It's main competitors are CostCo, Sam's Club, and Price Club. This industry continues to be in a growth phase that is expected to last at least 5 years. The Christmas Season is steadily arriving, and Cost-U-Less does extremely well during this season. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: Here is where Cost-U-Less looks the strongest: Total Sales have increased over 25% from the previous year, while the company continues to be extremely profitable. The main reason of the profitability is that same store sales have increased 6.1% while costs have remained stable. It is our estimation that 1999 earnings will increase more than 10% over 1998 earnings. This is significant due to the fact that Wal Street is expecting a modest 4.3% increase. Thus, the stock is largely undervalued. Another indicator that the stock is undervalued is the Price to Earnigs Ratio (P/E). In today's market, most growth companies have P/E ratio's ranging from 25-30. Cost-U-Less (CULS) has a very modest P/E ratio of only 11.08. Lastly, Net Income rose 95% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to second quarter of 1998. This clearly shows that the company is not only growing in terms of sales, but more importantly they are increasing their margins and profits dramatically.

This sales increase is primarily due to two new stores opened after third quarter 1998." "Net income was $753,000 in second quarter 1999 year-to-date, compared to $387,000 for the same period in 1998. This represents an increase of $365,000 or 95 percent over second quarter 1998 year-to-date. The Company plans to announce third quarter 1999 earnings on October 20, 1999." Final Analysis: This stock is Our SLEEPER stock of the week for obvious reasons. We give it a STRONG BUY Rating for both short term and long term investors. ******************************************************************* If you wish to be removed from our mailing list, please click here: http://3517712905 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
