Value Below the Radar is an annual investment conference that Instream Partners LLC will hold on Tuesday October 18, 2005 at the Park Hyatt in San Francisco. The conference is a forum for institutional investors in small and micro cap companies to meet candidates that exhibit the potential to significantly increase earnings, grow revenue and maintain long-term profitability.
This is a one day event and allows for 16 companies to present. The companies we select to present appear to be valued at a fair price to their growth potential. Companies are given the opportunity to make management presentations that discuss the operating strengths and financial attributes of the company.
Value Below the Radar is a useful outlet for companies to interact with interested financial information users, increase company awareness, gain institutional investor and analyst support and network with other investors and companies. At lunch our keynote speaker is Carmen Policy, former President of the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers.
Examples of how past presenting companies have benefited:
- Following the conferences, companies have experienced an increase in share price as well as an increase in institutional analyst coverage.
- After the first conference in April 2002, the companies that attended averaged a 42% increase in stock price during the first week.
- Six months later, the average stock price of the companies averaged a 19% increase from the conference date, trading at a premium of 13% to the S&P 500 and a premium of 8% to NASDAQ.
- Following a comparison between the stock prices in November 2003 and its current value, the companies that presented in November have experienced an average increase in stock price of 102%.
- Our past three conferences have shown an increase of anywhere from 10% to 200% in average trading volume during a 30-day time period proceeding the conference.
- We believe that six of the companies who presented at the 2002 and 2003 conferences picked up institutional research coverage by one or more analysts directly as a result of presenting at Value Below the Radar.
Testimonials:
