NPTN - New IPO ready to soar

Neophotonics Corporation (NPTN) engages in the design and manufacture of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high-speed communications networks. The San Jose, CA-based company, which conducts the majority of its manufacturing in China, is seeing healthy demand for its products as data carriers look to upgrade their networks to support growth in bandwidth-hungry content such as video and other multimedia applications. The company generated $176 million in sales for the 12 month period ending September 30, 2010. NPTN offered 7.5 million shares at $11. It had provided an earlier range of 7 million shares at $9 to $11. It is currently trading at $18.50 and has potential to double in 2011.

Bottom line - With strong international demand for high-speed communication network and products we can expect a surge in the sales as consumers' appetite for online video grows. This is a tiny float value stock that has potential to double this year.
