AVEE - Trading at Less Than 8x Earnings, With $2.877 million In The Bank and A Positive Cash Flow


AVEE is one of those rare OTCBB stocks that represents growth, management, and integrity.   While the entire S&P is valued at 20x+ earnings AVEE is priced at less than 8x earnings with millions in the bank and a business plan that has excelled the last few years, even during this Great Recession.  AVEE also issued a $.14 special dividend to shareholders a year ago for an instant 10%+ return on investment. A stock that gives back to shareholders.... isn't that a breathe of fresh air?

The company earned $.05 a share in the 2nd quarter which is remarkable considering the worlds economy was collapsing at the time.  String that $.05 over 4 quarters and you get $.20 EPS for the year.  With the stock trading at $1.30 a share,using the term undervalued could very well be an understatement.   Factor in the company's growth and the stock should easily be trading over $3, just on a conservative 15x earnings.  That doesn't include the roughly $2.7 million in cash and $6.7 million in assets.  Liabilities are low in comparison at $1.3 million of which more than half are deferred revenue.

Folks AVEE is one of those OTCBB buy and holds.  The company is flush with cash, has a stable share structure, and is growing its business.  The company financials are audited and submitted quarterly through SEC filings providing shareholders with a highest degree of transparency.

AVEE is a strong, growing company with an enormous cash base trading for $1.37.   We will have more on this stock as time progresses.  The upside potential appears to far outweigh any potential downside, as the stock is trading near its lows.

Keep AVEE on your watch list.  It is a Pennystockguru top pick.
