ORLANDO, Fla., July 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedChip Companies, Inc., today announced it has issued a research profile on Legacy Education Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB:LEAI), a leading provider of educational training seminars, conferences and services.
Highlights of the report include:
Recently went public through a reverse merger; low valuation provides investors with a potential significant short-term profit opportunity. LEAI currently trades at only a 3.4x P/E and a 0.09x P/S multiple. LEAI currently trades at a discount of 81% to the median P/E and a discount of 92% to the median P/S. We believe that this discount is unwarranted and is occurring primarily because the Company recently went public through a reverse merger and is relatively unknown to investors. This provides a strong near-term profit opportunity as the stock trades closer to fair value. Longer-term growth is also on the horizon, given projected growth in new Company brands, international and online expansion, and the creation of entrepreneurial coursework.
Introduction of additional brands into the U.S. market (Independent Women, Women in Wealth, Brick Buy Brick) expected to grow and diversify U.S. revenue. The Company has introduced several new brands into the U.S. market, including The Independent Woman, Women in Wealth, and Brick Buy Brick, which we believe will grow U.S. revenue while diversifying the Company's revenue sources. In 2014, Rich Dad brands contributed 99% of U.S.-based revenue. However, in the U.K., brands are more diversified, with the Rich Dad Education brand contributing only 50% of U.K. revenue. Applying lessons learned in the U.K. market to the U.S. market should result in more diversified U.S. revenue streams over time. We believe that the female education market is a large untapped market with strong revenue potential. Additionally, the rebound in the real estate market will likely drive demand for real estate investing education.
Development of online courses expected to add significant revenue growth. Worldwide e-learning revenue reached $35.6 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow to $51.5 billion by 2016, representing a 7.6% CAGR. The Company rolled out its online portal in 2014, and we now expect online revenue to accelerate. Given the size of the online market and the success LEAI has already achieved with its in-person seminars and conferences, we believe that online courses could represent significant growth for LEAI over the next few years. Recently, LEAI launched its new social marketing program for the financial education space, which is the first of its kind in the industry. This should help accelerate online course sales.
