  • Workday Is Worth How Much?

    By Mark Holder - March 14, 2013 | Tickers: MM, CRM, NOW, WDAY

    Demand for software companies that cater to business clients remains strong, but not enough workdays exist in a year to make Workday (NYSE: WDAY) attractive at current market multiples. The company went public in mid-October at highly unappealing multiples that left limited upside ever since.

    The provider of enterprise cloud-based applications for customers to manage critical business functions trades at around 25 times fiscal year 2014 (ending January 2014) revenue more »

These typically move stocks on the call alone; the price target and outlook. However, some analysts provide detailed reasons; these are the outlooks that should be noted and used as part of your fundamental research. Therefore, I am taking a look at such outlooks and determining the more »

  • Three Stocks Seeing High Short Interest, But Two Are Presenting Value

    By Brian Nichols - December 27, 2012 | Tickers: MLNX, NOW, TDC

    It always puzzles me when shorts surround themselves around certain stocks that have seemingly strong fundamental performance. At the same time, there are stocks where a short position is completely logical.

    Buffett warns investors to not invest in IPOs. His justification? IPOs are likely overpriced! While this notion stands valid in the case of one of the biggest IPOs of this decade, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) it may not hold true universally.

Excess demand for a hot issue with a large intangible asset base that makes valuation difficult, can cause its IPO to be overpriced. But not all issues are met with the same investor overconfidence and overhype. Find out here about three such recent IPOs, one new upcoming IPO to avoid and one to consider.

    A calamitous June ended Friday with an exclamatory punctuation that saw all major American indices close up better than two and a half percent as Germany kind of sort of agreed to a bailout of its beleaguered EU colleagues. Stocks catapulted to the best June in 10 years even as German finance minister Schaeuble attempted to temper market enthusiasm by reinforcing Merkel’s “As long as I live there will more »
