Hong Kong Highpower Tech (NYSE AMEX:HPJ), GeoSpecial

As suggested in our “Hidden Clues Yield Opportunities” article on November 2, 2009, HPJ came through and crushed third quarter analyst EPS estimates.

Article excerpt:

Although one of our prime concerns is the estimated decline in revenues, a clue pointing towards opportunity lies in Highpower's September 21, 2009 press release. The Company mentioned that revenues for the first two months of its 2009 third quarter were up 8% to $13.3 million. The GeoTeam® is speculating that HPJ will exceed estimates due to this information.

The following table illustrates these thoughts:

Year Ends December 3rd Quarter 2009 3rd Quarter 2008 Period Change Analyst Estimate
GAAP Revenue $21.1million $20.5 million 2.8% $18.5
GAAP EPS $0.18 $0.02 800.0% $0.09


We are recoding HPJ to a GeoBargain from a GeoSpecial. Please note that we would prefer a higher current ratio, which currently stands at around 1.2 to 1.
