Trump’s Special F X

Posted by

Let’s face it, optimism is one of the most powerful market drivers and, thanks to the President Elect’s actions, Ford (NYSE: F), U.S. Steel (NYSE: X), and United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), Carrier’s parent corporation, are making moves that have Americans believing that manufacturing jobs are returning to America, in one of the best feel good stories in a generation. The optimism is further fueled in knowing that this trend is just beginning.  For most companies, the proposed tax cuts should directly translate into bigger bottom lines and bigger budgets for important needs, so many companies, like Social Reality (NASDAQ: SRAX), should see an increased demand for their advanced ad serving technology and seamless services, which empower their clients to build and run a vertical ad network.  From 2010 through 2015 Social Reality hit an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 170%, while typically running blended gross margins in the 45-55% range, in what was considered to be a pretty rough environment for the space. The Company was able to uplist to the NASDAQ Capital Market, in October 2016, despite the fact the industry was in the midst of a couple of tough years.  Ad tech seemed to be turning the corner prior to the election, and the analysts, who were already calling Social Reality a buy, pegged 2017 to be the first year that SRAX hits positive earnings. Just knowing that Trump cares enough about the working class to try to save a few jobs was enough to spike this CNBC poll (http://nnw.fm/L1J5l), about optimism in the economy, in historical fashion, and the market has taken notice.  The bond market wasn’t a bad place to be when the economic parking break was firmly engaged, but Donald Trump’s victory flipped the script and triggered a quick $2 trillion rotation from debt into the stock market.  The massive inflow elevated a number of obvious sectors, with the financials leading the way as the S&P 500’s top-performing sector, and just about anything to do with infrastructure. U.S. Steel’s CEO, Mario Longhi, stated that they’re ready to accelerate their investments and bring back 10,000 jobs because they, too, believe that manufacturing is returning to America. “We already structured to do some things, but when you see in the near future improvement to the tax laws, improvements to regulation, those two things by themselves may be a significant driver to what we’re going to do,” Longhi said during an interview on CNBC’s “Power Lunch”. Bloomberg stated that Ford’s CEO, Mark Fields, credited Trump’s conversation with Ford Executive Chairman, Bill Ford, as influencing Ford Motors’ decision to continue building the Lincoln MKC sport utility vehicle at the Ford plant in Louisville, Kentucky, “because of what he’s talking about in terms of his economic policies, whether it’s tax reform or otherwise,” Fields said. Trump worked closely with Carrier, after the company announced that it planned on cutting 1,400 jobs in Indiana and moving production to Mexico, but Carrier will now continue to produce furnaces and air-conditioners and will get $7 million in state incentives to keep the work in Indiana. Despite the agreement, about 1,100 Carrier employees in the Indianapolis area will lose their jobs. The Dow Jones Transportation Average hit new highs and, according to conventional market wisdom, this means that the greater market is going higher.  The basis for this optimism is the belief that Trump will be able to get Congress to cut taxes and implement more business friendly policies.  If this happens, we could reach levels of real economic growth that we haven’t seen in generations. Make no mistake about it; Trump is inheriting a financial mess and the corporate media famously predicted that Trump’s win would kill the market, so, unfortunately, far too people missed out on a huge market rally.

AppNexus IPO may signal bright outlook for the Ad Tech space

Posted by

With the Wall Street Journal (http://nnw.fm/9SxEJ) reporting that AppNexus filed its IPO paperwork, in a deal that is likely to be underwritten by Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), it’s time to review the ad tech landscape.  After all, the deal is projected to be twice as large as the most recent ad tech IPO, The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), which commanded a premium of nearly 80% above its IPO price target and a $1 billion opening trading day valuation. Despite the sagging economy, internet and mobile advertising has been growing by approximately 20% per year.  Yet, despite the growth rate, the past two years have been tough for the industry and venture funding for ad tech startups became harder to secure, so any positive momentum is very welcome and may even explain the analysts’ enthusiasm for the players in the ad tech space, like The Trade Desk, which is rated a buy, or stronger, with an average price target of $33.43 and a call as high as $40.00, while Social Reality (NASDAQ: SRAX), which uplisted to the NASDAQ Capital Market in October 2016, has its analysts calling it a buy, on an EPS of 27 cents in 2017, with an average price target of $10.75 and the high target of $14.00. With public sentiment experiencing one of the largest upswings in history, on the heels of the Trump victory, many businesses can begin to take an expansionary stance toward the future, and marketing should be one of the big beneficiaries should that trend come to fruition. The ad tech industry, at one point, was somewhat of an afterthought, but once it became a crucial piece of the monetization model for the web and mobile, the large marketing tech and vendor sites are constantly looking for the next ad tech acquisition.  Ad tech not only empowers the buying and selling of digital ad space on ad networks and exchanges, but it also includes analytics, data management platforms and other digital tools, which allow organizations to more effectively employ marketing campaigns that target specific audiences. Social Reality is a leading provider of automated digital platform technology and social management software, for Internet and mobile advertising.  Management has consistently grown revenues, from about $500,000, in 2010, to over $30 million, in 2015, an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 170%, while typically running blended gross margins in the 45-55% range. The Trade Desk is similar to Social Reality, in that its technology is designed to empower ad buyers by providing a self-service platform that enables their clients to manage data-driven digital advertising campaigns. The same economic dynamics that should benefit the ad tech sector go a long way in explaining why the financials have become the S&P 500’s best-performing sector since the election.  Underwriters, like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase, should see a noticeable increase in IPOs and merger and acquisition activity. 2016 is tracking to finish with 121 completed IPOs, which is just ahead of 2008 and 2009, but only 1/3-1/2 of the typical recent years’ volume. J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs are leading an underwriting group for the trivago NV, the travel web search booking website, IPO set for the 15th of December.

Alltemp, Inc. (LTMP)

Alltemp, Inc. (LTMP) When Alltemp, Inc. (LTMP) stated that it is “The Future of Refrigeration and Cooling,” it understood that this type of revolutionary title isn’t one that’s used lightly. However, since the Company developed proprietary, environmentally friendly, refrigerant technologies, aimed at curbing ozone depletion, reducing energy consumption and offering truly superior performance, in this case the designation is spot-on. What’s more, the company’s alltemp® refrigerants, which are now commercially available to HVAC technicians and contractors, are designed to be compatible with the vast majority of existing commercial, and residential, cooling systems and satisfy all current environmental protocols related to the rapidly evolving global refrigeration industry. Increasingly, climate change concerns are becoming part of daily life for billions around the globe. NASA’s data indicates that the global temperature increased by 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, with 16 of the 17 warmest years on record having occurred since 2001. This environmental calamity has impacted regulations and fostered incentive programs for an ever-growing collection of industries, but one of the landmark agreements that kicked off this shift in thinking was 1988’s Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The Montreal Protocol, signed by President Ronald Reagan and ratified by a total of 196 countries, as well as the European Union, has been hailed as one of the most exceptional examples of international cooperation in history. The treaty’s goal has been to phase out the production of numerous substances that have been connected with ozone depletion, including several groups of halogenated hydrocarbons that were used extensively in refrigeration. Since the Montreal Protocol, use of these banned substances has been on a sustained decline, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that man-made hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), classified as class II controlled substances, are still used as refrigerants in existing air conditioners and refrigeration equipment. This is set to change in the coming years. New production and import of most HCFCs will be phased out by 2020, as part of the EPA’s Clean Air Act. In addition to the environmental benefits of this regulatory action, a market opportunity is primed to surface for forward-thinking companies like Alltemp with innovative alternatives to HCFC refrigerants. As William Lopshire, Alltemp CEO, noted in a recent news release, there is “a critical shortage of replacement refrigerants worldwide,” making alltemp® a timely solution to a present and growing demand within the HVAC and refrigeration industries. alltemp® refrigerants target a variety of market applications, including commercial refrigeration, chillers, air conditioning and heat pumps, and waste heat recovery. Meeting the unique needs associated with the 2020 HCFC phase-out, the company’s proprietary solutions serve as an efficient, drop-in refrigerant that can be used with existing systems without the need for costly equipment replacement or modification. In fact, using industry standard R-22 as a baseline, alltemp® products have been shown to improve system efficiency by up to 35 percent while increasing capacity. For comparison, MO99, an R-22 alternative produced by international conglomerate DuPont, has been shown to decrease system efficiency by roughly 20 percent while slightly decreasing capacity. Alltemp completed a number of case studies, which confirmed the potential economic benefits of its alltemp® line across multiple applications. The product line’s optimal balance of performance, environmental sustainability and safety is paired with significant HVAC cost savings, including estimated savings of 38 percent for convenience store giant 7-Eleven and 28 percent savings for fast food behemoth McDonald’s, versus traditional refrigerant alternatives, per data from Applied Research Laboratories. The impending phase-out of potentially harmful HCFCs is creating a veritable renaissance within the longstanding HVAC and refrigeration markets. By developing and commercializing a true drop-in solution to this industry shift, Alltemp is positioning itself to capitalize on these regulations. Additionally, by offering solutions that have been shown to improve the efficiency and capacity of existing systems, the company is presenting an unmatched value proposition to an expansive base of potential customers spanning nearly every sector of the economy.
