Potential Still Strong at Taser - Jeffries

Jefferies is out positive on Taser (NASDAQ:TASR), saying evidence from deployments continues to mount that Tasers save lives, reduce the cost of law enforcement, and lower injuries to officers and suspects. These forces should drive continued adoption by worldwide law enforcement and correction agencies, as well as the military, private security firms and consumers.

The company has the potential to grow its top line 30+% each of the next five years. The initial wave of growth is driven by penetration of the potentially 100 million worldwide users of the technology. As penetration increases, the company benefits from an annuity-like revenue stream from its installed base for cartridges, increasing predictability.

Currently, the annual recurring revenue per existing customer is about $85, excluding replacement units. The second wave of growth likely comes in 3+ years when the company launches an upgrade to its X26 unit.

With over 12,400 law enforcement agencies buying Tasers in 45 countries, as well as growing penetration of the military, private security and consumer markets, Taser has developed a broad and stable customer base.

I have made a lot of money on Tasr. Bought at $9 it went up to $18 or so I sold and I am ready for some more. I like this stock.

I am kicking myself for not selling when it hit $19 (got half of mine at $7, and the other half at $14), but because I think this is the technology of the future, I'm always hesitant to sell. One of these times the stock will go back up and stay there, and I won't be able to buy in low again!
