Shuffle Master, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHFL)

yes

Free cash flow is outpacing Net Income by a significant margin. SHFL also has impressive CROIC, and a solid ROIC. The debt looks manageable (LT Debt to Equity is at 29.92%). Days Sales Outstanding are coming down, and I'm calculating Owner Earning Yield (Owner Earnings divided by Market Cap) at 10.5%. SHFL looks profitable, and cheap.

Casino supply.

An end of the recession may help this company.

SHFL

States are allowing table gaming every election.

Taxable bases are down in most states.

The state legislatures see Table Games as a cash cow.

Shufflemaster has the products required to support this expansion and modernization of these "TABLES".

I am sure the sales force at ShuffleMaster is up for the challange, I would enjoy a piece of that FAT cow myself!

In addition to its line of card shuffling machines, Shufflemaster is the leading manufacturer of "Virtual Dealer" Table Game machines. These products will be in demand in those jurisdictions that have taken the position that traditional table games (with a "live" croupier or dealer) are unacceptable, but those that can be equated or function like a VLT (video lottery terminal) are fine, will be prime customers of SHFL.

Comeback kids.

Shuffle Master is an established name in the gaming market. The growing overseas gaming industry should boost SHFL's market share.

A company that is always on my radar.

Transitioning to recurring revenue model, tough in the short term, cash money long term.

Stay away...these guys are in a patent infringement lawsuit with Bally.

Not to mention the fact that I don't believe casino gaming suppliers are necessarily poised for growth in the next year.

Good company with multiple types of revenue streams (although all within the gaming industry). I think that the stock has been beaten down too far. SHFL deserves some lumps for a bad acquisition and hit-and-miss execution, but the foundation for a strong company is there. I expect the stock to turn around and/or SHFL to be acquired in the next couple of years, but would buy & hold and be okay with either outcome.

Beaten down.
They are making their transition to the renting model.
Electronic Table games are growing.

Stock has declined more than 65% from 1 year ago, which places the company in an oversold position in my opinion. SmartMoney shows an Enterprise Value of $547 million, but market cap is only $318 million. Even a partial correction to the upside would yield solid returns. 'Nother note: SHFL earns its money from the gaming business, which isn't going away any time soon. Continued popularity of Texas Hold'em poker should help drive continued sales of the company's card shuffling equipment.

Shufflemaster is a good company, but it does not have what it takes to continue outperformance in the long run.

I believe Shuffle Master is perfect takeover candidate for IGT, Aristocrat, WMS Gaming, or one of the Slot Printer manufactures or even a manufacturer of gaming tables.

The price is Right for a takeover or a merger.

My bet is on IGT OR EVEN Atlantic City based

A.C. Coin and Slot. WHY NOT!!!
