Buy BLIN @ $1.24
Bridgeline Digital Inc. (NASDAQ- BLIN)
Valuation-$2.24
Price August 20, 2012-$1.24
.We have been watching BLIN for a long time—2009. It has always traded at a large discount to our valuation but we think that will change over the next year.
Their last quarter (6/30/2012) sales were down 1% from the prior year to about $6.4 million as they transition their business to iAPPs which grew 35% to 4.2 million, gross margins were 56% and they lost $.02 per share ($.3 million) the same as last year. They broke even on a Non-GAAP basis. Their net cash position is negative $3 million or $.24 per share which is reflected in our valuation.
From their latest press release (August 14th):
“On June 5, 2012 we announced our strategic alliance with UPS Logistics to offer B2B and B2C eCommerce web stores with an end-to-end offering comprised of our iAPPS eCommerce solution and UPS logistics and fulfillment services.
We also completed the acquisition of MarketNet, Inc., an award-winning interactive technology company based in Texas, expanding our North American presence into the South Central U.S. market.
Earlier today we announced iAPPS ds (distributed subscription). iAPPS ds has been specifically developed for large franchise networks and multiple dealer organizations to improve the website tools they extend to franchisees and local dealers to effectively attract, communicate with and retain local customers while enabling superior oversight of corporate branding and content messaging. Franchisees and local dealers would be required to pay a monthly subscription fee for the service.
Bridgeline Digital is pleased to announce that it recently signed a multi-year iAPPS ds agreement with a nationally recognized franchise, which plans to have up to 4,000 of its franchises directly license iAPPS ds. Bridgeline Digital expects to announce more details about this specific customer in fiscal 2013.”
Two of BLIN’s management own just under 10% of BLIN’s shares.
They are projecting $26.5 million in sales this year and to be Non-GAAP profitable. With a market cap of about $20 million and 56% margins, we think this is a BUY even though the discount to our valuation is only 45%.
Average trading volume is about 96,000 shares a day. There are about 15 million shares outstanding. The stock has traveled between $.47 and $3.24 over the last 12 months.

I've been looking at BLIN for a while and figure that insider buying is pretty much key for what direction this stock is going. I'm not buying right now and might miss the best entrypoint, but definitely buying after insiders purchase again.
