CCA Industries (NASDAQ-CAW)-BUY Recommendation
CCA Industries (NASDAQ--CAW)
Valuation-$18.36
Price August 4, 2008-$7.00
We recommended CCA back in 2006. Ultimately, we booked a 21% gain on it.
CCA has consistently made money over the years and pays a handsome dividend—6.3% yield.
Last time we recommended CCA it was at $9.45 a share and sold it at $11.50.
They had a take-over offer that never went through.
CCA has 60%+ gross margins and $2.56 a share in cash.
So far this year (6 months ended 5/31/2008) sales were down 3% and net income was down to $.16 from $.25 last year.
So while their sales and EPS performance has been lackluster, their balance sheet and dividend provides good support.
Trading at 38% of our valuation, with $2.56 per share in cash, we think that this one will be bought-out at some point in the double digit price range.
The 52 week low has been $6.61 and the high--$10.25.
HSTM trades about 5,000 shares a day, so be careful buying. We bought a little today at $7.00.
There are about 7.1 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
