From Barron's 4/9/07 GPN, a high-volume processor of electronic transactions, had third-quarter 2007 EPS of 44 cents -- [beating] our expectations and consensus...of 41 cents. We believe that GPN's preliminary guidance for FY08 has reduced the level of growth expectations yet, coupled with the FDC/KKR deal, has opened a window of opportunity to purchase the shares at below private-market value. Raising to Outperform; initial price target, 46.

From Barron's 4/9/07 NAPS preannounced better-than-expected F4Q07 subscriber and revenue growth; AOL conversions slightly below expectations. What should investors do? We [reiterate] Buy. While most of the NAPS' upside return potential is from a takeout, [we think] management is improving execution. NAPS continues to enter agreements in high-growth market segments, notably in mobile: AT NTT DoCoMo; and KDDI. And we believe NAPS is cutting its sales and marketing expenses, narrow[ing] its cash burn.

From Barron's 4/9/07 We raise our price target to 17 (from 15) based on an 8 times EV/2007 [enterprise value] multiple to our new 2007 Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] estimate of $47 million (from $45 million). StealthGas announced the acquisition of four [liquid-petroleum gas] carriers (three secondhands and one new) for an aggregate price of $51 million. We expect these acquisitions to be financed by approximately 90% debt and 10% equity. As a result, we raise our 2007 and 2008 EPS estimates to $1.50 (from $1.46) and $1.71 (from $1.58), respectively, to account for latest acquisitions, as well as charter extensions for six LPG carriers. We also raise our Ebitda estimates to $47 million (from $45 million) for 2007 and $53 million (from $47 million) for 2008. GASS has secured 85%+ of its fleet operating days for 2007, which should provide relatively stable earnings and help support current dividend policy.
