TBV - Info

Tiens Biotech Group (USA), Inc. researches, develops, manufactures, and markets nutrition supplement products, including wellness products and dietary supplement products. The Company's operations are conducted from its headquarters in Tianjin, People’s Republic of China through Tiens USA's 80% owned subsidiary, Tianjin Tianshi Biological Development Co., Ltd. The Company sells its products for distribution in China to Tianshi Engineering, an affiliated Chinese firm, which in turn sells the products to customers through its branches and affiliated companies and at chain stores owned by individual distributors. As of December 31, 2007, Tianshi Engineering had 100 branches in China. Outside of China, Tiens USA sells its products to overseas affiliated companies located in 52 countries that in turn sell them to independent direct sales distributors who use the products themselves and/or resell them to other distributors or consumers.

TBV is one of the more profitable companies in the Biotechnology & Drugs industry with a net margin of 38.34%. Its operating margin and net margin are among the strongest of any peer while its gross margin is above the industry median.

TBV is overall quite efficient in comparison to it's peers with a Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Revenues Per Employee of 12.32%, 12.60%, and $36,512.77 respectively. Despite below average performance at managing their resources, the company is among the best at managing their owner's equity and at generating revenues from employees compared to other companies in the Biotechnology & Drugs industry.

Because TBV is in the Biotechnology & Drugs industry and has positive earnings, the PE and Price to Book ratios are the most appropriate valuation measures. The Price to Sales ratio is less instructive than the PE since the company has positive earnings. Therefore TBV seems valued at a discount with a PE value of 4.5154, one of the lowest in the Biotechnology & Drugs industry.

Short interest is .8%

Great find with large trading volume.
