Stock price when the opinion was issued
They were just in New York doing a presentation, and the media picked up a lot and spread the word on its satellite images and being able to resell them. Looked at this 2 years ago, and they had problems with their 1st camera, and the stock came off quite a bit. Now everything has worked out and the space is getting hot again. Difficult to value right now as you are trying to figure out how much they are going to be able to sell in the future. He is very much GARP (growth at a reasonable price) and wants to see revenue and earnings come through.
They put a camera on the Russian side of the International Space Station. Certainly interesting and has a lot of blue sky ahead of them. There are lots of interesting and neat applications in what they can do, but what he hasn’t really seen yet is how they are able to put that down to numbers. There has been lots of hype, and the stock has run up on that, but he doesn’t see where the cash flow is coming from.
Takes high-definition pictures and videos from space, and can monetize this with their partnerships. However, the proof is really in the pudding. To date they haven’t generated much in terms of cash flow. They still need to install more cameras. When all cameras are placed in one space station you have to be careful, even though they have this insured. This is more of a speculative story.
Cameras on satellites. Feels they’ve made a lot of progress in the right direction. Management is working hard and there is now more clarity. We may see some positive free cash flow one day. At this point, it is starting to become interesting, although clearly there are still a lot of unclear questions.
Their unique cameras will be transported up on the Soyuz spaceship.
