Koss stock ended last year at $3.44 per share and by the end of Jan. shot up to $64, before falling to $11.90 on Feb. 23. As of Mar. 23, Koss stock had more than doubled again to $24.\nNot once during this whole superelevation of Koss did management indicate it would do anything to help its shareholders other than themselves. I pointed this&nbsp;out in my article on Koss last month.\nSince then, management has done nothing.\nKoss’ Valuation\nRight now Koss Corp’s market capitalization is $217 million. Most of the gains in the stock price are due to a failover effect from the&nbsp;GameStop(NYSE:GME) short-squeeze craze. In other words, its gains are not likely to continue after this effect dies down.\nMany analysts have written about this effect on Koss stock. For example,this analyst at&nbsp;Seeking Alpha&nbsp;points out the stock is not worth its present price based on its fundamentals.\nIn fact, the company’s sales growth is likely to slow down this year and next. People are not stuck in their homes under lockdown and listening to as much music. Therefore, they will be buying fewer Koss headphones and other electronic listening gear.\nFor example, Koss’s trailing 12-month trailing (TTM) revenue was only $18.9 million, as of Dec. 2019, according toSeeking Alpha. Assuming it makes 3% less this year, sales will be just $18.33 million.\nThat puts its stock market value at 11.9 times sales. But according toMorningstar, its five-year average, including the most current overvalued period, is only 1.16 times sales.\nIn other words, Koss stock is 10 times overvalued (i.e., 11.9 times sales now vs. 1.16 times, historically).\nBut if Koss was able to raise a good deal of cash at this level, its valuation would eventually be higher than when the stock eventually drops. This would also be the case if the company was able to expand its product lines or acquire other companies with the extra cash. That would raise its earnings power.\nWhat Koss Corp Could Do\nRight now, the company has 7.6 million shares outstanding. Let’s assume they could issue another 7.4 million shares so that there are not 15 million shares outstanding. Let’s say they issue the shares at $25 per share. That would give the company $185 million in cash, plus $4.4 million it has now. That brings us to a total of $189.4 million.\nAssuming we value its revenue at twice its historical average, the business would be worth $42.5 million (i.e., 2.32 times $18.33 million). After adding that to the cash value of $189.4 million, the company would be worth $231.9 million. That is greater than its present $217 million market cap.\nHowever, there would twice as many shares, 15 million, now outstanding. Therefore, its target value per share would be $15.46 per share. That is 35% below its present price of $24.\nBut here’s the thing: The market would likely price the stock at least twice its inherent target value, or $30.92. That would be 28% higher than today’s price.\nMoreover, if Koss Corp were to issue the $185 million in cash as convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, the number of shares outstanding would not initially be higher. In addition, the convertible exercise price could be set at a 30% premium to today’s price. That would mean the exercise price would be $33 per share or so.\nThis would limit the dilution.\nLastly, with this cash, the company could expand its operations, make an acquisition, or even buyback stock, if the shares dropped afterward. All of these would act to enhance the value of the stock.\nWhat To Do With Koss Stock\nMany companies buy back their shares in the market when they feel their stock is undervalued. That services to increase the value of the remaining shareholders. This is the same concept. By issuing shares when your stock is overvalued, your company gains advantages and more inherent value than it would otherwise have.\nShareholders should contact management to see if they have any plans in this regard. Until they act to help remaining shareholders, other than selling their own shares in the market, investors should hold off on Koss stock.\n","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Koss Corp Still Has Not Raised Capital at Its Elevated Stock Price</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nKoss Corp Still Has Not Raised Capital at Its Elevated Stock Price\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-23 23:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/03/koss-stock-would-directly-benefit-if-koss-raised-capital-at-todays-levels/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nKoss stock would benefit from an equity, convertible debt and/or preferred capital raise\nKoss Corp (NASDAQ:KOSS) stock has risen over 6 times this year alone, after rising 123% last year.
