Ikanos Communications, Inc. (IKAN)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a global provider of high-performance silicon and software for interactive broadband.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Everyone keeps talking about whether or not Ikanos is going to survive in a highly saturated market. You won't get that type of talk from me because personally I don't care what the rest of the broadband market is doing. My primary interest is how close Ikanos has come to intrinsic cash value.

company seems to be relying on the selling of a cheap fast upgrade option to countries with developing internet infrastructure. I do not think any poor country is going to install expensive landlines (recently checked Copper and Gold for example), when they are already getting wireless networks buil...More

Great positioning with carriers worldwide esp. Japan, Korea and Europe for VDSL chips. Will take off as deployment expands - has been slower than expected but designed in with many carriers. Strong balance sheet to await take-off and improving income statement metrics.

Everyone keeps talking about whether or not Ikanos is going to survive in a highly saturated market. You won't get that type of talk from me because personally I don't care what the rest of the broadband market is doing. My primary interest is how close Ikanos has come to intrinsic cash value. IKAN is trading at just $4.56 and maintains $2.85 per share in cash with no debt. The company has turned the corner to profitability again and should produce something on the order of 30-35 cents per share in earnings in 2009 for a forward price to earnings of roughly 13. How about 1.1 times book and 1.3 times sales with revenues increasing at a solid 18-28% per annum? How about a 44-45% gross margin rate? Once again, I'm not trying to catch the bottom, I'm just trying to get close.

Taking one more third of this best in class provider of triple play solutions. Must think overseas for the key drivers for this company. The US which is saturated with broadband through cable so it is not as easily grasped. A year plus of fixing mistakes, solidifying management, integrating an acquisition and new product introduction has finally begun to pay off for this turnaround story. Buyers at these prices are going to be very happy. Ikan in my country means "fish" so don't let this big fish get away. Outpreform

well positioned for growth in Asian (Korea and Japan), European and North American markets because of great need for internet infrastructure improvements due to increased use of multimedia via internet in households. Has some serious competition, but should take its share of business in this large market. Ikanos is very competitive with its technology offerings.
