EnerNOC is part of the clean, efficient power solution

More

Readers of this space know that the investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models and who have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. But every once in while an exception is made for a non-conforming but innovative/promising company, and along this line EnerNOC is worth a review.

EnerNOC, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENOC) develops and provides clean power solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers, as well as to electric power grid operators and utilities.

Analysts really like ENOC's next-generation, technology-based business model. The company uses its network operations center to remotely manage electricity consumption across a network of end-use customer sites and to make electric capacity and energy available on demand to grid operators and utilities.

Further, given the benefits of more-efficient electric power usage, analysts say the sector should be able to support ENOC's business model, and a few other competitors, as well. The Reuters FY 2008/FY 2009 EPS consensus estimates for are -$1.52 to -$0.95.

The risks? Analysts are keeping an eye on ENOC's progress toward profitability, as well as company's ability to diversify revenue streams and expand contracts.

Stock Analysis: EnerNOC is a moderate-risk stock not suitable for low-risk investors. Investors with an investment horizon longer than 3 years should be rewarded from ENOC's shares. Sell/Stop Loss if you were to purchase shares in this company: $17.

Disclosure: Lazzaro has no positions in stocks. In addition to private real estate holdings, he owns corporate and municipal bonds, and cash certificates of deposit.
