Dutton Associates Announces Investment Opinion: Patriot Scientific Rating and Price Target Maintained By Dutton Associates
Patriot Scientific zu myNews hinzufügen Was ist das?
Dutton Associates continues its coverage of Patriot Scientific
(OTCBB:PTSC) maintaining its rating and price target at Speculative Buy
and $.75 respectively. The 15-page report by Dutton senior analyst
Richard W West, CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com
as well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and
other leading financial portals.
Patriot Scientific Corporation’s new business
course began in June 2005, after a change in top management, when the
Company began to execute its new strategy to become a dedicated
intellectual property (IP) company by licensing the portfolio of
microprocessor patents which run until 2015. Patriot Scientific has
granted licenses for the portfolio of microprocessor patents to 20 major
microprocessor manufacturers, either directly or through the partnership
with TPL, detailed in the report. Patriot Scientific cleaned up its
balance sheet in 2006 and its balance sheet as of May 31, 2007, is quite
strong, with a current ratio of over 15.5 to 1 and working capital of $
29.4 million. Patriot Scientific’s potential
for royalty revenue, while specifically incalculable, is quite large.
Patriot Scientific’s patents address a large
potential market of over 500 electronics manufacturers. Over 300
manufacturers already have been put on notice for possible infringement
of the microprocessor patents. This report details the current status of
Patriot Scientific, the current status of the litigation against
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., et al, the U.S. Patent Office
reexamination of Patriot Scientific’s patents,
and the possible risks involved in an investment in Patriot Scientific.
We believe that at the current market value, the major potential from
continued royalty revenue, the progress made in repurchasing its
outstanding warrants, and the securing of a partner to develop the
technology of its subsidiary Holocom, outweigh the risks and we
reiterate our Speculative Buy rating.
