Q: what do you about this company and is it a buy?
5i Research Answer:
NCI was just a 12 cent stock less than a year ago, and with an 800% one-year gain now has a market cap of $51M. Insiders own 31%. It is profitable and has a decent revenue base. No analysts cover it. It is essentially a consultant to the telecommunications industry. News has been very sparse, but it did announce a $6M financing this month. The stock, now $1.35, was more than $3/share more than a decade ago. It has not made shareholders much money until this year. We did not follow it closely as it was so small. We would still consider it very risky. Trading is tightly controlled and it only recently became profitable.
