Driven by strong sales growth for its Pooph pet odor control product line, small-cap BioLargo Inc. (BLGO:OTCQB) announced preliminary 2023 revenues have doubled over 2022 levels for the second consecutive year, reported Oak Ridge analyst Richard Ryan in a January 29 research note.
Ryan believes these results support his Buy rating and US$0.35 price target.
Based on BioLargo's limited Q4/23 details and sequential trends, Ryan estimates revenues totaled nearly US$3.9 million, translating to full-year sales approaching US$11.7 million versus his previous forecast of US$10.9 million.
Pooph appears to have posted over US$9 million in annual revenues after selling through major online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Ryan conservatively models Pooph delivered at least US$3.5 million in Q4 top-line results alone.
"BLGO's results continue to be driven by Pooph sales, its pet odor control product line that is being sold through national retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Chewy, and a growing list of other retailers," Ryan stated.
While not explicitly guiding to new products, Ryan pointed to early signs BioLargo could be expanding Pooph into pet wipes through channels like Chewy.
Beyond the core Pooph growth story, Ryan highlighted BioLargo subsidiary Clyra Medical's potential as it seeks major partners for its novel infection control solution. Further gains may also emerge from PFAS water remediation projects, with tailwinds from EPA regulation and funding.
He wrote, "Modeling expectations are difficult to time, but we endeavored to incrementally include PFAS-related revenues and developed a bull case Price Target of CA$0.45."
