TGE: Beat This Stock!
By Rich Duprey January 4, 2008
13 Recommendations
A football bowl game may have only one winner, but investing offers many roads toward profits. We don't need to find the "best" stock year after year to secure our financial future -- we just need to find really good stocks, really consistently. Now, the collective intelligence of our 80,000-plus Motley Fool CAPS investors makes that task easier than ever.

For every high-rated stock on CAPS -- like five-star-rated LCD-maker Corning (NYSE: GLW), which has been riding the wave of demand for flat-screen televisions -- there's an even better stock above it in the rankings. Just look for the "Beat This Stock!" button in the top right corner of each stock's CAPS page. Click that button enough times, and you'll climb the CAPS ladder toward the service's No. 1-ranked stock. Along the way, you'll gain a handful of stock ideas that might help you beat the market by an even wider margin than your favorite firm.

So who ranks better than Corning? Below are five stocks that ranked higher in the opinion of CAPS investors than the maker of screens for laptops, desktops, and TVs. CAPS is a dynamic service, so while these were the companies generated this morning, the list may be different for you:

This is obviously not a list of stocks to buy; instead, it should be a springboard for your own due diligence. Still, let's examine some of the reasons why CAPS investors think these companies' returns will beat Corning and the market alike.

A pox on both your houses
Viruses are usually detected through the body's production of antibodies, which is a lengthy process. When Edward Jenner produced the first smallpox vaccine in 1796, he started a whole new field of medicine -- and commerce. Today, smallpox is no longer a danger, thanks to mass immunization. But in most cases, doctors must still wait for the body to produce antibodies before virus detection or treatment can begin.

Viruses persist today, HIV among them, and improvements in detection are always being sought. One recently developed method -- called nucleic acid amplification testing, or NAT assays -- allows for improving the safety of the blood supply at hospitals. As its name suggests, it amplifies and detects the genetic makeup of a virus without having to wait for the body to produce antibodies.

Gen-Probe is primarily a manufacturer of clinical diagnostic products that test for sexually transmitted diseases, along with blood-screening products used to test for HIV using NAT assays. It derived 96% of its revenue from these products last quarter, while receiving nominal revenue from Novartis (NYSE: NVS) and others for collaborative R&D activities. Earnings per share rose 10% in the third quarter to $0.31 a diluted share on a 10% increase in revenue, handily beating analyst forecasts.

Almost 150 investors have rated Gen-Probe over at CAPS, with 97% of them thinking it will continue to outperform the market. Top-rated All-Star longshort87 sees its ability to commercialize its intellectual portfolio as a sign it will be successful in the long run. Here's his pitch from last November:

Impressive portfolio of intellectual property related to nucleic acid testing and a solid operating record of transferring that IP into commercially successful products with recurring revenue streams. Rich pipeline of future products, $6/share of cash, zero debt, mid-high teens organic revenue growth. Also potentially an attractive takeover target for a larger diagnostics firm (Roche? Abbott?).

Just beat it!
Is CAPS correct? These companies may rate higher than Corning, but will they actually top its performance going forward? Head to Motley Fool CAPS and share your opinion on your favorite stock to beat.

TGC Industries Reports Third Quarter 2006 Results
Monday October 23, 6:51 am ET
* Revenues and EBITDA Double
* Net Income Increases 64%


PLANO, Texas, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (Amex: TGE - News) today announced record third quarter 2006 net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, on record quarterly revenues of $18.0 million compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, on revenues of $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2005.
ADVERTISEMENT


Wayne Whitener, President and Chief Executive Officer of TGC Industries, stated, "Although third quarter revenues and EBITDA more than doubled and net income increased approximately 64 percent, net income was negatively affected by start-up costs for our eighth crew and one-time maintenance and repair costs incurred in bringing up to TGC standards the recently acquired shot hole drilling operation. During the third quarter, an unusually high 43 percent of revenues were derived from lower profit margin shot hole drilling contracts.

"Additionally, adverse weather conditions affected one of the crews, forcing it to use an alternative energy source, thereby requiring additional time to complete a substantial turnkey contract. Therefore, third quarter diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by approximately $0.05 per share. Excluding these costs, diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $0.14 for the quarter."

Third quarter revenues more than doubled to $18.0 million from last year's third quarter revenues of $8.0 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to the operation of seven field crews, five of which were utilizing ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems, during the third quarter of 2006 compared to four field crews in operation, with two using ARAM ARIES equipment, during most of the third quarter of 2005. Also, the continued improved productivity of the field crews due to the use of new and advanced equipment, such as GPS survey equipment and ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems, added to the strong revenue growth.

Income from operations during the third quarter of 2006 was negatively impacted by the expenses detailed above. Income before income taxes in the third quarter was $2.3 million compared to $1.3 million in the year ago third quarter. Net income for the third quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter doubled to $5.0 million, a 27.6 percent margin, from $2.3 million, a 29.4 percent margin, in the third quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2006 increased to $47.6 million from $20.9 million during the same period last year. Income from operations for the nine month period was $10.8 million, compared to $5.1 million in the same period a year ago. Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $6.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. EBITDA increased to $17.1 million, a 36.0 percent margin, during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $7.1 million, a 33.8 percent margin, for same period last year.

5 Top Stocks You Don't Know About
By Tim Hanson (TMF Mmbop)
September 16, 2006

Wall Street is covering fewer companies than ever before. As my colleague Brian Richards and I wrote here, fewer than 6,000 of the more than 10,000 publicly traded companies are covered by three or more analysts. That means that nearly 40% of the stocks on the market today -- 90% of them small caps -- can rightly be called underfollowed.

But this isn't a bad thing. In fact, it creates opportunity for individual investors like you and me. When you play where Wall Street doesn't, you're more likely to find a company that is undervalued relative to its prospects. See, the efficient market doesn't work when there aren't hundreds of opinions and thousands of shares changing hands each day.

A new way to know small caps
Don't get me wrong: This doesn't mean that small-cap investing is a path to easy money. Because the market isn't always efficient in this area, and because there is less information available about these companies, the downside here can be as harrowing as the upside is alluring. In-depth research is an absolute necessity if you want to be a successful small-cap investor -- and that's one of the reasons why we offer our Motley Fool Hidden Gems research service.

But I'm not here today to talk about Hidden Gems. I'm here to talk about a new and free database that has the potential to revolutionize small-cap investing. (My apologies in advance, by the way, if you find this self-promotional. Rest assured that the names of those five top stocks are coming.) That database is called Motley Fool CAPS, and while CAPS is still in beta-testing, it's already spitting out more information on small companies than has ever been available before.

So what are CAPS' favorite underfollowed small companies? Before I get to that, let me explain a little bit about how the system works.

The method to the madness
As a CAPS investor, all you're asked to do is to offer your opinion on whether a stock will outperform or underperform the S&P 500 over the time frame you specify. In turn, CAPS will rate you -- yes, you -- based on accuracy and total gains. In other words, you can now measure your investing acumen against thousands of others.

But that's not new. Here's where CAPS gets revolutionary.

After you rate a stock, and your neighbor rates the same stock, and both of your grandmothers rate that stock, the system then compiles your rankings with those of the rest of the community, and with the picks of any professional analysts we happen to be tracking in the system (Lehman Brothers, Piper Jaffray, and Jim Cramer among them). What happens next? CAPS rates the stock, of course. And with thousands of data points being entered daily, you can see why this system can produce more information on underfollowed stocks than ever before.

And now for those top stocks...
Without further ado, here are the names of the top five stocks in CAPS that are covered by three or fewer analysts. For fun's sake, I've also included the number of CAPS investors covering, the number of analysts covering, and the analyst sentiment.

*Data from Motley Fool CAPS and Thomson Financial.

TGC Industries Reports Record First Quarter 2006 Results
Monday April 24, 7:00 am ET
- Revenues increased 157%
- Income from operations tripled
- Diluted EPS more than doubled to $0.18


PLANO, Texas, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (Amex: TGE - News) today announced first quarter 2006 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, on revenues of $14.8 million compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, on revenues of $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2005. Shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2005 and 2006 have been increased by five percent to reflect the Five Percent Stock Dividend declared on March 31, 2006 to shareholders of record as of April 11, 2006 and payable on April 25, 2006.
ADVERTISEMENT


Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report another quarter of record operating results. Our strong revenue growth, driven by continued growing demand for our services, was due to the increase in the number of operating field crews to six for most of the first quarter and to the rising capacity utilization of those crews. We continue to add to our crews' efficiency and capacity levels by providing them with new state-of-the-art equipment. We believe we have sufficient backlog for all crews well into 2006."

FIRST QUARTER 2006

First quarter revenues increased 157 percent to $14.8 million compared to last year's first quarter revenues of $5.8 million. The revenue increase was due primarily to the availability and use of five field crews for the entire first quarter, with a sixth crew operating for two and a half months during the quarter, versus three field crews operating during the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, TGC experienced increased productivity derived from the use of three ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems during the entire first quarter of 2006, with a fourth system in use for two thirds of the quarter, versus one ARAM ARIES system in use during the first quarter a year ago.

Income from operations during the first quarter of 2006, which included start-up costs of the sixth crew, was $4.7 million compared to $1.5 million during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 53 percent of revenues this quarter from 60 percent of revenues for the first quarter of last year. Income before income taxes was $4.5 million compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. Income before income taxes as a percentage of revenue increased to 30.2 percent in the first quarter of this year from 24.9 percent during the first quarter of 2005, despite an increase in interest expense of approximately $163,000. The increase in interest expense in the quarter was due to the financing of three new ARAM ARIES systems and other equipment.

Net income for the first quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005, adjusted for the Five Percent Stock Dividend. The effective tax rate in the first quarter or 2006 was 38 percent compared to 25 percent in last year's first quarter.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter was $6.4 million, a 43 percent margin, compared to $2.0 million, a 34 percent margin, for the first quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

TGC Industries Reports Third Quarter Results
PR Newswire - October 31, 2005 06:00
* Revenues Increased 16% to Approximately $8 Million * Income Before Income Taxes Increased 24% to Approximately $1.3 Million


PLANO, Texas, Oct 31, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (Amex: TGE) today announced third quarter 2005 revenues of $7,986,647 compared to $6,872,740 for the third quarter of 2004. Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the 2005 third quarter was $820,629 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,037,664 for the same period of 2004 due to a higher income tax expense in the current year and the benefit from a net operating loss carry-forward in the comparable quarter a year ago. Pro forma net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock), equalizing income tax rates for both periods at 38 percent, increased 24 percent from $660,257, or $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2004, to $820,629, or $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of pro forma net income data (a non- GAAP financial measure) to actual income data can be found in the financial tables.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased 77 percent to $2,348,535 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1,329,433 for the same period of 2004. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues increased to 29.4 percent for the third quarter of 2005 from 19.3 percent for the same period of last year. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our continued strong operating performance. Our four field crews are operating at increasing levels of capacity, and we remain on track to add a fifth field crew in the very near future. Furthermore, our current backlog of business provides us with excellent visibility for the first half of 2006. In addition, we just successfully completed a 5.5 million share common stock offering that enabled us to retire all of our outstanding warrants and create a restructured balance sheet that provides us with increased financial flexibility. Simultaneously with the closing of the offering, all of the Company's 8.5% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into common stock, and the Company's only class of securities is common stock with 14,547,437 shares currently outstanding."

THIRD QUARTER 2005

Third quarter revenues of $7,986,647 increased 16 percent from last year's third quarter revenues of $6,872,740. The revenue increase was due primarily to the addition of a fourth crew to the Company's operations in late July versus three field crews during the third quarter of 2004, as well as increased productivity derived from the use of its second ARAM ARIES seismic recording system, which was put into service in July of 2005.

Income from operations during the third quarter of 2005, which included start-up costs of the new crew, increased 34 percent to $1,435,599 compared to $1,071,476 during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 64.3 percent of revenues this year from 76.3 percent of revenues last year. Income before income taxes increased 24 percent to $1,324,607 from $1,064,930 in the third quarter of 2004. Income before income taxes as a percentage of revenues increased from 15.5 percent during the third quarter of 2004 to 16.6 percent during the third quarter of this year, despite a $104,446 increase in interest expense and the aforementioned start-up costs. The increase in interest expense was due to higher debt levels associated with the purchase of the Company's two ARAM ARIES systems.

Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the 2005 third quarter was $820,629, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,037,664, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004. The company recorded income tax expense of $503,978 ($0.04 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2005, a 38 percent effective tax rate, compared to an immaterial amount of income tax expense in the third quarter of 2004 due to the benefit of a net operating loss carry-forward.

YEAR TO DATE 2005

Revenues for the first nine months of 2005 increased 43 percent to $20,934,371 from $14,626,809 during the same period last year. Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the first nine months of 2005 increased to $3,686,026 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $2,347,428 for the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2005 increased 50 percent to $0.30 from $0.20 during the same period in 2004. Income before income taxes more than doubled from $2,374,694 during the first nine months of 2004 to $4,943,256 this year. EBITDA increased 130 percent during the first nine months of 2005 to $7,073,279 from $3,080,308 during the same period last year.

(A) Adjustment required to achieve a 38% income tax rate (34% federal
and 4% state) during the period.

The Company anticipates that its net operating loss carry-forwards will be utilized during 2005 and that it will incur federal and state income taxes in 2005. Beginning in the third quarter 2005, the Company applied a 38 percent effective tax rate (34 percent federal rate and 4 percent state rate) to its income. Therefore, the Company has made pro forma adjustments to the earnings and earnings per share information for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 to reflect the 38 percent effective tax rate in order to provide investors with net income results that reflect the tax rate.

EBITDA $2,348,535 $1,329,433 $7,073,279 $3,080,308

The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus expenses of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess: (i) the financial performance of the Company's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis; (ii) the Company's liquidity and operating performance over time and in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes calculate EBITDA in a similar manner; and (iii) the ability of the Company's assets to generate cash sufficient to the Company to pay potential interest expenses.

The Company understands that investors use EBITDA to assess the Company's performance. However, EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). When assessing the Company's operating performance or the Company's liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
