ADPI Settlement Provides Day Trading and Value Opportunity
Friday, December 28th, 2007ADPI made a huge 84% move today on news of there settlement in which got the uglyness out of the way and price action on the rebound from its huge recent sell off.
Let me quote Elizabeth Trotta from thestreet.com
“American Dental Partners (ADPI - Cramer’s Take - Stockpickr - Rating) shares soared Thursday after the company, which provides business services to dental group practices, settled with PDG, a doctor group affiliated with PDHC, one of the company’s Minnesota subsidiaries.On Dec. 12, a U.S. jury found American Dental Partners liable for compensatory damages of $88.29 million for breach of service agreement, and on Dec. 13, also awarded PDG punitive damages of $42.25 million for interference with contract and prospective advantage.
Under the settlement announced Thursday, American Dental Partners agreed to transfer leases and associated assets related to 25 of 31 Park Dental facilities to the doctor group and to forgive $3 million in outstanding accounts receivable. American Dental Partners will also provide interim management services to PDG for up to nine months, for which the doctor group will pay the company a management fee of $19 million.”
Fundamentally this stock is depressed in value with a low forward PE of just 8.5 entailing a fair future value around $24/share. Analysts median estimate is $21/share.
Here an illustration of the possible short term day trade setup as this stock should be quite volatile in either direction tomorrow.
