  • The Rapid Evolution of the Home Entertainment Industry

    By Victor Selva - June 14, 2013 | Tickers: DISH, NFLX, S, TIVO

    After cinema and cable TV, ways of delivering multimedia content continued to evolve. First, there was satellite TV; later, systems that integrated digital video recording; and finally, Internet streaming. Below I will look into one company of each kind, Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH), TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), in order to elucidate which ones stand a chance of succeeding in a constantly evolving environment and, thus, comprise good more »

  • Patent Laws Aren't Preventing Copycat Firms like Apple and Samsung

    By Phillip Woolgar - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, SSNLF, TIVO

    Large technology firms often spend billions of dollars each year on research and development in attempts to release the next best thing. The cost of the effort that goes into putting out innovative gadgets is staggering, but companies know that in order to be the leader, they have to release groundbreaking technology. That's what made Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) into the giant it is, and it is what could lead more »

  • Will TiVo’s Future Trades be as Unpromising?

    By Jeremiah Feliciano - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: ARRS, CSCO, GOOG, TWC, TIVO

    The battleground seemed well set for a looming litigation war between TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) and several adversaries that the innovative tech-TV set-top box manufacturer had been locked in with. It was only days to the d-day in court that an announcement was made between TiVo Inc, Motorola, Time Warner Cable Inc (NYSE: TWC), and Arris Group (NASDAQ: ARRS). This was real relief to all parties involved in the suit more »

  • Is TiVo Livin' On a Patented Prayer?

    By Leo Sun - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, GOOG, TIVO | Editor's Choice

    Shares of DVR maker TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO) have been on a roller-coaster ride lately, rising and falling rapidly on news that its nine-year long patent battle against Cisco, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), and Time Warner Cable was finally ending. This volatility, which caused shares to spike 7.5% on June 6 and then plunge 19% the following day, was due to over-optimistic projections of the final settlement, which came in at more »

  • Billionaire Ken Griffin Joins Steve Cohen In TiVo

    By Marshall Hargrave - January 25, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, TIVO | Editor's Choice

    It appears a couple big-name billionaires could be betting on a loosening of the credit markets and a rebound in the buyout markets. Per a 13G filing last week, billionaire Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel Investment Group, announced a 5.2% stake, 6.6 million shares, in TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO). Griffin joins SAC Capital and Steve Cohen as two of TiVo's biggest hedge fund backers. SAC owned 5.5 more »

  • Hedge Funds Have Bought TiVo and More

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 24, 2013 | Tickers: CVRR, RTEC, CKH, TIVO

    While we wait for 13F filings to reveal a more complete picture of what hedge funds and other notable investors owned at the beginning of 2013 (very few of these filings have been released early), we can still get a picture of what fund managers are doing with 13D and 13G filings. These documents disclose when an institutional investor owns over 5% of the outstanding shares of a company, or more »

  • Winners in a Changing Media World

    By Reuben Brewer - January 22, 2013 | Tickers: NFLX, TIVO

    Cable companies changed the face of television. Now companies like Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) and Hulu are changing the television experience again and cable companies are being forced to rethink their business model. The Internet may turn this into a win/win proposition.

  • Who Wins In The Google-Arris Deal?

    By Adam Levy - December 21, 2012 | Tickers: ARRS, GOOG, TWC, TIVO

    When Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) snatched up Motorola Mobility this spring, its intents were clear. The company was after Motorola’s smartphone patents. However, the deal came with a little extra baggage – the Motorola Home division. The division operates with significantly lower margins than Google’s core business, which worried investors back in the spring. Now, those worries can be put to rest as Google found a buyer for the business more »

  • Noteworthy Upgrades for the Week That Could Indicate Further Gains

    By Brian Nichols - December 8, 2012 | Tickers: DELL, SCCO, TIVO, VRSN

    For large cap technology and financial companies, upgrades occur in the blink of an eye, and have little effect during day-to-day trading. However, for smaller companies with less coverage, sometimes an upgrade can send the stock higher. Or in some cases it can completely flip the trend if the stock had been falling lower. With that being said I am looking at four noteworthy upgrades that might have merit and more »

  • The CEO Just Bought at This Tech Company

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - October 1, 2012 | Tickers: CMCSA, ROVI, SNE, TIVO, YHOO

    According to a Form 4 filed with the SEC, Tom Carson directly purchased 15,000 shares of Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI), where he serves as President and CEO, on September 25th.

  • EBay’s Fortunes Bound to PayPal Prosperity

    By Muhammad Bazil - June 19, 2012 | Tickers: EBAY, TIVO

    Are these the last few steps in EBay’s bullish stretch? No they are not. My opinion in a way collides with one underlying unwritten law- a bullish stretch always has a cliff at some point.  Share price doesn’t rise for ever and it is the canny investor who pulls out before the dreaded fall. This is not a mere theory from your local book shop. It actually happened more »

  • Hey TiVo! What’s up?

    By Rita Chattaraj - June 4, 2012 | Tickers: T, CSCO, DISH, TIVO

    Lately, the advanced digital television leader, TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO), has been in a lot of talk. The company came out with its earnings recently followed by a legal suit from the networking giant Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO). For the fiscal 2013 first quarter, though the top line soared, the bottom line suffered a hard blow and the company might suffer an even harder blow thanks to Cisco. Let’s tune into more »

  • 4 Stocks That Can Bounce Back In 2012, 1 That Can't

    By Robert Fisher - January 27, 2012 | Tickers: CMI, FSLR, HPQ, POT, TIVO

    Despite the European sovereign debt crisis and growing concerns about China, recent independent surveys by Grant Thornton have revealed that US business executives are showing greater confidence in the U.S. economic outlook. This increasing business confidence can be attributed to better than expected manufacturing results, greater investment in U.S manufacturing plants, and data that indicates U.S inflation is in check.

    Accordingly, all of these factors indicate that more »
