Well I may regret this one as it is a bit risky. They specialize in nano-materials, specifically they do a good business in nano-additives to paint. They had bad earnings due to housing market, but I think in the long run this is a good buying opportunity. I like the long term support here and I bought some today for my personal account at around $5.40. I would probably sell if it fills the gap up to $6.50 in the next 6 months (about %20 gain).

In a sector that should pay off. Nanotech is poised to do great things. Not sure that this is the horse but helps to spread my bets.

Braced for earnings, after many years of languishing in mediocrity. This is a company on the rise, although it is one of the more boring "nano" companies. Earnings report on the 22nd.

Weak management. Small market. Limited penetration. Very small sales footprint.

TRANSFORMING THE BOUNDRIES OF PERFORMANCE, this phrase goes very well with Nanophase Technologies. The company is a industry-leading developer and commercial manufacturer of nanomaterials. Nanophase produces engineered nanomaterial products for a variety of diverse markets: personal care, sunscreens, abrasion-resistant applications, environmental catalysts, antimicrobial products, and a variety of ultra-fine polishing applications, including semiconductor wafers, hard disk drives, and optics.

The company has two distinct and patented processes with a focus on nanotechnology for the preparation and commercial manufacturing of nanopowder metal oxides. The company has developed a process, Discrete Particle Encapsulation, to coat the surface of its nanoparticles with a thin polymeric shell that enables compatibility of the particles with a wide variety of fluids, resins and polymers. Its products are available as nanoparticles, surface-treated nanoparticles and stable nanoparticle dispersions in aqueous or organic media, providing customers with nanomaterials in readily usable forms.

The company recently reported all time high revenues in the third quarter of 2006 with a significant growth in the gross margins, primarily due to favorable product mix. Additionally, because of the cost controls in the selling, general and administrative expenses the company reported the smallest operating loss ever. This shows that the company is heading towards a right direction with revenue growths and cost cutting that will ultimately increase the cash flows and meet the break-even point very soon.

Looking at the company’s business model, which revolves around its strategic partnerships with companies like BASF and Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, a strong order book is maintained envisaging no concern for business in the future. The company has research and development and manufacturing facilities, allowing it to develop and supply nanomaterials ranging from grams to metric tons. Additionally due to its modular processes and state-of-art infrastructure there is ample room for expansion and the company is eying a 100% revenue growth with minimal additional cost.

NANX is ramping sales with Behr, the brand sold by HD.
Behr paint has tested very well in Consumer Reports tests.
