By | Mining | No Comments

With analysts predicting uranium will outperform other energy commodities in 2016 it may be time to take a closer look at some uranium stocks to watch in the coming months. As governments start embracing nuclear power again as the Japanese Fukushima disaster fades from memory, along with the recent Paris climate summit, uranium is on the radar again.

As news that China plans on constructing between six to eight nuclear power plants every year through 2021, all uranium oversupply worries and global economic growth concerns have been crossed off any equations.

With uranium demand looking brighter one small cap stock to watch would be Uranium Resources, Inc. (URRE). URRE acquires and develops uranium mining properties using the “in-situ recovery” or ISR solution mining process. Uranium Mining owns developed and undeveloped properties in Texas and New Mexico with two licensed ISR processing facilities in Texas. Other properties and holdings can be found on the URRE website. URRE stock is currently at $0.49 a share with a 52-week range of $.035 to $1.98 a share.

Other uranium small cap stocks to watch would be UR-Energy Inc. (URG), Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC) and UEX Corp. (UEX.TO). All these stocks are hovering just above 52-week lows.

Stay tuned TKO’ers and have a great New Year!

Can Deutsche Bank Backing Turn Around SunEdison (SUNE)?

By | Technology | No Comments

As SunEdison, Inc. (SUNE) flirts with 52-week lows, and conflicting news reports have shareholders scratching their heads, what will happen next?

About an hour before the closing bell an article hit the internet that an investor meeting hosted by Deutsche Bank addressed the company’s $11.6 billion debt structure and its plans to reduce operating costs. SunEdison’s high debt structure has been a major concern for shareholders as the stock has plummeted 86% from a 52-week high of $33.45 on July 20, 2015. When the Deutsche Bank article hit the press, SUNE stock spiked almost 8% to close at $3.25 a share, up $0.23 from the open.

But the party was short lived. Another press release, this one after the closing bell from Khang & Khang LLP, announced the commencement of an investigation concerning claims of potential misrepresentations by SunEdison, Inc. causing investors potential harm. In after hours trading SUNE stock has dropped over 10% to $2.92 a share.

Meanwhile, shareholders who aren’t happy with SunEdison’s merger deals with Invenergy and Vivent Solar were told the deals are going forward and will provide the company with needed cash flow. How all this news affects investor confidence will soon be known. At the end of October, the short percentage of float was 32%.

Deutsche Bank is bullish on SunEdison, Inc (SUNE) with a target price of $16 per share citing the 2016 earning power of its yield producing assets.

Tesla Motors Plans Growth Using Referral Program

By | Green | No Comments

n an effort to boost its auto sales, and to circumvent states with dealer franchise laws, Tesla Motors announced it will test a new social referral incentive program running through October 31, 2015.

Since Tesla doesn’t work with dealerships, and runs afoul of dealer franchise laws by selling directly to consumers in states like Texas, it has decided to test a referral program that passes the savings onto consumers.

According to Tesla Motors (TSLA) the cost to sell a car through one of their stores runs about $2,000 in building and operational costs. The referral program allows current Tesla owners to share a link with friends which will give the referral $1,000 off the purchase price when they order a new Model S before October 31. It also gives the current owner a $1,000 credit off their next purchase.

In addition, anyone making five referrals gets an invitation, along with a guest, to attend the Tesla Gigafactory grand opening brouhaha. If you hit ten referrals you get the option to purchase a new, fully-loaded Model X at the base price which amounts to a savings of about $25,000.

For Tesla Motors investors the question is will this move help achieve the company’s goal of 500,000 vehicles sold by 2020, of which 350,000 are forecast to be the more affordable Model 3 series which begins sales in 2017? Tesla reported sales of 10,030 vehicles in the first quarter of 2015.

With these numbers, they are going to need a lot of referrals.

By | Technology | No Comments

As the stock market teeters with historic losses, edgy investors and global economy concerns Goldman Sachs upgraded Google, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) to a Buy with a price target of $800. This would translate to 30% gains from the current stock price.

Goldman analyst Heather Bellini explained that the newly formed Alphabet operating structure will give Google greater transparency and the company intends to focus on cost control and greater profit margins. She also pointed to greater growth factors in the mobile arena and YouTube.

Just after noon today Google is up 3.37% at $601.88 a share. Google stock dropped nearly $80.00 per share, almost 12%, in the previous 4 trading sessions before the Goldman Sachs news.

Currently, most tech and internet stocks are showing gains including Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Facebook (FB) and IBM. Current losers in afternoon trading include Yahoo (YHOO) and Twitter (TWTR).

All eyes are on the last hour of trading for a possible repeat of Tuesday’s 500 point crash. Will the trading freeze system prevent another dramatic swing that some say are caused by automated high frequency trading platforms that overwhelm the markets with algorithm sell orders? We shall soon see.

Galena Biopharma, Inc. (GALE) Stock Watch

By | Pharmaceutical | No Comments

When Galena Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: GALE) stock gained nearly 60% in 2 weeks it certainly raised some eyebrows. So here at TKO we took a closer look at this small cap company for some answers.

A quick look at GALE financials certainly isn’t a reason to jump on the Galena Biopharma train if you’re looking for operational profits. With a quarterly cash burn of around $10 million and $52 million in cash, another round of financing is around the corner probably in middle to late 2016.

However, a peek at the GALE product pipeline is promising. Galena Biopharma focuses on developing and commercializing oncology therapeutics which are largely unmet in the cancer care market. This Investopedia article covers their products including Abstral, Zuplenz and their flagship breast cancer product NeuVax. The article also points to a glowing analyst report from Maxim Group as the reason for the recent GALE stock mini-meteoric rise. We surmise that the Maxim Group target price of $7.00 per share attracted the attention of day traders pushing volume well above averages.

Galena Biopharma, Inc. (GALE) is certainly a small cap pharma stock to watch. The success of Neuvax would make $1.50 a share a very shrewd investment, but commercialization is certainly years down the road giving investors plenty of opportunities to jump on board. GALE is currently selling at $1.87 per share above a 52-week low of $1.27 (May 8, 2015) and high hitting $3.36 a share back in July, 2014.
