We are starting a new series here on MoneyAhoy.com about investing in some great up-and-coming stocks. As you probably guessed, it’s called “Stocks to Watch”. Here, we will highlight some great stocks which we feel are ready to break out based on either fundamentals, technical analysis, or both.
Today, we’ll be looking at the rapidly growing health and wellness focused e-commerce company Conversion Labs (CVLB).
First Things First
As we have discussed over and over again, investing in individual stocks is not for everyone. Before starting to invest in individual stocks, we suggest you first setup an emergency fund, ensure you are investing money in your 401(k), and setup a healthy monthly routine where you are investing in stock market index funds to build your long-term wealth. After you have done those things, you can begin to speculate with individual stocks using money you can afford to loose if things go south. We all know that investing in individual stocks can be very lucrative if you pick the right ones. There is no better way to beat the average market return than taking increased risk for the potential of improved returns! Fortunes have been made in the stock market by taking small, calculated risks on fantastic companies!
Background on Conversion Labs – CVLB
Conversion Labs (CVLB) is an emerging leader in technology driven healthcare and telemedicine. They apply their direct response marketing expertise to healthcare and provide a convenient, cost-effective and smarter way for consumers to access high quality OTC products and prescription medications.
Here are a couple quick facts about Conversion Labs:
- CVLB is publicly traded on the OTCQB (middle tier over the counter “OTC” market)
- Served over 850 million ad impressions over the past 2 years
- Licensed for online Rx and physician consults in all 50 states
- Ranked $164 on Deloitte’s 2018 Technology Fast 500 with 608% growth!
The reason why investing in Conversion Labs is so exciting is they present an end-to-end telehealth customer acquisition model:
With the costs of healthcare rising due to an aging population and poor public policy, more and more customers are looking for cost effective solutions. As folks shift more into the Health Savings Account (HSA) model through their employer offered healthcare, they are also looking for lower-cost options since they are paying out of pocket. Today’s customers are also less willing to wait in a doctor’s office and are more trusting of technology and online services.
Did you know that in a recent survey, 77% of patients prefer a physician who offers telemedicine? This must be the reason that the global online pharmacy market is expected to triple over the next five years (from $42B to $107B by 2025)! Conversion Labs is poised to capture revenue from these potential new customers as we see these large global shifts in patient demographics.
Fundamental Analysis of Conversion Labs – CVLB
Exciting things are happening with Conversion Labs. In June 2019, Conversion Labs entered the telemedicine space with a strategic join venture with GoGoMeds.com, a large online pharmacy. They also just announced a formal launch of their first telemedicine brand, Rex MD.
Here are some fundamentals for you to review:
- Has a $14 million revenue run-rate and growing
- Showing 32% YoY revenue growth
- Reached 93% revenue CAGR (2015 – 2019 est)
- Approx 90 million shares outstanding (fully diluted)
- Current valuation of just $6.86 million
- Every round of money which Conversion Labs has raised in the last 18 months has been at $0.23/share – this is unheard!
- 52-week stock trading range: $0.10 – $0.29
You read that correctly – currently Conversion Labs is valued and less than $7 million when their annual revenue for 2019 is estimated at $12 million! CVLB just closed recently at $0.15 per share. These fundamentals look great, and honestly I am quite surprised we are seeing funding rounds come it at a premium to market share price. That is a very strong message which investors are sending. Now may be the perfect time to take a long position!
Note – Many of these facts were pulled from the following investor presentation. Give it a look and form your own opinion.
Technical Analysis of Conversion Labs – CVLB
We’ve established that the fundamentals are strong for Conversion Labs. I always like to take a look at technical analysis as well to see if this can provide investment clues. Below, you will see a graph of the past 5-years of Conversion Labs. As you can see, prices have been a bit range bound between $0.35 and $0.08. We did see a huge pop all the way to $0.95 back in March of 2017. Wouldn’t another one of those be great :-).
You will notice that there is some REAL support at around the $0.12 level which is helping to prop this stock up. Currently, the stock is trading around the 50-day moving average. Both of these facts tell us that now would likely be a good time to buy as the stock is not currently trading at a premium to historic levels.
We would say this stock is a strong buy at the $0.12 level based on technical analysis. We have seen those prices just over the past couple of weeks, so now may be your opportunity if you have made the decision to go long.
