Revisiting AVCI, a growth stock ;)
Title: Re: AVCI -- Avici Systems Inc.
Post by: la-onda on September 12, 2007, 04:07:58 AM
from Zacks,just fyi:
Avici Systems (AVCI) currently rates a Sell, according to Zacks senior technology analyst Steve Biggs, CFA.nbsp; His latest research report supplies the details: 'Although strong end-of-life router sales are driving better-than-expected revenue, our long-term outlook for Avici Systems remains unchanged. We believe Soapstone offers a unique product but that revenues will be slow to ramp. Six months from now, investors will likely be concerned about a lack of visibility into revenue growth from software. 'Once router sales are complete, the stock should begin to trade on its current cash position, plus the value of a call option for the Soapstone business. With 2007 revenue tracking well over initial expectations, we have raised our estimate for AVCI's year-end per share cash balance from $3.00 to $5.86. 'That said, we maintain a Sell rating on the shares. Given a company in the early stages that Soapstone is in, we believe a call option would be worth approximately $1 at this point. We therefore retain our price target of $7.00, which is approximately the value of cash on hand and $1 for Soapstone.

Title: AVCI - Analysis
Post by: David Randolph on October 01, 2007, 02:15:43 PM
This Analysis was requested sometime ago in the «Analysis on Demand (http://www.3stocksonfire.org/trading/index.php?topic=10288.0)» thread, which is available only for 3SOF Premium Members (14-Day Free Trial (http://www.3stocksonfire.org/premium_service.php) available).

1. Profile

Avici Systems, Inc. (AVCI) provides high-speed data networking equipment that enables networking service providers to transmit data, voice, and video across their networks in North America and Europe. Its primary routing product family consists of three chassis platforms and various line cards. The company provides three equipment configurations, such as the Terabit Switch Router product for the stresses of carrier core routing in large Internet protocol (IP) networks; Stackable Switch Router, a rack-mountable scalable router for service providers with smaller core networks; and Quarter-rack Scalable Router. Its routers are designed to provide high performance across large IP-based core networks; stability and interoperability; and in-service modular scalability to enable non-disruptive incremental capacity additions to the network. The company's products provide these benefits through its proprietary technologies, including its application specific integrated circuits, Velociti switch fabric and distributed system design, IPriori system software, Composite Links, and Non Stop Routing technologies. In addition, it offers support and maintenance, as well as installation and service. The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts.

2. Stock Price History

(http://www.3stocksonfire.org/trading/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=40604;image)

The long term chart above could suggest the existence of heavy dilution, but the small numbers in blue below the price line, which tell you the number of shares outstanding (http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/results/statemnt.aspx?Symbol=avci&lstStatement=10YearSummary&stmtView=Ann) (in millions), shows that wasn't the case.

AVCI's problem was of another nature: heavy losses over the years (http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/results/statemnt.aspx?Symbol=avci&lstStatement=10YearSummary&stmtView=Ann). But, after losing $425 M between 1997 and 2005, the company posted its first ever positive net income number in 2006, which makes this stock quite an interesting case.

Let's study the last couple of years in some more detail.

3. 2006 and 2007 history

(http://www.3stocksonfire.org/trading/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=40605;image)

Wow, so many brutal gaps. Let me try to find out what happened in those gap days.

1 - In April 20, 2006, the stock rose 84% in one day, with 10.8 million shares changing hands. The company reported 1st quarter earnings on that day:

«"Strong first quarter order volume coupled with the initial positive affects experienced from our business restructuring and cost structure re-alignment have resulted in Avici's highest quarterly revenue since mid-2001 and produced our first ever positive bottom line result, before special charges," said Bill Leighton, Chief Executive Officer.»

Non gap EPS was $0.15, which made people think $0.60 for a full year and made the stock close at $8.02 for a 13.4 earnings multiple.

After this big news the stock came off on low volume, almost to the initial point before the news.

2 - Then on July 21st, 2006, second quarter results were out, and again, AVCI opened with a blast, rising 34% at the open. The news was:

«"Due to a surge and acceleration in demand this quarter's revenue and bottom line results have far exceeded our expectations and resulted in the company turning cash flow positive. We expect to continue to see strong revenue and bottom line results in 2006, but caution that the business conditions driving this increased demand can change significantly. As we have previously announced, we have restructured our business to be profitable at what we believe is a reasonable going forward revenue baseline over the near term in a multi-vendor environment, even though we expect that 2006 will substantially exceed those levels," said Bill Leighton, Chief Executive Officer.»

These results were much better than the 1st quarter, with GAAP EPS of $0.58 for the quarter. But the stock rose less, initially, because people were burned from buying this stock on a very big gap up. The stock didn't change much until February 2nd, 2007, when ...

3 - There were reports of an institutional investor, Dimensional Fund Advisors, was holding 661,706 shares of the company, or 4.78%.

This piece of information moved the stock from $7.54 to a high of $13.96, when ...

4 - There was a 33% fall at the open, due to the following news:

• Avici Slips on Soapstone Shift (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/finance/external/tsmfe/SIG=12bre5c5s/*http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/newsanalysis/technetworking/10351494.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA)
at TheStreet.com (Thu, Apr 19)

This is very interesting, the company changed its business model completely, because management saw router orders from AT&T drying in the near future (this probably explains the recurrent low earnings multiple). Those orders presumably would go to Cisco or Juniper. AVCI had $70 M in cash and management said they move the company to the software business.

Let's see what we have over the next few chapters.

5 - Point 5 isn't on the chart, but you can see the gap down between points 4 and 6. This happened as a response to the following news:

Strange, I can't find any news to explain this sudden 26% decline. Ah, ok, I found it later, it was because of the ex-dividend date of a $2 cash dividend.

6 - AVCI rose 35% on the following news release:

• Avici Systems Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070719/20070719005273.html?.v=1)
Business Wire (Thu, Jul 19)

Earnings for the quarter were spectacular, but because they came from discontinued operations, the stock fell back down to close the gap and then some. AVCI paid a $28 M cash dividend and still had $61 M in cash at this point.

4. What do we have now?

We now have a $151 M market cap company with $61 M in cash entering a new business. The past isn't any guide for the future in this case, because a few quarters from now AVCI will be an entirely new business (SoapStone Networks will be the new name).

So, the issue is, how much is SoapStone worth? More or less than $151 M - $61 M = $90 M?

I've read some press releases about SoapStone and the company's website at www.soapstonenetworks.com and unfortunately I don't understand the product very well and can't judge its market potential.

As Buffet says, "invest only in businesses you understand". This clearly isn't my case with AVCI. Perhaps one of you guys is a telecommunications engineer and knows something about the need for this SoapStone product.

5. Conclusion

AVCI's old business is ending and the market currently values its new business at $90 M. I don't know if that's a lot or if it's well below fair value, because I don't understand and can't judge the product, its price, or its market potential. An investment in AVCI shares would be a complete shot in the dark for me. My opinion is neutral.
