Below is a convincing re-rating of Admerex which I found on the Net recently.

It would seem that the move it foreshadows might have begun today, with ADL going to .074 - tho obviously if the below is to be believed there's a ton of upside yet:


As a longstanding, long suffering and current shareholder of Admerex (ADL), I sat down and did some seriously detailed financial analysis and due diligence on this stock, and I believe the company is about to surprise everyone on the upside when their annual report comes out at the end of Feb 2007. I contacted their PR office to confirm their annual report will be out at this time.

For what it's worth, here's a summary of what I found:

1. The Swiss-listed Temenos shares which ADL own have strengthened from 11.35 CHF to more than 22.50 CHF since Admerex’ half yearly report was released This asset revaluation alone is worth about $8M to $10M extra to Admerex, or 3 + cents per share above the current ADL share price of 6 cents. I find it amazing that the market hasn’t factored this into the current price yet. . Check out the share price for yourself at www.temenos.com.

2. The current company share buy back aims to repurchase up to 18 million shares at prices between 6 an 7.4 cents, which shows two things: they believe the current price is undervalued and they have no cash flow problems. This buyback is worth approx half a cent premium to the current price, but more interestingly the sum of all these repurchases to-date has recently taken the combined ownership of the two largest shareholders, Mencius and ANZ nominees, to the critical 90% ownership level, which could trigger an MBO or compulsory acquisition of the company, hopefully at a nice premium to today’s price. Mencius, you may recall, is owned by Admerex CEO Kim Goodall and ANZ nominees’ holdings are rumoured to be associated with Goodall’s supporters or backers.

3. The company’s signed many new contracts in the past 6 months, but has remained quiet on the actual revenues associated with these new accounts. Based on my own earnings forecast for Admerex, I estimate that Net Profit after Tax for Jan - Dec 2006 will likely be around $2.9 to 3.9M, barring any unforseen write offs and including the impacts of the Temenos share revaluation. At a sector multiple of around 16, this would suggest a further price premium of yet another 4 to 8 cents.

Given all the above, I believe the shares should see a very nice re-rating upwards of 14 - 18 cents by the end of February/early March 2007, which is more than double today’s price of 6 cents.

Has anyone else out there looked at this stock recently? I'm happy to table my analysis, but not sure how best to do that. If anyone wants a copy they can contact me via email: scgay at netspace dot net dot au
 
ADL begins its rise

ADL shot up today as investors seemed to begin to grasp how under-rated it has been.

The 6-month top of 7 cents was taken out without effort.

With the 12-month top of 8 cents not far above today's high of .074, further gains might be expected when that is broken - as early as tomorrow.

The faith of those who have waited whilst this stock accumulated an impressive base may be about to be rewarded.
 
ADL is The Speculator's buy of the week

The influential Speculator column in The Bulletin magazine (hits the streets every Wednesday) today chose Admerex (ADL) as its BUY recommendation of the week.

It's a glowing rave which presents a convincing analysis that ADL's real value is actually 14 to 18 cents - 2 to 2.5 times its price on the ASX, even after yesterday's rise.

I'll post more details thru the day unless someone else does.
 
ADL - What The Speculator said about ADL today

From: http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=225510


David Haselhurst in The Bulletin’s ‘Speculator’ column, published today, gives and extremely positive rundown on the prospects of the ASX-based, worldwide specialist software company Admerex (ADL).

Based on an anlysis he has made himself familiar with, Haselhurst concludes ADL has a “net asset backing of 9.1c a share”.

This “suggests a potential value of 13.9c to 18.2c a share, based on a possible earnings projection for the full year to June 30, 2007, and using a multiple of 16.8 times earnings/share, which is the sector multiple for software and services used by Aspect Huntley Research”.

That’s double to 2.5 times the value of the stock at yesterday’s close.

He points out that ADL is presently embarked on a buyback of 18.2 million of its own shares – usually a sign that the directors know a company is under-rated.

Haselhurst points out that the company’s principal, Kim Goodall, had previously grown Swiss-based specialist software company Temenos Group into a “a turnover of $US146m and 450 clients in 40 countries”.

As of 2006, ADL owned Temenos shares worth $6.2m. “Since then, Temenos shares have more than doubled.”

On top of all that, ADL earnings are expected to increase in the present half.

Looks like another jewel from The Speculator.
 
ADL gaps up

In the wake of today’s big announcements, plus ADL being The Speculator’s buy of the week in today’s Bulletin magazine, the stock gapped up impressively from yesterday’s close.

The brief opening spike up to 13c foreshadows the action over the next 7 days IMO, though that may be conservative.

According to the analysis published here this week, and now recognised by The Bulletin, even after today’s gain ADL is way undervalued.

Note that that analysis does not take into account today’s board appointments, and the high level, global networking contacts they bring.
 
ADL - That was a breakaway gap today

From John J Murphy’s classic, “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets”, p. 94:

Upside gaps are a sign of market strength…

Several myths exist concerning the interpretation of gaps. One of the maxims often heard is that “gaps are always filled”. This is simply not true. Some should be filled and others shouldn’t…

The breakaway gap:

The breakaway gap usually occurs at the completion of an important price pattern, and usually signals the beginning of a significant market move. After a market has completed a major basing pattern, the breaking of resistance often occurs on a breakaway gap…

Breakaway gaps usually occur on heavy volume. More often than not, breakaway gaps are not filled.

In which case ADL today appears to be a textbook breakaway gap.
 
ADL - Gapped up through final resistance

Often you have a decline after a crazy rise like Wednesday's, but today's close is half a cent higher again - which continues to augur well.

Yesterday's volume was the second-highest ever, and today's was 2m+. Average volume is so low I can hardly discern it on my ProfitSource charting software - looks like between zero and 100,000 (on rare occasions): but most often closer to zero. So to go from that to 5 million on Wednesday...clearly something is afoot.

Apart from anything, it means the brokerage and investment houses have woken up.

On the charting front, I'd note that now it's pierced 10c on two consecutive days, there's no further resistance of any import till 20c - nearly double the present levels.

Thus I personally think ADL is still cheap - especially in light of of SC Gay's superb revaluation (congrats again to him), The Speculator's write-up and confirmation of same, and the recent and probably imminent positive announcements.
 
ADL - odds strongly favour further rises

It's been an extraordinary week, but here are my reasons why ADL will continue to rise for the medium term:


This week The Bulletin magazine put it on the map for investors.

It is fundamentally undervalued.

It’s now sitting on a massive 2 cent gap.

It’s gone up on strong volume, which remains high.

It just made a positive announcement, and more are expected.

It tends to find support and resistance in .06 increments (e.g. .06, .12, .24) - you can see it very clearly on a 3-year chart. And Wednesday it spiked through .12 to .13, suggesting that the next target may be .18. Which, as it happens, is a figure used by scgay in his 'fundamental' analysis. But certainly the spike suggests a move into new (above .12) territory.

It’s coming off a very long-building base – from June 2005. (19 months.) Its liftoff from that is now unambiguous.


See my other ADL posts for further info on the above.
 
I jumped on today, more so as a bit of a punt... but I might end up leaving it as a bottom drawer stock.

Robroy, the company releases its full year results and annual report at the end of Feb according to S.Gay, do you know the exact day?

Also, what's happening with the buyback now, seeing as they wouldn't have predicted the recent jump in the sp... do they postpone it, continue buying or cancel it altogether?

I just had a check of the Temenos sp, and they're down nearly 15% from January highs.

Cheers,
scsl
