A Word Of Caution

Stocks trading for less than $1 are loosely termed "penny" stocks. American Petro-Hunter, Incorporated (AAPH) is selling for less than $1 per share. While we stand by our ratings methodology for long term value investors, often times "penny" stocks can be more volatile. Because many "penny" stocks are lightly traded their stock price can fluctuate because of a single large trade. Also, there is generally less analyst coverage of such "penny" stocks and thus less information from which to base our rating.

While this company may not get as much press because of its low stock price, please take a moment to look at the RazorWire feed on the right hand side of the report. Each time American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is mentioned on business television or influential blogs recently should be displayed. This helps to bring you up to speed on any major issues they are facing right now.

AAPH Revenue

There is not enough fundamental data available to properly evaluate this company at this time.

AAPH Cash Earnings

Price to Cash Earnings analysis is inappropriate for this company due to an insufficient positive cash earnings history. Rather than calculating a potentially misleading Price to Cash Earnings analysis, we have chosen to give AAPH a neutral Price to Cash Earnings outlook at this time. However, we should point out that this metric is a significant element in Ockham’s methodology to analyzing the outlook for any company. Therefore, for AAPH, our assessment is now more dependent on the Price to Sales analysis, and investors should be cautious with a company with very limited, if any, positive cash earnings.

AAPH Dividends

While it is not necessary to pay an attractive dividend or a dividend at all, to receive a positive rating from Ockham, we view dividends as an additionally helpful measure in determining the future potential of any company. While we do like to see companies with healthy and growing dividends, it is not appropriate for all companies, especially those focused on growth. In this regard, we regard AAPH as neutral because we do not have historical data for this company's dividends. We will being incorporating this into our analysis as soon as that data is available.
