Stock Pick 12/24/2007: EPAX
For today's pick, it's Ambassadors Group (EPAX)! This company is closely connected to Ambassadors International (AMIE). However, EPAX is a really good stock whereas AMIE looks pretty bad. EPAX is a company in the travel industry, catering specifically to education (such as foreign exchange students and students studying abroad). Based on the fundamentals, this is a good pick. The usual key elements apply: a gross margin of 98% with a profit margin of 29%, return on equity of 31.9%, an average price ratio of 6.87, price swing potential between 2 and 3 (from $17.72 current to a 52-week high of $41.08), market capitalization less than $1B and a 2.6% annual dividend. All these numbers are indicative of a successful operation and the potential for value gains. 2007-12-25 04:45:08 GMT
