Cogent, Inc. (NASDAQ:COGT)

This met a high level screen to indicate a buy and strong outperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balnace sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
Testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadhseet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

It's WAY oversold -- they're struggling a bit and still returning 15-20% of EV in free cash flow. Great numbers stock, has good cushion and a lot of room to the upside if they can turn it around.

tech sector decently valued with high amounts of cash

Great Stock

Handles digital thumb printing which will become more important safety feature.

expecting MACD crossover and STO divergence

Biometrics driven security is better than traditional security. COGT is a leader here and I expect good things out of them.

I like cogent because it offers unlimited data stream to commercial customers and acts like a heavyweight. I also like it because it is considered a partner of the CISCO clan, and I expect cisco hardware to succeed even in poor buisness environments.

It has a five star caps rating.

It is a Solid Company that I believe that is very undervalued and it has a lot of room to grow.

Seems to be doing well...

This stock was picked by TMFBogey for the 2008 Stockpicking Contest.

Expect positive Q report.

Technology in the private and govt security sectors is an ever increasing demand. I feel that the leadership is good and the future for this co is good. It seems to me that a recent gap down in stock value has put it in a buy situation.

Top player in fingerprint automated identification. Growth industry in government and private sectors.

slow and steady wins the race

Best-in-class technology (fingerprinting)? Check. Riding a megatrend (security)? Check. Wildly misunderstood with a decent margin of safety and FUD swirling around to drive down the price on a lumpy earnings model? Check.

more and more place are requiring fingerprints for employment

undervalued, good buying point. no debt. Border patrol and national security/DHS will increase and produce its revenue over and over as long as terrorism is around the corner, which looks likely to be forever...
