 Nutrastar Intl (OTC BB:NUIN)

Thursday, March 25, 2010

The GeoTeam will be tracking the Nutrastar Intl story. The company just reported strong 2009 fourth quarter results:

  Q4 2009 Q4 2008 CHANGE
          
Sales $3.8 M $2.8 M 34.00%
Gross Profit $3.0 M $1.8 M 64.30%
GAAP Net Income $2.0 M ($1.2M) N/A
Adjusted Net Income $2.0 M $0.9 M* 118.00%
GAAP EPS $0.14 ($0.10) N/A
Adjusted EPS $0.14 $0.08* 75.00%

* Excludes one-time non-cash merger costs of $2.1 million in Fourth Quarter 2008

For the full year NUIN reported adjusted EPS of $0.58 compared to $0.49 in 2008.

There are still a few things to iron out:

  • Make goods net income targets are not as strong as we would like
  • The company needs to raise funds from foreign investors to comply with regulatory requirements surrounding its reverse merger.

Still, with strong commentary and shares trading at a P/E of only 7, we believe the story is worth monitoring for upside surprises.
