PFSW Pfsweb Inc

Dutton Associates updates coverage of PFSweb (Nasdaq:PFSW) maintaining a Strong Speculative Buy rating, and a $2.00 price target. The 12-page report by Dutton senior analyst David P. Soetebier, CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and other leading financial portals. PFSweb Inc. is a global provider of integrated business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions. On February 1, 2006, the Company acquired eCOST Inc., an online retailer, for an exchange of shares. The acquisition offers the potential to accelerate growth but comes with the risk of a need to make the operation profitable. To date, the integration of eCOST into PFSweb has been more challenging than we expected. Through September 30, 2006, PFSweb had to advance $10.0 million to eCOST. Because of these near-term uncertainties, the stock has pulled back and we believe it is sharply undervalued. However, earlier this year we did reduce our 12-month target to $2.00 from $3.00. We are concerned that until eCOST is approaching profitability, or investors are confident that eCOST will be profitable shortly, the shares could stay depressed. We have a Strong Speculative Buy rating on the shares.
