Broker Forecasts:

Waterlogic upgraded by Liberum

07th April 2014, 10:58

Liberum Capital has upgraded its recommendation on Waterlogic [LON:WTL] to 'buy' from 'hold' after today's full-year results highlighted a 2 per cent earnings per share beat and on the back of the recent share price underperformance.

The broker reckons the results go some way to demonstrate the progress made by the water cooler distributor in both its Commercial and Consumer divisions and also noted that the company has made a decent start to 2014.

"A period of forecast delivery and notable share price underperformance prompts us to upgrade to BUY," analysts said in a note to investors.

"Waterlogic trades at a notable discount to peers."

The shares are down 14 per cent in the last three months and are down 30 per cent over the past six months.

Waterlogic tapping a huge market
By Ian Lyall

The market can be an unforgiving place when expectations are dashed – though often the punishment can be disproportionate to the crime.
For investors, this presents an opportunity; a chance to get into a growth stock well below its real valuation.
Waterlogic (LON:WTL), the maker, installer and vendor of mains-fed water coolers, has felt first-hand the wrath of investors.

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Profits flow at Waterlogic as water purifiers blast bugsBy Joanne Hart

Waterlogic has pioneered a way to make tap water free from germs. Its unique process works all over the world, even in countries where tap water is normally dangerous to drink.

The company listed on the Alternative Investment Market last July and brokers believe profits will soar over the next three years, making the shares worth a look.

Traditional water coolers – free-standing machines with large bottles of water upended on top of them – are a feature of offices, hospitals, shopping malls and leisure centres.

Fresh idea: Waterlogic is in talks with fridge makers over using its technology
Recently, however, dispensers that filter water directly from the mains have been developed. These point-of-use machines have numerous advantages over bottled water coolers so the market is growing fast and Waterlogic is a recognised leader in the field.
Customers include Google, the Bank of England and Network Rail. Even Chancellor George Osborne has one at 11 Downing Street. In Europe and America there are about two million point-of-use dispensers, about a quarter of which have been sold by Waterlogic.

The company is best known in the US, Scandinavia, Germany and France but it sells dispensers worldwide. Companies – and politicians – are attracted to point-of-use dispensers for various reasons.

First, large firms can save thousands of pounds a year by switching to this type of unit because there is no need to keep buying replacement bottles. Second, they are more environmentally sound because there is no need to transport the bottles.

They even reduce security risks because unknown workers are not regularly lugging bottles in and out of offices. Waterlogic prides itself on making top-of-the-range dispensers that are attractive and reliable.

Now it has created a way of making water germ-free, using ultraviolet light to kill 99.9999 per cent of micro-organisms. The process has been approved by the international trade body, the Water Quality Association, and it is so effective it is even said to make water from the Ganges drinkable.
Known as Firewall, the UV light treats the water at the point at which it is dispensed, and silver technology helps to keep the spout germ-free. Firewall products are already being used in offices. Now Waterlogic is hoping to roll out the technology to homes.

The company has designed a selection of domestic products, ranging from toaster-size machines that sit on kitchen worktops to an extra tap that fits over the kitchen sink, dispensing cold water, piping hot water and sparkling water.

The group has already signed a contract with one leading company to produce these gadgets on a large scale and it is in talks with several others, including a number of fridge makers. Many top fridges have water dispensers that produce filtered water.

But if filters are not changed regularly, bacteria build up within them, so they dispense germs. Similarly, water that sits in the fridge in jugs after filtration becomes more susceptible to microbes than tap water because the chlorine has been removed.

Waterlogic's Firewall system removes all germs. The technology is expected to be especially popular in the US, where many drinking water pipes are both extremely old and often laid next to sewers.

If corrosion occurs, there can be leakage from one pipe to another and whole areas of the country are sometimes told they need to boil water before drinking it while pipes are repaired.

In the first half of last year, this happened more than 500 times, often lasting for at least a week and sometimes much longer. If homeowners had Firewall technology installed, they could continue to drink the water in the knowledge that it would be safe to consume.

Clearly there is huge potential in emerging markets too and Waterlogic chief executive Jeremy Ben David is talking to potential partners around the world.
The group reports in dollars because America is its biggest market and last year it made profits of $6.8million (£4.2million). This year, they are forecast to double to $13.7million and by 2014, $30.3million is expected.

Midas verdict: Waterlogic is at an interesting stage. Its technology has been approved by international bodies and it is in talks with leading companies worldwide. Investors do not yet know the precise nature of the agreements Waterlogic will reach, but Ben David is a shrewd operator and he owns 25 per cent of the shares, so he is deeply committed to the firm's success. Waterlogic has a unique product and the outlook is bright. The shares are trading at 1771⁄2p and should rise. Buy

Well perhaps you need to be re-assessing your investment strategy if you have significant losses in this market.

I know Shanklin and I have hit new highs this week, and several of the investors I mix with are at a high or near it.

Things like WTL are what punters shun short term because they are after the 5 min fix, the sort that have to see their port at a new high.

"Softly softly Catchie Monkey" is actually the phrase I think but slowly slowly is very apt. I think if you can switch your mind set into ignoring what the short termers think and do and concentrate on the underlying performance and how investors will respond short term in 3 months time, you might do much better.

But each to their own - good luck anyway.

Just for 5 minutes, foreget there were any broker forecasts here

WTL do 5p eps last year, they put out an RNS last week saying profits will be signigcantly ahead of last year by at least 40% Tomorrow morning a broker puts out a note saying that they expect 10.3 eps for the year ahead.

I bet if that was the way events had panned out here, and the co never mentioned the IT problems at Coolectric then these would have been bought up to over £1 next week.

The fact that forecast earnings growth was humongous and now it will only be huge dosent mean these deserved to be sold off imo. Investment is about psychology. If WTL had been priced to perfection before this week then a sell off would have been justified but when the price never reflected anything like the value in the first place the sell off is crazy imo.

MM's have to react but here they over reacted imo. Some small investors just sell without thinking. If these had oped down 20 or up 10 they would have sold imo.

Personally, as the results approach and we already know what the results will be like I think there will be buyers. And when the results come out and a whole lot of fresh investors see the eps and the forecast with this issue behind them they will buy then too imo.

Probably one of the best opportunities to buy compound 40% earnings growth on a fwd PE below 8 we'll ever see, backed by a 3.5+% yield imo.

yep HH, I've noticed that I and several others seek out the same type of shares - nurdin, rivaldo, dorQ, diogenes and I all invest in a similar way.

I tend to find something that looks interesting and buy small to start with. As I do more research and become more familiar with a company and more confident of them I buy more.

Nearly 65% of the shares here are held by directors. Another 5% held by a fund and there might be several other small fund holdings of 1-3% that don't show on the holders list along with private long term holders having stakes lik that too. All that means the gree float here may be 10% of the total shares - little wonder it moves abouyt on small trades.

I think many don't grasp what illiquidity in these small caps does to the share price. In something like WTL if there is a larger seller around when joe average wants to sell 2500 the price might tick down. On the other hand if there are no sellers about and someone buys 2500 the price moves up. A few trades running one way or another can hit or invigorate the price. If punters can't live with a bit of standard volatility then this isn't the stock for them and many small caps are not for them either imo. If every dip they think there's a profit warning around the corner then they are never going to have meaningful holdings in any small cap stock. Since last October I've seen this rise and fall several times and there has been no warning. What a lot of punters haven't had is the cuddly newsflow that reassures many of the nervous investors.


That may not be irrational - I think it is perfectly normal human behaviour but good investing requires a different psychology. It's easy to think the crowd are right and very often they are. In large caps a falling or rising share price suggests the market knows something more often than not. But in small caps, where a single buy or sell can move the price and trigger one or two other buyers or seller it's easy to think that the market knows something when really it's two-three ordinary investors moving the price with small trades. Small punters are more powerful than they realise quite often.

Some of the best buys I've ever had have behaved like this to start with until the stock got wider coverage and appreciation. That's what we have here imo, too many letting a chart rule their decission rather than fundamentals and research when they stock is so illiquid the chart is of no use.

CR (or is it RR now ;-)

Fair enough, perhaps there is a seller, it's hard to know for sure, but as you've owned WTL for a while, you've probably studied the buys and sells for a longer period of time, so I wont argue the point.

I certainly don't disagree that WTL look cheap...that's why they're in my mon list. I'll keep watching. The situation should clarify itself soon enough. In the meantime if WTL disappear north into the distance before I buy, ah well, c'est la vie.

Furthermore, I most certainly agree that the length of time spent investing does not necessarily a good investor make. I think the vast majority of investors I've observed on this site over the years tend to make the same mistakes over & over again.
There are only a handful of investors on this site that regularly make smart investing decisions and, fairly often, they tend to end up in the same shares.
The reason I know about you, dorq, WJ, rivaldo, nurdin, Diogenes, Liarspoker and a few others is because I've lost count of the times we've bought the same shares.

Good luck.

dorq (if I may be so bold to refer to you thus ;-)

I notice we posted at the same time and I think, had you seen my post 70 before you posted you'd probably have been reassured that I had no ulterior motives.

It could indeed be nothing more that one big sell & a jittery market, or, as I suggested, maybe the MMs knew about the tip.

Yes, it's been a tad stressful this week! Under the circumstances, perhaps I should have kept quiet.

In truth, I was merely providing a counterpoint to CR's posts suggesting people should buy now. I respect CR, he's an excellent investor, but, as well as his undoubted stock picking skills he does have a touch of the ruthless ramper about him (sorry CR, but you do). He rarely points out the risks if he owns a share and he tends to dismiss people who may point out legitimate concerns. This irks me sometimes (although, until today, I've bitten my tongue), because he's well aware of his influence amongst other investors, but I do respect his stock picking skills....and, anyway, more fool them if they don't do their own reserach and just buy what he buys.

....and I respect your stock picking skills too, dorq. I know you to be an excellent investor too.

I don't post much, but I've been a full time investor for a decade, I've been on AFN since it began and I see EVERYTHING. I'm a keen observor of human nature. I know all the best investors (and their character traits) and I've owned practically ALL of the shares you guys have at one time or another.

I wish you, CR & all the WTL investors the best of luck.
