Organic growth strategy includes in-house sales and marketing in combination with referrals from small-bank partnerships

Reasons why I like it: 

• Undiscovered fintech play that is in a hot sector.

• Stable, growing SaaS revenue

• Currently Cash Flow Positive 

• Forecasted EPS Positive Q4 2021 

• Estimated 30% growth in organic growth in 2021. 

• High Insider ownership 

• Explosive upside with low float

• Entered Cryptocurrency market with allowing merchants to accept them as payments. 

 Catalysts: 

1) Expansion Internationally. In negotiations with a potential European partner to distribute and sell their software.  

2) New Aquistions to accelerate growth - reported that they plan to do at least one in Q1/2021.

3) New Applications and services to fuel organic growth with its existing customers. 

4) Positive Q4 earnings. 

• In the Q&A interview in 0ctober 13, 2020 the company noted that they expect 10M revenue for 2020. This would lead to approximately 3-3.1M in revenue in Q4 and growth of ~30% Q/Q.

Valuation and upside potential: 

The stock is currently trading 7.6x ttm sales. With the FinTech industry average of approximately 10x. High growth companies in the space trade well above that. See $FTFT, it trades almost 800x P/S and stable megacap stocks, Square and PayPal trade 16x sales. 

With the company forcasted to reach at least 13M in revenue and EPS positive in 2021, I can see this trading easily 10-15x sales by the end of the year. That would equate to 130-195M market cap, or $21-31 per share. Thats 2.5-3.7X current price in less than 12 months.
