The bad news is out. Only an SEC investigation into the accounting practices at Indus could further damage this stock in my opinion. It is important that the readers of this due diligence understand this buy on Jan 28th is motivated by in large by technical analysis.
Indus International is the global leader in the business to business field of Enterprise Asset Management Solutions. IINT helps capital-intensive companies squeeze more productivity at a lower cost out of their equipment, facilities, and people while maintaining reliability. How? By bringing a new integrated enterprise approach to the management of the plants and facilities they depend on for products and profits.
IINT is a B2B company and a whole lot more; In fact IINT could be the only B2B, ERP, E-Commerce, EAM, and XML play still selling at steep discount to the relative valuation of its partners and peers in this business. IINT recently issued an earnings warning and will only mange breakeven results when earnings are officially announced. The stock traded down to 7 7/8 and at the lower end of recent support levels. Despite this fact we feel that IINT could be headed a whole lot higher. Why is that? Because INDUS is now expanding to offer solutions in a new strategic initiative that will deliver next generation Internet applications, portals, and web-based content solutions for the EAM market. IINT is expected to grow earnings at a 30% clip year over year even as they forge ahead with their exciting eBusiness initiatives that will leverage existing products, service and support capabilities. We believe that myindus.com will help the company to rapidly deliver new product and service solutions that address the explosive growth of web-based EAM content and electronic user communities.
