ROSEVILLE, Calif., Dec 03, 2008 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- UTVG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Dutton Associates initiates coverage of Universal Travel Group (OTC Bulletin Board: UTVG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) with a Strong Speculative Buy rating and a price target of $3.36. The 23-page report by Dutton senior analyst Stanley Ng is available at http://www.duttonassociates.com as well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Capital IQ, FactSet, Reuters, and other leading financial portals.

Universal Travel is a travel services provider in the People's Republic of China and is principally engaged in the provisions of air-ticket and hotel reservations, domestic and international travel and tourism services throughout China via the Internet and through customer representatives. The Company's services include tour-packaging, booking, services for air tickets and hotels as well as air cargo agency. The Company's vision is to become the foremost leading online travel services provider in all fields of the tourism industry, including the aviation service, cargo agency, hotel booking and tour packaging segments in the People's Republic of China. It is a quality and attractive play to participate in China's huge and growing tourism industry. We expect that the Company should be able to sustain very rapid growth in revenue and net income in the coming few years simply through capturing additional market shares from its competitors. Based on our assumptions, and the Company's pace of expansion, we forecast the Company to achieve a 67.5% increase in revenue to $74.17 million in 2008, $98.64 million in 2009 and $141.25 million in 2010. Diluted EPS should increase from $0.26 in 2007 to $0.35 in 2008, $0.42 in 2009 and $0.65 in 2010. At our 12-month target price of $3.36 per share, the stock is trading at prospective 2008 diluted PE of 9.6x and just 8.0x for 2009, versus its current 2.2x our 2008 estimate.
