Dutton Associates Announces Investment Opinion: Pressure BioSciences Strong Speculative Buy Rating In Update Coverage By Dutton Associates
ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dutton Associates updates its coverage of Pressure BioSciences (Nasdaq: PBIO) maintaining a Strong Speculative Buy rating and a 12-month target price of $8. The 15-page report by Dutton senior analyst Denise T. Resnik, M.S. is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from First Call, Bloomberg Professional, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and other leading financial portals.
Pressure BioSciences has developed a unique and superior technology for the preparation of biological laboratory samples and is in the early stages of commercialization of its product platform. While the rollout of this technology and the Company's products has been somewhat disappointing (as reflected by the past two quarters' revenues), we believe that, as the sales force is now in place, sales should ramp up in coming quarters, and investors will increasingly recognize the value inherent to this technology. The Company continues to drive its installed base of Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) Sample Preparation Systems to enable it to realize increases in its recurring revenue streams from PULSE Tubes, ProteoSolveLRS kits, and extended service contracts. Toward this end, the Company has increased the number of leads in the U.S. by over 2,000 and is also ahead of schedule in building its international distribution network with distribution agreements with three partners covering France, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, and Korea. We expect that the shares will begin to reflect the substantial profits that we believe the Company can generate beginning in 2011. We are reiterating our rating of the Company as a Strong Speculative Buy; however, reflecting the current market environment, we are reducing our 12-month price target from $10.00 to $8.00 per share.
