Stellar Results for Q2: Late last week, FVRG reported strong financial results for 2Q14, affirming our thesis that this stock could reach the $3.80 mark. A conference call is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, 2014, where we expect to glean additional information and we plan to issue a revised forecast in the near future. Therefore, our projections are under review.

Revenue up Big: Revenue of $14.1M was 252% higher than 2Q13 and 34% higher than 1Q13. Plus, it was 4% higher than our forecast of $13.5M. Gross margin increased markedly and operating income rose by 345% but net income was a bit light relative to our forecast. SG&A expenses were the culprit as this line item amounted to 76% of sales versus our 68% estimate.  We are not concerned at all as it is not uncommon for expenses to occasionally grow at an accelerated rate during a hyper-top-line growth phase and a move to a new HQ.  We are confident that management can right-size the situation in the coming quarters.

Enviable Metrics: In addition to the metrics above, FVRG has now sold product in 174 countries, and enjoyed its fifth straight quarter of operating profitability.  

Stock is Incredibly Undervalued: Management maintains it is on target to achieve $41-50M in revenue this year, compared with $17.8M in 2013. Based on 1H14 results, if quarterly sales remain flat for the next two quarters, FVRG would actually record over $50M in total revenue.  The stock currently trades at a market cap of around $20M, or .4x the potential $50M in revenue figure for 2014.  Even at our target price of $3.80, the shares would trade at a reasonable 1.6x the $50M in revenue number. Therefore, we continue to rate these shares Speculative Buy.
