LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. (LF): LeapFrog
Enterprises designs, develops, and markets technology-based learning products
and related proprietary content for children worldwide.
It’s easy to make a case against LeapFrog, mostly
cheaper alternatives. Yet, the current price could present a strong opportunity.My quick check on Amazon shows 5 and 4 star
reviews for their toys.LF has many number 1 products for child learning. number 1 or highly rated products such as LeapPad learning tablet, Leapster, learning game systems, along with learning toys, and educational videos.Amazon customers gave 4 and 5 star ratings for their large line of products.
I will rely on financial numbers to make the case to investigate further.

their existing position, Royce and Killen group.Tangible value based evidence for LF ;Price = $6.88…. assets supporting the price
