From: richardred | 1/9/2017 10:14:40 AM | | | | New buy today. KEQU- KEWAUNEE SCIENTIFIC CORP COM. A company I knew about long ago, but never bought. Stumbled upon it this weekend digging for a new investment. The company currently has both positive technical aspects and fundamentals working for it. I like the current backlog moving forward. IMO The company's current PE is very reasonable. It leaves plenty of room moving forward for expansion. The company also has a moderate dividend.
P.S. I'll call the company . The Ethan Allen of Lab furniture. |

Genie Energy Launches Drilling Services Company in Israel BY PR Newswire — 9:15 AM ET 01/10/2017 NEWARK, N.J. and JERUSALEM, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genie Energy Ltd., announced today that it is establishing Atid Drilling Ltd., (Atid), an on-shore drilling services venture based in Israel. Atid will pursue drilling opportunities for clients in a variety of fields including oil and gas exploration, water resource development and mineral exploration.

Atid has executed a binding MOU to purchase a drilling rig and associated drilling equipment. The rig has successfully drilled five exploratory oil and gas wells in the Golan Heights over the past two years and recently completed a water well that is geared to help farmers in the Golan who are coping with an extended drought.
Atid anticipates partnering with international drilling services experts, including Rainmaker Ltd., a partnership of North American oil and gas drilling service providers based in Western Canada. Rainmaker specializes in the management and execution and completion of oil and gas drilling projects and its focus has expanded over the last four years to include exploration and development of water resources in several countries in the Middle East. The engineers and staff at Rainmaker draw from decades of project management experience and expertise to assist their clients' global operations.
Geoff Rochwarger, who will serve as Atid's CEO, said, "Atid will provide drilling services to meet the growing demand of clients in diverse industries in the region. We are excited by the market opportunity and have been encouraged by the enthusiasm with which prospective clients have greeted Atid's anticipated launch."
"Atid will bring together an experienced operations team, international partners who will provide additional technical expertise in the planning and execution of projects, and a high capability drilling rig based in Israel and equipped to operate at depths up to 2000 meters," Mr. Rochwarger concluded.
Atid is expected to spud its first exploration well in early March for Afek Oil and Gas, the Genie Energy subsidiary that is conducting an oil and gas exploratory program in the Golan Heights.

Xiwang Agrees to Acquire Canada’s Iovate Health for $730 Million by Vinicy Chan , Ruth David , and Kiel Porter June 13, 2016, 12:40 PM EDT Deal for supplement maker expected to close this year Iovate will keep headquarters and employees in place Xiwang Foodstuffs Company Ltd. has agreed to buy Canadian nutrition supplement maker Iovate Health Sciences International Inc., according to statements from both companies.
The deal values Iovate at $730 million, Xiwang said in a filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Monday. Xiwang outbid a number of other Chinese buyout firms that had made offers for the business, people familiar with the matter said earlier.
Chinese consumers’ demand for dietary supplements is rising as higher incomes, and problems such as obesity and diabetes, drive a desire for healthier lifestyles. Iovate owns fitness supplement brands MuscleTech and Six Star Pro Nutrition, and has partnerships with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., according to its website.
Iovate said it would keep its North American headquarters in Oakville, Canada, all key executives as well as 330 existing employees in place.
Houlihan Lokey Inc. acted as financial adviser to Iovate on the transaction, expected to close later this year. HSBC Holdings Plc advised Xiwang

To: richardred who wrote (4332) | 1/17/2017 12:23:54 PM | From: richardred | | | Added to HBIO today. Hedge funds have a sizable interest. The company has been unsuccessful in bringing about a higher stock currently, than a previous PE bid. URL below is why it's in 2017 Top Ten SITT list. IMO the company is more undervalued now than then. The company even trades at a greater discount from the stingy TO bid that was made in 2007. Reminds me of an old successful TO favorite NBSC . Eppendorf To Acquire New Brunswick Scientific For $110Mln [NBSC]. They say it's rare for lightning to strike twice in the same place. However IMO HBIO is holding a ROD.

From: richardred | 1/18/2017 12:39:51 PM | | | | New buy today upon the recent big drop- SNAK- INVENTURE FOODS INC It's been on my watch list since the company put itself under strategic review. The company is still loosing money and the CEO just left for Del Monte. IMO a perfect time for the in coming CEO to bring value to shareholders. A couple products I actually use. The Nathans Onion rings & The TGIF potato skins. After all Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. IMO the company made a corporate identity mistake when it changed it's Name to Inventure foods. This when going from regional branded company to National branded. FWIW I like the past Boulder Canyon acquisition name as a National corporate Brand name. All this while maintaining their more known regional brands.
PR snip in July> Company continuing to pursue value-enhancing initiatives as a standalone company, capital structure optimization, a sale of the Company, a sale of certain assets of the Company or other business combination.
P.S. I'm seeing the company as to small a player to compete with the big boys. Perhaps an old Favorite LNCE, might be ready for another acquisition? I can see Cape Cod chips fitting in quite nicely with Boulder Canyon and other regional brands. |
