TOP IDEAS: Beaten down from the oil slump, Titan Logix (TSXV: TLA) is positioned to grow again, which means opportunity for small cap value investors.

Note: Investorfile's share price accumulation target of $0.75 for Titan Logix Corp. was reached on February 5, 2013. For the record, we do not revise share price targets for our Top Ideas - Small Cap Value Stocks. We have positioned our blog to be one of the first providers for a pragmatic perspective of a small cap company stock's potential worth, where there may be uncovered value that has been largely overlooked by the investment community.

The stock, Titan Logix Corp. (TSXV: TLA - C$0.60) was once big gainer for the Investorfile blog. At its peak, shares in Titan Logix generated an investment return of 234%, 24 months after we published our first blog post about the Company in 2012 (See: Titan Logix: Fluid in value and growing rapidly).

But that was then and this is now. Today the Titan Logix’s shares trade at a price less than half its historical highs precipitated by the collapse of world oil prices two years ago and what followed: massive spending cuts by the oil and gas related industries, the Company’s main market. As a result, the Company’s revenues and profits have plummeted.

Even still, we feel that Titan Logix may be ripe for a recovery and the Company remains on our list of Top Ideas.

Titan Logix is an industrial technology company focused on manufacturing and marketing of advanced fluid management solutions. The Company's flagship products, the Finch II™ display/controller, designed for use with the Titan TD80™ - a Guided Wave Radar (GWR) gauge for mobile crude oil tankers - is the market leader for electronic fluid level measurement and overfill prevention products in North America.

Over the last two years, the Titan Logix has invested on research and development. The Company digitized its technology and introduced telematics to enhance its product data capture capabilities to measure crude tanker truck driver productivity and delivery times, spillage and safety records which now can be accessed remotely on the cloud. Recent product improvements have been well received by its customers according to the Company.

After two years of slumping tanker production, the demand for new crude oil road tankers in North America (the Company’s traditional market) has stabilized. According to Company the market is showing signs of recovery based on an increase in customer interest.

Titan’s next generation of digital Guided Wave Radar products and market introduction is expected by the end of calendar 2017. This will be a critical milestone for the Company. This new gauging systems is designed for the "refined fuel" mobile tanker market. Refined fuel tankers are the road trucks that deliver gasoline to retail gas stations. Titan Logix will be first-to-market with a line of electronic fluid gauges specifically designed for refined fuel road tankers in North America.

Last week the Company released its fiscal 2017 Q3 financial results and, as expected, Titan Logix reported a loss of C$366,000 or C$0.01 per share. The loss was significantly less than the prior year quarter and revenues have begun to stabilize quarter to quarter. Of greater significance is the Company’s balance sheet: C$15.1 million in working capital, of which C$13.9 million (C$0.49/per share) is in cash. Titan Logix is cash-rich and debt-free.

We expect that Titan Logix will return to profitability some time in the latter half of fiscal 2018 based on the expected sales traction of new products as well as from a measured recovery occurring in its traditional markets. Given this prognostication we encourage small cap value investors to begin accumulating stock of Titan Logix (again) to a high of C$0.75 per share. This is the same target price we used when the Investorfile blog first introduced the Company back in 2012, after which the stock rose to over C$1.50 per share.

For patient small cap investors we see little downside (and plenty of potential upside) in owning this stock at current valuation levels given the Company’s strong cash position.

Titan Logix has approximately 28.5 million shares outstanding.
