The following are my own opinions and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
Do your own DD. Manage your own risk appropriately.
I've been putting together some analysis over the last few days looking at the stock from a fundamental, technical, and social analysis point of view.
I am normally a technical analysis trader and tend to ignore fundamentals unless I really study a company which is what I do with both PYR and HPQ. I only have so many cycles in a day and these are the only 2 companies I regularly spend several hours a day analyzing currently.
I read every press release, look at every model, and follow several chats on multiple sites for gauge sentiment.
I also, in the past, have failed big time to properly account for the amount of impact the social analysis has on a stock in this new market.
If I had only looked at technical analysis on these 2 companies I would have already sold at about $9.
But now factoring in all 3 forms of analysis, I am holding for a much higher stock price. ($30+)
Lets take a brief look at all 3 forms of analysis and discuss.
I welcome additional feedback and any corrections others may notice in the replies.
FUNDAMENTAL
In the recent week there have been several new Youtube videos that have popped up talking about PYR and I have watched most of them and virtually every single one only talks about how much the stock has gone up so far and how much farther it could go with a basic explanation of what the company does and why it may only be the beginning.
These videos fail misreably to really show the fundamental potential of the company but they do help get the word out and get more eyes on the company. To that end, they serve their purpose.
From a fundamental point of view the community here knows whats coming well and we know the potential opportunities in the pipeline.
Lets briefly discuss those, as well as some other fundamental metrics, and lay out few projections from a fundamental point of view only.
Some key fundamental points:
Fundamental points mentioned by others in passing chats that I believe are worth also mentioning. (These are not my comments but I agree with them. Credit and thanks given to names mentioned.):
@MidtownGuy The patent moat makes it even harder, as it locks in monopoly, making margins an ever tighter secret for Peter to protect. I had speculated months ago that any large contract will just be announced as a bulk order number — with sales AND service $ bundled in — that does not allow anyone to decipher individual torch cost so as to maintain the torch margin secret
@PakG1 I understand everything you're saying. BUT I would add the caveat that this is the beginning of multiple sunrise industry plays. Not sunset plays. Myself, I'd rather stay until we hit afternoon at the very earliest. But I'm gonna be here for the whole 24 hour cycle. The growth potential is just that strong. It may finally become a sunset company when I'm on my deathbed.
@developbc Looking at the recent Rise Energy of Sweden 900kw PYR plasma torch sale last year which sold for little over $1M for the same industry and purpose - replacing fossil fuel burners in the iron ore pelletization process w PYR torches w roughly the same spec. It was a competive bid process in which PYR bid their price w profit built in NOT for charity! So let's say it was low margin of 10-20% based on a $1M contract order/torch. Even IF added costs to custom spec out for Client A and the second Client B were increased by 10-20%...deductive reasoning can conclude that $3M torch sale carries approx 67% net profit margin at base minimum.
TECHNICAL
From a technical point of view, the stock is acting exactly the same as it did when it ran from 60c to $6 before pulling back to the $3.60 support where we did the raise.
Some key technical points:
SOCIAL
The amount of mentions of PYR on social media has increased exponentially in the last 6 weeks.
Some key social points:
Point number 7 cannot be overstated in my opinion as one of the largest social impacts on the stock.
In the past when I have sold stock in companies too early, my biggest mistake was not putting enough weight the social impact can have on a stocks price. I now add 50-100% to my target that is allocated to the additional effect the social media impact can have in the new market.
If my fundamental fair value analysis target is $1 on a stock for example, I add 0.50 - $1.00 more for the social impact on top of that to my target.
CONCLUSION
I have increased my personal target for the stock significantly over the last week after doing a deeper analysis from 3 points of view.
I welcome any additions, corrections, devils advocate advice, or comments.
I thank the Agoracom community for their contributions to this analysis and other communities as well.
