Looking for holiday stocking stuffers? Check out Blackboxstocks (NASDAQ: BLBX). Why? Because they may be one of the most well-positioned NASDAQ companies to deliver potentially exponential returns in 2022. A bold statement, perhaps, but considering the facts, it's a likely presumption.
In fact, it may be true even as it stands on a simple sum of its parts calculation. BLBX just completed a $12 million public offering, uplisted to a senior NASDAQ market, and reported the highest paid subscriber base in its history. Not only that, last week, they announced another record-setting month, with November scoring its highest-ever recurring revenue and cash receipts. Add to that a successful Cyber Monday event that helped generate upwards of $1.2 million in that same month; it's clear that a revenue-generating tailwind is in place to push BLBX to more record-breaking performance.
And keep in mind, while Q4 performance has earned its share of the recent headlines, its working partnership with industry giant TradeStation (NYSE: QFTA) also helped BLBX post its highest-ever revenues in Q3. Combine all the above with a capital structure having only about 13 million shares O/S and a trading float lower than that, and with bullish guidance to close out the year, BLBX stock at current levels is more than attractive; it's a compelling investment opportunity.
Record Growth And iOS and Android Listings
And it could get even better in 2022. But that means higher prices for investment procrastinators are likely. In fact, BLBX fuels that argument, not shying away from providing guidance that could close an obvious valuation gap as early as the end of the current quarter. By the way, how good is its forecast? Well, it calls for its record-setting performances to continue. Thus, it's about as good as it gets.
BLBX said they expect comparative Q4 revenue to be between 45% - 50% higher than last year. Accordingly, factoring in a record-setting November likely means another record-breaking update to its subscriber levels and cash receipts. Of course, trading ahead of that news could have the most bang for the investment buck. And with markets relentlessly taking down good stocks with the bad during a brutal Q4 for small-caps, buying into stocks that are proving growth may be the best move to building back portfolio value.
BLBX, by the way, is providing all the ammo needed to justify its place on that list. Not only that, investors are starting to learn that when BLBX talks, the markets tend to respond favorably. That was the case last month, with BLBX shares soaring by more than 24% after announcing its highest paid subscriber base ever, surpassing the 6,000 user threshold for the first time ever. Part of that move likely came from a short position starting to cover after overstaying its welcome. And the other part was pure organic gains, facilitated by a company that is doing the right things at the right time to create shareholder value.
Here's better news, that trend is expected to continue this month. In addition to record-growth and equally bullish guidance, BLBX is commencing its most aggressive marketing campaign ever. It's a plan they believe can eventually get its industry-best trading platform into the hands of thousands of new traders by the end of the next quarter. Frankly, it's not even an ambitious target considering the imminent listing of the Blackboxstocks platform to iOS and Android app stores. Not only is it a reachable goal, but it's also likely to be achieved sooner than expected.
Remember, those two app stores reach at least 99% of potential Blackboxstocks users. And when combined with a dose of million-dollar marketing, it can drive massive user adoption from a retail trading market needing better resources. Better yet, for investors favoring aggressive management, they should be pleased to know that BLBX isn't taking its opportunity lightly. Instead, they are taking advantage of its highest cash balance ever to commence a multi-faceted marketing plan that targets that base.
If their message resonates, investors can expect a surge in new business for BLBX, which translates into a revenue-generating tailwind that could make Q4 results record-setting and the starting point for better things to come.
Capitalizing On Democratized Trading Movement
Actually, that tailwind is in place and gaining strength. And for BLBX, it could make them a percentage gain leader in an expected early 2022 rally in the small-cap sector. Their contribution is well-deserved. In addition to posting exceptional growth over its 2020 revenues, BLBX has done the work to strengthen its platform and business relationships as well. And those fortifications are timely, taking advantage of a surge in the democratized trading movement.
That movement can be traced back to the roots of Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), which despite its stock getting crushed in recent weeks, was a leader in providing retail traders a platform that, at the time, was considered premium. As a result, their platform attracted an army of retail investors, which exposed the market opportunity for companies with better products. BLBX is part of that group. Not only that, they are taking market share from that once-dominant player.
Better yet, its pace of "taking" is accelerating by maximizing its capital war chest to introduce and convert traders to its platform, which provides significantly more resources and value than other platforms on the market. But that's just the BLBX contributions. What can't be overlooked is the value of its partnerships with industry giants that enhance the platform's inherent value.
TradeStation is on that list and plays a vital role in accelerating client conversion.
Partnering With Industry Giant TradeStation
They should. By combining features with TradeStation, BLBX delivers an even more excellent product, proving itself time after time superior to other real-time platforms. Moreover, investors in BLBX stock should realize that the working relationship with TradeStation does more than enhance an already comprehensive platform; it validates it. Not only that, integration with TradeStation helped create a working platform with resources once reserved for only professional traders. It's so powerful that it's been described as the ultimate tool that levels the investment landscape for retail traders by providing real-time information, market insight, and lightning-fast trade execution. It goes beyond those advantages, too.
Adding more firepower to already distancing advantages, the BLBX platform is the only known financial technology and social media hybrid providing real-time proprietary analytics for stock and options traders of all levels. That combination has led some users to refer to Blackboxstocks as a Robinhood platform on steroids. Several reasons were provided.
The biggest is that Blackboxstocks does much more than facilitate trades. It indeed provides that function. But it also checks the unexpected boxes, with the combined BLBX/TradeStation platform also providing users a Quick-Click feature that loads proprietary automated alerts for options contracts through a simple two-click process. That feature alone saves traders crucial time on order entry and execution with lightning-fast execution speed. But, there's more to appreciate.
Users also get a dual benefit from real-time Blackbox trading alerts and from TradeStation's discounted trading rate with no ticket fee to Blackbox members using the Quick-Click feature. Thus, investors save the two most valuable assets in trading, time and money. Still, there's more to like.
Perhaps the most attractive feature of the platform may be that it uses the most current technology, including AI, to do almost all of the pre-trade legwork for its users. And it does so with speed and precision, running thousands of scans at a millisecond pace to provide users proprietary options alerts or options flow data. But not only does it find trade opportunities, but it also sets it up to execute as well. Once an optimum trade is scored, users simply click the mouse on the highlighted trade button to get orders executed at speeds usually reserved for institutional traders. Thus, while the working relationship with TradeStation has been called transformative to BLBX, it can also be for traders' portfolios.
And that's no coincidence.
Millisecond Scanning And Lightning-Fast Trade Execution
It's an intended result of having lightning-fast processes and unparalleled detail at the user's fingertips. That comes from embedded technology continuously scanning the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, CBOE, and all other options markets, analyzing over 10,000 stocks and up to 1,500,000 options contracts multiple times per second. In addition to that professional-level performance, the BLBX platform also provides users a fully interactive social media platform integrated into a user-friendly dashboard, enabling them to exchange information and ideas quickly and efficiently through a shared network. In simpler terms, BLBX helps facilitate a chat room with a shared interest to make money.
For novice traders, it can instantly level the investment playing field. Moreover, the real-time shared chat feature is a perfect tool for retail investors who want to follow more seasoned investors' trades. In other words, the social aspect of the BLBX platform provides a way for traders to invest alongside more savvy ones through its live audio/video feature. That feature allows members to broadcast on their own channels to share trade ideas, making the BLBX platform ideal for trading communities. Best of all, it provides the entire group the simultaneous benefit to leverage knowledge, speed, and access to real-time information.
Of course, while the Blackboxstocks platform is excellent for stock and options traders, investors in BLBX stock are more concerned with how the platform can drive shareholder value higher. The good news there is that BLBX provides the answers.
Proving Value Through Record-Setting Performance
As noted, BLBX reported a surge in Q3, positive Q4 updates, strong guidance, and impressive YTD results. In Q3, revenues increased by 34% to approximately $1.47 million compared to the previous year's comparative period. Its nine-month YTD results were even better, with revenues jumping over 90% to roughly $4.42 million over the comparative 2020 period. Looking ahead, expectations call for more of the same.
Guidance suggests that Q4 will deliver more records, which, incidentally, can push BLBX toward Adjusted EBITDA positive status sooner than later. Notably, BLBX posted only a $(23,320) loss for nine months ended September 30, 2021, a 73% improvement over last year. Thus, that milestone is in the crosshairs.
Also, BLBX is in a much stronger position to drive shareholder value higher after completing its $12 million capital raise. And with plans to make its BLBX platform available as iOS or Android apps for mobile devices this quarter, already impressive organic growth could become exponential viral growth. At current prices, it's fair to say that none of the above is appropriately priced into the stock. But, that disconnect exposes a value opportunity that, frankly, is getting too big to ignore. Thus, the best plan of action may be not to.
Better Positioned Than Ever For 2022 Breakout
Here's another thing to consider. Fundamentally, BLBX has never been better positioned to add potentially exponential shareholder value in both the near and long term. They have the highest ever cash balances, best ever subscriber levels, and a record-setting performance in Q3 with a tailwind into Q4. Thus, as BLBX stock drifts lower, apparently in sympathy with small-cap weakness and a complete break from fundamentals, a dramatic snapback rally in the early part of 2022 is more than warranted; it's deserved.
Better still, BLBX is checking all the right boxes from a forward-looking perspective. They provided exceptionally strong Q4 and 2022 guidance, are leveraging industry-best relationships, and have plans to extend its platform reach to millions of new potential users as early as this quarter. So, for investors that like proven growth with a well-defined path forward, BLBX has is one to consider.
And the best part of that consideration- BLBX has provided the diligence, with performance likely to blaze a trail to new highs in the coming year.
