Phinder's
Revenue 'On' Switch Just Flipped
If
there's anybody on the planet left doubting that Phinder Technologies (OTCBB:
PHDT) is serious about winning a big, fat chunk of the global telecom
market, then today may be your proverbial final straw. More importantly,
I think PHDT shareholders stand to be magnificently rewarded soon. Why?
Because the company has literally flipped the revenue 'on' switch.....something
I suspect the rest of the market was waiting to see.
Maybe
I'm getting a little ahead of myself though. Aside from driving telecom
revenue now - compared to no telecom revenue a year ago - I think
one of the more interesting parts of the Phinder story is how nobody
has a right to be surprised about their growth.
Just
for perspective, this is what was said in a May 4th press release....
Zupintra
Panama, a subsidiary of Phinder Technologies Inc., is pleased to announce
it has completed the initial construction phase of its Latin America network....We
have completed testing and expect to start running traffic and realizing
revenues within the next several weeks."
Today,
this is what was announced....
"We
are pleased that we have successfully deployed production traffic on
our new direct routes in Argentina and Uruguay...The company anticipates
that it will generate approximately $250,000 per month in revenue over
the next couple of months by selling minutes to international carriers
via these direct routes."
What a
breath of fresh air - a company that explains its plans, and then executes
them! For me (and the stock), it establishes a gigantic amount of credibility.
Say
What You Mean, Mean What You Say
The
thing is, this isn't exactly the first time they've backed up their words
with actions. In fact, you don't have to look too far back in Phinder's
history to recognize they've developed a good track record of saying what
they're working towards, and then actually doing it.
On
May 18th of last year, Phinder first announced it was looking to acquire
a company in a non-related (at the time) industry. By July 20th of 2006,
the acquisition was complete....Phinder bought KBD Inc., and was instantaneously
in the telecommunications service business - KBD was a VOIP service provider.
It was also on this day we first learned of Phinder's ultimate intent -
to dive into the international telecom arena. It was only one sentence
in the press release, but it was a very important one....."Phinder Technologies
is in the process of obtaining telecommunications licenses overseas, granting
termination of bulk minutes."
They
were true to their word.
On
March 19th they announced a joint venture with Italba Corporation - called
Zupintra Panama. The aim of the venture was to develop next-generation
telecom services in Latin America and the Caribbean. By May 4th, we
learned they had completed the initial construction phase of the Latin
America network.
So,
knowing the company isn't just blowing smoke, I think it's worth repeating
another plan Phinder has already made public - the company is projecting
revenues of $2.5 million per month by the end of Q2. Annualized, that's
$30 million per year, just for starters. If the past is any indication
of the future, I'd have a hard time believing they won't achieve that.
The
Numbers Do Add Up
In
the meantime, here's the near-term monthly tally according to my calculations....
The
Argentina/Uruguay deal is expected to pull in $250,000 per month....over
the next couple of months (which tells me they're thinking this pot
of gold could be growing soon). Even conservatively assuming there's no
growth, that kind of production on an annual basis means about $3 million
in sales.
We
also learned a few days ago a similar project in Ghana, Africa was getting
underway. At $99 per month with just the initial 3000 installations, that
could translate into about $3.5 million in annual revenues. More than that,
Phinder could service up to 10,000 Ghana installations, making the total
potential of the Ghana opportunity a $12 million per-year possibility.
Let's just be conservative for the time being though.
That
already puts the total annual telecom figure somewhere above $6 million.
Now,
think about this....so far, only Argentina and Uruguay are up and running
within the Latin American network. They have several more licenses to do
business in that market, through their relationship with Italba. In other
words, there's a lot more unrealized potential there than what they've
already tapped.
And
don't forget, Phinder had done $2.2 million in domestic VOIP revenue in
only the latter portion of last year - after the acquisition of KBD. Assuming
that vehicle is still in place, my annual total is now past $8 million....and
the vast majority of their target markets have yet to be entered.
Sales
- Fuel For The Stock
Combining
the numbers I'm already seeing with Phinder's penchant for doing what they
say they're going to do, I just like this stock's potential - a lot.
Between
Latin America, other African nations, and the whispers of European and
Asian telecom ventures, I'm guessing there's actually a lot more than $30
million worth of telecom business to be won out there. So, when they tell
me they can at least get that much business, they've earned my confidence
enough that I believe it.
I don't
want to belabor the point again, as we've gone through the model a couple
of times, but......at $30 million in annual sales, we think PHDT is worth
our suggested target of $1.25 per share - about 500% above its current
trading level. Needless to say, I feel the stock is a bargain right
now compared to where the company seems to be going.
As
for timing, I think sooner is probably better than later for anybody
interested in being an owner. Frankly, I was surprised when the stock didn't
jump on a couple of news items from several days ago. As it turns out,
there may have been a block of a few hundred thousand shares up for sale.
I believe most if not all of that has been burned through though,
so I don't know if any procrastinators will get another reprieve. Like
I mentioned above, now that the revenue switch is 'on', I can see the stock's
'on' switch being flipped soon too....and I sure wouldn't want to chase
it after the fact.
