Investment From New U.S. Distributor / Targeting Australia
Fundamental Research Corp - Report Highlights:
- We maintain our BUY rating and fair value estimate of $1.90 per share.
- Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (“company”, “CSX”) announced last month that it entered into a distribution agreement with a Montana, U.S. based distributor of agricultural equipment to demonstrate and market the company’s CX-6 SMART Seeder.
- CSX and the U.S. distributor intend to finalize their distribution plans and set-up a demonstration program in the fall.
- In our initiating report in November 2016, we had mentioned that a distribution arrangement in the U.S. would be one of the key catalysts for CSX’s shares in 2017. Shares are up 26% since we initiated coverage.
- Made significant additions to its management team and advisory board since the beginning of the year, providing a strong signal to the market that management is gearing up for a strong 2017.
- Announced the closing of a $1.03 million financing by issuing 3.44 million shares at $0.30 per share. The new distributor and advisory board members were key subscribers.
- We believe Clean Seed’s technology will be highly attractive for M&A opportunities once sales ramp up and the market gets to see users’ feedback on the CX-6 Smart Seeder.
