Goldman Small Cap Research announced Monday after market close, that it has issued research coverage of Intertainment Media (OTCQX: ITMTF) $0.16, one of North America's leading technology incubators. Intertainment Media is focused on developing, nurturing and investing in both North American and global technologies and companies that provide technology solutions for brands and consumers alike and then monetizing the asset through spin-outs on public exchanges or outright sales.
In the Goldman Opportunity Research report on the Company, analyst Rob Goldman outlines his investment thesis.
"Intertainment Media's strategy of unlocking significant value through the public spin-out or sale of key holdings could result in hundreds of millions in market value to investors. Ortsbo, Intertainment Media's crown jewel, is likely the first spinout target. The Company's model is tried and true and should result in a series of successes. A investment in INT is akin to a rare opportunity for investors to participate in the ownership of valuable, undervalued companies before they go public, via a venture fund-class type of vehicle."
What They Do: Intertainment Media is one of Canada's leading technology incubators and is focused on developing, nurturing and investing in both North American and global technologies and companies that provide technology solutions for brands and consumers alike.
Intertainment also owns and operates a number of key properties including Ad Taffy, itiBiti (KNCTR), Ortsbo, Deal Frenzy, The Sweet Card and Magnum, with investments in leading edge technologies and social media platforms including theaudience.com.
