The Razor's Edge

2-Year Price History

A Word Of Caution

Stocks trading for less than $1 are loosely termed "penny" stocks. Caspian International Oil Corporation (CIOC) is selling for less than $1 per share. While, we stand by our ratings methodology for long term value investors, often times "penny" stocks will 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.

Therefore, (and as always), check additional sources and available information regarding Caspian Internat Oil Corp. before making an investment decision.

Ockham's Rating

Rating Specific Information Withheld Premium Access Only

CIOC Revenue

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

CIOC 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 CIOC 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 CIOC, 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.

CIOC Dividends

A positive Ockham rating does not require a company to pay out an inviting dividend or a dividend at all. However, we believe dividends provide a useful measure on a company's inherent expectations. CIOC is not paying a dividend at this time, nor do they have a history of paying a dividend for the last 10 years plus. Therefore, we are not utilizing the dividends portion in our study. If CIOC initiates paying a dividend, we will begin to factor this into the Ockham approach.
