By Any Measure, Transport Stock APSI Is An Undervalued Opportunity

RazorPitch APSI

Aqua Power Systems, Inc. (OTC: APSI) recently acquired the fast-growing Tradition Transportation Group and checked all the boxes: Sales are anticipated to be full year 2022 in the range of $125 million with a net profit of $4.5 million. Full results will be announced next month. In 2021, Tradition reported revenue of $87,695,384 and a net profit of $2,986,945 In 2020, the company generated $49,992,274 and net income of $1,738,623 APSI moved from a shell OTC company to a bona fide asset-based transport/trucking firm with seven subsidiaries. APSI bought Tradition and all of its subsidiaries for $28,548,458.76. Up List Application To OTCQB Exchange Already Filed APSI has already filed an application with the SEC for an uplist to the OTCQB exchange. A NASDAQ listing is its ultimate goal. APSI has just 17,204,180 shares outstanding. Yet, it is trading at a market cap of only $5.6 million. By any measurement of revenue, net income, or assets, it deserves better. In fact, it should trade at well above $1 per share—and perhaps closer to $6-7 per share. The APSI market cap appears to be well undervalued as it currently stands. One valuation analysis vs.10 competing transportation public companies finds that the median enterprise LFY valuation in this sector is 1.6X revenues. That would translate into an APSI market cap of some $200 million, based on 2022 full year sales of $125 million. Average enterprise based on LFY is 3.2 times revenues — it means APSI would have a market cap of $400 million with share price of $23.25. Even a one time revenue share price at the estimated 2020 sales of $125 million would translate into $7.26 per share. “This has to be one of the most undervalued companies publicly listed today,” In terms of assets, Tradition Transport is a solid investment that delivers revenue, net income via a fleet of owned trucks/trailers and warehouses. Tradition Transport By Any Measure Deserves Higher Price Per Share The answer has to be that the transaction happened so recently — only late last year — that investors are still not aware of APSI. When it up lists, they will be. Investors should keep APSI on their Watch Lists because of the Company’s asset-based acquisition in the hot transport business — freight, logistics, warehousing, brokerage, leasing and more. Its assets include: six warehouses totaling two million sq. ft., four in Indianapolis and two in Georgia; a fleet of 162 company-owned tractors and some 303 trailers; plus Anthem Anchor Bolts & Fasteners, LLC, a subsidiary that manufactures bolts and fasteners and creates custom plates, cages and embeds APSI’s Tradition Transport Aggressively Planning For The Future Tim Evans, president and Director; Joseph Davis, COO of Tradition and also President, Treasurer and Director of acquiring firm APSI; and Robert Morris, CEO and Director of APSI, say APSI’s Tradition Transport is a high-tech firm with multiple revenue streams in the logistics, drayage, and warehousing/brokerage businesses. Tim Evans says, “We see opportunities everywhere.” Tradition is high-tech, multi-revenue, and diversified, with land, sea, and warehousing divisions plus brokerage and drayage all playing key roles as it grows. Why APSI's Entry Into Transport/Logistics Deserves Review By Investors Here’s how it is detailed in an APSI 8K filing: Technology includes the Samsara ‘to-the-second’ GPS tracking and smart geofencing visibility to improve router performance. SkyBlitz offers commercial telematics, tank monitoring and petroleum logistics. Tradition is converting to TMW for transportation management solutions. Camelot Software provides warehouse management systems. Tradition has a list of some 500 active customers. It serves a diversified base of industries such as building materials, automotive, manufacturing, containers and food. This broad spectrum gives Tradition a stable client footprint. Tradition's goal is to acquire another 200 plus tractors and some 400 trailers in 2023 and 2024. More deployment centers for Tradition are scheduled to open in Savannah, Nashville, Dallas and Indianapolis. New terminals are being planned for Dallas, the Southeastern US, and the Pacific Coast as Tradition seeks to increase its presence on the West Coast. To diversify its business, Tradition is seeking in the future to grow its manufacturing base. It is introducing U-bolt manufacturing while adding more diversification to its products. Tradition plans to grow both its brokerage and drayage businesses. These are among the fastest-growing segments of the Company. Brokerage revenue grew greater than 370% in 2021 vs 2020. Tim Davis calls it a ‘driving platform’ for the Company's future. A second brokerage office is under way. Drayage is also a vital growth area. Tradition is able to move freight, not just through trucks, but from drayage via unloading ships at a port, storing it in a nearby warehouse, then moving the freight by truck and also by rail. M&A is on the horizon. In addition to its organic growth structure, Joseph Davis says Tradition Transport is already reviewing future potential buyout candidates. “We’ve identified some acquisition targets. These are specialty businesses related to the ones we are already in.” In warehousing, an important profit area, Tradition operates six warehouses totaling some two million sq. ft. Joseph Davis stated the Company plans to add two-three more warehouses annually in the future — about one million sq, ft, more every year in the future. Tradition is planning to grow its international business. It already services freight to-and-from Mexico and Canada. In terms of international, trucks accounted for 66.1% of the surface trade between the US and Canada and 82.7% of surface trade between the US and Mexico in 2021, the American Trucking Association (ATA) reports. Trucking A $875.5 Billion Business The ATA finds that trucks moved more than 72% of all freight in the US by weight in 2021. It added that gross freight revenues from trucks amounted to $875.5 billion, or 80.8% of total revenue generated by the freight industry that year. A team with a combined experience of about 120 years runs Tradition's management. Managers plan for the future and can foresee the future needs of that industry. For example, Joe Davis predicted a stronger business in warehousing now as freight movement cools down. Press reports document his view. The Wall Street Journal reports that ocean shipping is now off 10% from China vs. Pandemic highs — a number that has declined three months in a row. As the logjam of some 100 sea vessels off the Port of Los Angeles has virtually disappeared, the need for more sophisticated logistics warehousing has grown within the US. Tradition is experienced in seeing the future of freight movement globally. CONCLUSION APSI stock is undervalued at industry sector multiples. Investors may want to put APSI on their watch lists as it grows. Right now, it is priced below market. By acquiring Tradition Transport and its subsidiaries, Aqua Power Systems, Inc. (OTC: APSI) moved from a shell company to a 2022 estimated $125 million sales and $4.5 million net income asset-based firm. It has filed an application to up list to the OTC QB exchange.

Indonesia Aims to be Top Participant in the Global EV Market

MarketJar

As the global clean energy transition continues onward at breakneck speed, countries with battery metal reserves look to corner the rising market. Chile may take the cake for largest lithium supplier, but Indonesia is leading the race in the supply of nickel, a key metal in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Now the Southeast Asian country is looking to become a top participant in the global EV market. In fact, nickel companies are driving a record year for public listings in Indonesia with bankers anticipating up to $4 billion in issuance in 2023. 1 Indonesia is already Asia’s second-busiest IPO market this year, in terms of both deal value and number of listings, after China. Bankers anticipate up to $4 billion in issuance in 2023. 2 President Joko Widodo has prohibited the export of raw nickel to encourage more battery manufacturers to build domestic processing plants. The practice, known as downstreaming, has contributed to an increase in the value of the country's nickel product exports to almost $30 billion in 2022, more than 10 times what they were a decade ago. 3 As a result, a whole supply chain for EVs is growing. LG Energy Solution is constructing a $1.1 billion battery cell plant, while Hyundai launched its first Southeast Asian plant to assemble EVs last year. China’s CATL has also invested in the industry and the government is courting Tesla and BYD. In the last three years alone Indonesia has signed over a dozen deals worth over $15 billion for battery materials and EV production with global manufacturers like LG, Hyundai, and Foxconn. Now, the public listings of nickel companies couldl put international investor interest in Widodo's agenda to the test, despite the fact that Indonesia is still viewed as a weak emerging market with volatile shares. Regardless of whether nickel supply comes from Indonesia or other countries, demand is expected to continue rising. Brazilian mining giant Vale sees global demand increasing by 44% by 2030, 4 while BHP predicts it will rise fourfold by 2050 due to EV demand. 5 The Oregon Group Predicts a 5-year Supply Crunch for Battery Nickel According to a new report, the availability of Class I nickel, which is required for EV batteries, is projected to be limited for the next three to five years. Despite increased output by Chinese nickel giant Tsingshan, The Oregon Group believes that the nickel market will remain constrained. The Oregon Group is widely seen as an expert in the financial industry. This investment firm was started by Anthony Milewski and Justin Cochrane, who are both independent experts in the capital markets. Milewski has been a consultant, a founder, and an investor in the mining business. Milewski and The Oregon Group think that a lot of money should be put into projects all over the world that use nickel. The report, called The Green Economy and Nickel's Generational Class I Supply Crunch, investigates major trends influencing the expansion of Class I nickel supply and demand. Geopolitical concerns, as well as the impending collision between the drive to decarbonize supply chains and the high emissions of new and near-term nickel production, are among them. Here are some of the most important things the report talks about: The battery business is growing so fast that everyone is looking at Class I nickel supplies. Forecasts from analysts vary, but most agree that growth will be exponential. Wood Mackenzie says that batteries used 7% of all nickel in 2021, but that number will rise to 40% by 2040. This will cause the worldwide demand for nickel to double. This projection, on the other hand, doesn't take into account the problems that come up when Class II nickel is refined into Class I nickel. In other words, there is still a Class I nickel supply bottleneck on the market. The only questions are how bad it is and how long it will last. China was the leader in the supply chains for battery metals and rare earths for many years, but it didn't have much competition. State-backed businesses could invest, work together, and form partnerships as they saw fit to get the resources they needed while preventing competitors from doing the same. The West is finally waking up at the last minute. As it does this, investment opportunities that were once just a guess are beginning to take shape. Carbon border taxes, growing consumer dissatisfaction with products made from "bad" metals, and other things seem to be making it so that Chinese-controlled nickel is losing some of its price advantages. But for that to make a difference, the West needs new sources of supply that meet certain requirements. The good news is... It has huge untapped resources right in its own backyard. There's just one problem. Around 60% of the nickel that is made today is in the form of ferronickel, which is nickel that contains between 2% and 75% iron and can't be used directly in batteries because it is too expensive and bad for the environment. Simple froth flotation, which has been used in mining for more than 100 years, is a faster, easier, and cleaner way to process sulfide ores of any grade. The Oregon Group argues that ignoring sulfide resources that are thought to be "poor grade" may soon no longer be possible in a world that wants battery-grade nickel products but doesn't have many places to get them. This is because the demand for battery-grade nickel is expected to grow exponentially in the long run, but there aren't many places to get it now. This report gives a detailed look at the nickel market, the major trends that will affect it over the next ten years, and how the supply and demand of nickel will change. It also has a full list of companies that look for and develop nickel as well as a few nickel ETFs. The Class I nickel deficit won't go away any time soon, so prices will continue to go up for a while. Now is a good time to think about getting into the nickel market if you haven't already.

WARPSPEED TAXI INC.

McapMediaWire -- WarpSpeed Taxi Inc. (OTC: WRPT ) (“WarpSpeed” or the “Company”), announces that the Company has prepared a Business Plan for its proposed establishment of PinnacleDSB distribution centers in rural areas around the world.

Once our first distribution center is up and running, it will be very easy to replicate and open more locations very quickly.” About WarpSpeed Taxi WarpSpeed Taxi Inc. has developed a ride-hailing and food delivery computer and mobile device application known as “WarpSpeedTaxi USA” that will provide consumers with convenient door-to-door transport that leverages smart mobility platforms to connect drivers with passengers and lets drivers use their personal vehicles For more information, go to: http://www.warpspeedtaxi.com Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Naples, FL Shares Growth Strategies, Overcomes Hurricane Ian

Minuteman Press International Inc

David Ogden purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in Naples, Florida, in January 2021. In the two years since the purchase, David has successfully grown the business by expanding high-demand products and services as well as the key acquisition of independent printing business Sunbelt Printing in September 2022. David says, “The resulting sales growth in business after bringing Minuteman Press and Sunbelt Printing together is over 400% year-over-year.” Around the same time as the acquisition and planned relocation to a new 4,100 sq. ft. facility, Hurricane Ian hit Florida on September 28, 2022. David shares, “What an experience. I purchased Sunbelt Printing and found a new building to move into. The movers were scheduled to get us moved on September 28, 2022. It turns out it was the same day Hurricane Ian hit the Naples/Ft. Meyers area. Needless to say, the move was postponed, and all of our original planning was out the window. Finding contractors to get the electricity where we needed it and all the other moving parts involved had to be reorganized and rescheduled.” David continues, “We did it, and it took more time and patience than I expected, but we finally succeeded and are now in our 4,100-square-foot facility. We have grown really fast since the move and the acquisition, so it’s a good thing we were able to overcome Hurricane Ian and complete the move.” Today, Minuteman Press in Naples is located at 771 Airport Rd. N., Units 4 & 5, Naples, FL 34104. Journey from Cairo, Egypt to Naples, FL David Ogden first moved to Naples in 2013. He shares, “I owned a printing company in Cairo, Egypt, while my family and I lived there. When we left in 2013 and moved to Naples, I still owned the printing company in Egypt, and my brother-in-law took over day-to-day management. Today, I own Minuteman Press in Naples as well as two other companies not in the printing industry.” As someone with experience in the printing industry and as a business owner, David explains why he chose to join the Minuteman Press franchise family: “I chose Minuteman for several reasons. First, it was an existing franchise and a ‘fixer-upper.’ I also liked the company's history, the clear and present franchise support, and of course, their capped royalty structure. Finally, I knew from the day I started the training program for new owners with Mike Jutt and Pete Taglino that I had made the right decision and Minuteman Press was the right franchise brand for me.” David continues, “I did my homework before buying Minuteman Press in Naples, and I talked to many existing owners. All of them agreed the support received from Minuteman Press International was outstanding. After purchasing the business and when the paper supply chain issues occurred, it shook me at first. But then I had a great conversation with our Regional VP Larry Trimble, who helped put it in perspective and provided guidance. From that day forward, I have taken the ‘failure is not an option’ approach, and it has worked out great. I have fantastic support from our regional rep Mark Geller, and Larry Trimble. They are part of our team, know my business well, and are part of our success.” 3 Keys to Growing the Business David highlights the following three key ways he has grown the business over the past two years: Providing high-demand products and services, including direct mail. “ We have a large direct mail customer that does 6-10K pieces of first-class mail per day with us. We also have many smaller customers that do various-size mailings and Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcards. Mailing is about 20% of our business and a fast growth area, and so we are investing in direct mail even further with new equipment.” Listening to clients and meeting their needs. “I make time to meet and talk to customers at our front desk. I always ask new customers, ‘What other kind of printing do you use?’ About 70% of the time, I discover new potential business. For example, our very large direct mail customer came from asking that one simple question, which added $30K per month in new revenue.” Learning from other owners by attending the Minuteman Press World Expo. “I learned a great deal at the Minuteman Press World Expo last year and took those ideas back to my team. As a result, we have increased a lot of central facility work, which has benefited our business's overall mix. One of the best takeaways from the Expo was the President’s Million-Dollar Owners panel, where successful owners from all across Minuteman Press answer questions from other franchisees. I sat and listened to every one of them talking about buying independent printers and merging them into their own businesses. I decided then and there to go home and buy another printer. Six weeks later, I purchased Sunbelt Printing.” Acquisition of Sunbelt Printing The acquisition of Sunbelt Printing certainly proved to be a huge boost for Minuteman Press in Naples. David shares, “Minuteman Press sends out regular mailings to independent printers asking them if they have a plan to retire or have an exit strategy, and they explain the benefits of selling their business with the help of Minuteman Press International. The owner of Sunbelt Printing was looking to sell and was ready to retire. After many meetings with that owner and weeks of negotiating, I bought Sunbelt Printing and merged that business into my existing business. Both were about equal in revenue per month at the time of the merger, and as I said previously, the resulting growth in business after bringing the two together is over 400% year-over-year.” David continues, “Our regional rep Mark Geller helped coordinate and execute the merger of the two businesses. He also helped us with specialty contractors to get equipment like large cutters moved and re-installed. In addition, Mark regularly helps me train new employees.” What’s next for David Ogden and Minuteman Press in Naples? David answers, “We are excited to keep serving our clients with high quality printing, marketing, and mailing services. I love building relationships with our customers and look forward to continuing to grow together. I’m also in talks with another independent printer about buying their business. We will see where that leads us.” Minuteman Press in Naples is located at 771 Airport Rd. N., Units 4 & 5, Naples, FL 34104.
