Darin Beamish, VP Software Boxlight, said:

“We are excited to launch the MimioConnect platform during a time when there is so much uncertainty about how class will be conducted going into the 2020-2021 school year. Our development team has worked tirelessly to create a solution that will meet the needs of school districts, teachers and students that follows a blended learning model, includes assessment and provides student monitoring. This solution is simple to use, integrates with existing LMS solutions, allows users to use existing lesson content and works with existing technology.

Why Boxlight Stock Is A Smart Bet

1. The company raised $30 million in July. We don't expect another equity raise anytime soon.
2. The partnership with Samsung is a game-changer.
3. Federal and state funding is coming for schools to set up online education. Boxlight provides seamless solutions for this scenario, which is further enhanced by a partnership with Samsung. This is the real bull thesis behind the spike of the stock price, and it will continue into the fall.
4. Under $2, Boxlight stock trades at a fraction of its $8 IPO price and below the all-time high just above $16.
5. Its current market cap is just $86 million, making the company an attractive acquisition target.
6. Boxlight stock trades at just 2.83x sales and sales are growing. For Q1 2020, Boxlight reported that revenues increased by 15% to $5.7 million, and orders increased by 85% to $7.6 million over the same period in 2019.

Bottom Line

Online education stocks are about to go parabolic. The school from home trend is a reality. Even when we have a vaccine for Covid-19 and students return to the classroom, a hybrid model of online and classroom learning is a new reality. Students need to be prepared to use technology to better prepare them for today's new work from home environment. Workers have had to adapt with Zoom, Slack, and other technologies. Teachers and students will do the same. The best bet is to find the company with the best technology in the space. In our opinion, that is Boxlight stock. Any dips in Boxlight stock represent a discount entry opportunity.As always, good luck to all (except the shorts)!
