Nutrafuels, Inc. NTFU
We’re excited about our primary point of focus today, NTFU, and the space in which the company operates. We’ve paid a lot of attention to traditional pharma plays in the past, but seldom have we run across a stock that represents the niche market of orally-introduced nutraceuticals.
The main distinction between pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, or health supplements, is the manner in which they are regulated in the US. Pharmaceuticals, even if derived from natural compounds, are meant to be used under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, available by prescription only. The guidelines surrounding nutraceuticals are far less stringent, and they may be sold over-the-counter without limitation, or a rigorous, years-long approval process.
We like NTFU because they don’t just talk a good game, but walk the walk as well, with a fully-established line of natural, orally ingested supplements that are already available for sale. By some estimates, the Health & Wellness industry is expected to grow by more than 70% over the next few years, and NTFU is uniquely positioned to take advantage of that trend. The company has gone on record in stating that a key goal is to capture a 1% market share of the oral spray category inside of the next three years, and the pieces are in place to make a good effort to do just that.
The ‘sublingual spray’ method of delivery offers a high rate of bioavailability, thanks to the human mouth’s knack for trans-dermal appropriation of nutrients. It’s also an invaluable nutrient delivery method for the estimated 40% of Americans who have trouble swallowing the large pills that are often associated with supplements. The oral spray sector of the nutraceutical industry is estimated to have an annual worth upwards of $250-300M; a 1% share of that would mean substantial yearly revenue, yet does not appear to be an unrealistic goal by any stretch.
It’s a relatively underdeveloped market, with no clear leaders or household names, and NTFU aims to change that with NutraSpray. They have a number of approaches to retailing that we find well thought out, and poised for maximum effectiveness:
In addition to the brand establishment that is well underway, on the technical side of things, we can really appreciate the share structure of NTFU. With less than 23M shares outstanding, this low-float play could be subject to substantial gains with relatively little buying pressure. NTFU is coming off of its 52-week lows of .10, so we’re coming across the stock an an opportune time, and this morning’s exciting PR is only going to add to that:
