Nutritional Sales - Nutritional sales increased 23.5% in the most recent quarter due to international expansion. The company has embarked on some new initiatives to expand their US and Canadian nutritional sales.
5. Strong Balance Sheet - RBCL has a book value of $0.39 which includes $0.33 in cash. That puts them in a strong position financially to continue growing.
