ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedChip Visibility, a division of RedChip Companies, Inc., has issued a research update on NIVS IntelliMedia Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE Amex:NIV), an integrated consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures, markets and sells intelligent audio and video products.
Peter Heise, RedChip Research Analyst, reported:
"NIVS IntelliMedia intends on becoming a major cell phone provider and expects 3G phone sales to eventually become the core business. We believe the Company has the potential to challenge very large competitors with its low cost manufacturing, quality brand name, and its speech-recognition technology."
"There is a huge market for 3G phones in China with estimates approaching one billion devices by 2013. The Chinese handset market is cell phone based, rather than carrier based like in the U.S, allowing the product to sell itself on cost effectiveness or features rather than service plans from the carrier," Heise continued.
"Ending a seasonally strong fourth quarter, we expect NIVS' growth will likely continue to be driven by the continued expansion of intelligent products and new products such 3G mobile phones. We are maintaining our Buy rating and $7.70 target price on NIV shares," Heise concluded.
