Intrusion (INTZ)

Posted on by

Intrusion is a US company specialized in cyber-protection. It provides various softwares related to entity identification, data mining, cyber-crime prevention and advanced persistent threat detection. Its clients are the US government (federal + locals entities), banks, credit unions and other financial institutions, hospitals and other healthcare providers, and many more.

The company was founded in 1995 and is located in Texas, it currently has 32 employees.

Financial ratios :

  • Market Capitalization (USD) = 71M
  • Price to Book = 49.42
  • PER = 28.00
  • EV/EBITDA = 21.32
  • Growth rate Year over Year = 33%
  • Debt to Equity = 50

So we have a growth rate > PER (like Peter Lynch likes) with a decent debt to equity ratio.

Pros and cons

  • Pro : Revenue growth rate and EPS.
  • Pro : Industry. Ransomware and hacking have become more frequent over the last years affecting hospitals and big companies. The market should become bigger and bigger.
  • Con : Valuation is high and the growth needs to keep up with the years. Q1 was impacted by covid with a decrease in revenues of about 50% year over year.
  • Con : High competitive industry.

Perspectives

The site Seeking alpha has posted recently an in-depth analysis describing a new Intrusion product. I am not going to repeat the content but it mentions that the new product Shield is very promising.

Management

The CEO of the company is Jack B. Blount. The Plaxton family controls about 30% of the shares.

I didn’t find any recent insider activity except for the option exercise.

I bought this position one month ago at $4.00 per share. It’s still cheap at $5 according to me.
