SGD Holdings’ stock is up over 40% since our initiation of coverage report a month ago. In fact, at current levels, SGDH trades just below its 52-week high. The rise is in conjunction with a big spike in volume, which is a very bullish sign for shareholders. When we initiated coverage, average daily trading volume was only 159,000 shares. Today that number is over 500,000 shares traded per day.

We believe that the rise in the SGDH stock price may be reflective of increased sales traction and the potential addition of new retail distribution partners for its popular tree-free paper products in the coming months.

SGD Holdings’ operating subsidiary, Ecopaper Inc. may be the first firm in history to manufacture and sell high quality, treeless paper that is smooth, acid-free, durable, and chemical free. Leveraging its proprietary manufacturing processes, all of Ecopaper’s products are exclusively made from agro-industrial waste.

The replacement opportunity for treeless paper is enormous. The Company has a great brand name and a history of millions in annual sales to some of the largest and biodiversity conscious retail firms in the U.S. These include Starbucks (NASDAQ – SBUX), Whole Foods (NASDAQ – WFM).

This top-5 treeless paper provider is the only pure play on the exciting treeless paper market that appears to be entering a key inflection point in its adoption. We reiterate our Speculative Buy and $0.20 price target, which reflects the value of its brand, innovative process, pure play leadership status, and a 4x multiple on future sales.
