NEWS - Dutton Associates Announces Investment Opinion: Pro Travel Network Strong Speculative Buy Rating In Update Coverage By Dutton Associates

posted on Jun 06, 08 09:45AM
ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dutton Associates updates its coverage of Pro Travel Network (OTCBB:PTVL - News) maintaining a Speculative Buy rating and a price target of $2.00. The report by Dutton senior analyst Richard West, CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Knobias, Reuters, and other leading financial portals.

Pro Travel is a young, Internet-based provider of online travel stores for travel agencies and home-based representatives using its services and technology. Pro Travel currently supports more than 15,000 independent travel agents and 6,000 independent representatives throughout North America. Pro Travel has established strong relationships with travel providers for cruises, air travel, hotels, and auto rentals. Evidence of the strength of these relationships is seen in Pro Travels increasing the number of cruises booked with Carnival Cruise Lines by over 91% since 2007. Pro Travels revenue continues to increase on a comparable quarterly basis; total revenue for nine months ended March 31, 2008, increased 139.2% to $6.8 million from $2.8 million for nine months ended March 31, 2007. Through the last seven quarters, Pro Travels revenue has been over $2.0 million for each quarter. Pro Travel broke into the profit column in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008. It is nearing completion in the expansion of its operations in Canada. Their balance sheet is clean and strong with no long-term debt and a current ratio over 2 to 1. In view of the most positive operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, and the relatively low valuation of Pro Travel, we are reiterating our rating of Strong Speculative Buy and maintain our $2.00 per share price target.
