    By Robert Hanley - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: LEDR, TRLA, Z

    By Victor Selva - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: NTES, SFLY, Z

    Over the last decade, the Internet has opened a lot of opportunities for those who find a niche in the market and know how to make it capitalize (and monetize) it. Shutterfly (NASDAQ: SFLY), NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES) and Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) are three companies in the Internet services sector that are worth a closer look as growth prospects look promising for long-term investors.

  • Three Virtual Real Estate Companies Vying For A Piece of the Action

    By Delian Naydenov - June 4, 2013 | Tickers: LEDR, MOVE, TRLA, Z

    The real estate marketplace is one of the few areas where we still rely mostly on a live person to help us buy, sell, and (to some extent) rent properties. Three companies that are catering to the real estate agent but are also increasingly helping consumers in the process of choosing or marketing real estate are Zillow (NASDAQ: Z), Move (NASDAQ: MOVE), and Trulia (NYSE: TRLA). According to a recent more »

    By Cory Colpetzer - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, FB, LNKD, NFLX, Z

    The internet stock bubble of 2000 is a distant memory to most at this point, but there were lessons taught that one can continue to utilize in today's market. First, we must acknowledge that bubbles will always exist. They have, and will continue to rise due to the irrational exuberance of investors chasing the next big thing trying to make big money. This phenomenon has been multiplied in the more »

  • Why These 3 Web Stocks Are a Buy

    By Alexander Cho - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: GRPN, NFLX, Z

    I love reading about small web-based companies that start-up and grow into multibillion-dollar businesses. In hopes of finding more such companies, I rounded up three businesses that could generate outstanding returns. They all have unique business models, high projected growth rates, and market caps smaller than $15 billion, giving them all plenty of room for further growth.

  • Zillow Is Worth How Much?

    By Mark Holder - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: LNKD, TRIP, Z

    As a leader in the real estate online market place, investors might be shocked that Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) is only worth $1.8 billion. The website has long been a go-to place to review houses for sale and home values, yet the level of revenue and market value might surprise investors. In fact, this investor regularly used the website back before the financial crisis in an era before Facebook and more »

  • Zillow Could Be a Potential Buyout From Google or Facebook

    By Alexander Cho - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, YHOO, Z

    Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) has been catching a lot of momentum as the online real estate website continues to collect fees from its real estate listing services. The company provides housing statistics to its users referred to as Zestimates that helps buyers to identify potential arbitrage opportunities between the value of the house and the market value. This helps buyers to determine if they’re buying the property at a discount more »

  • Internet IPO Update: Big Growth and Big Potential

    By Austin Higgins - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: LNKD, YELP, Z

    In the last few years there has been an influx of initial public offerings. A lot of these companies are Internet-based and come with a lot of hype and high valuations. These three companies all posted first-quarter earnings in the beginning of May. Here is what investors can expect for this year.

    LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) recently posted its quarterly earnings. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.45. This more »

  • Lots to Like at Trulia Except the Stock Price

    By Mark Holder - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: MOVE, TRLA, Z

    After the market close on Tuesday, Trulia (NYSE: TRLA) reported results that missed analyst estimates. The stock though jumped after hours based on the rapid revenue growth and guidance.

    The online marketplace for real estate has been on a tear of late and the latest news apparently didn’t disappoint those stockholders. Are investors overly excited about the prospects of a stock trading at nearly 10 times revenue estimates that more »

  • Is This High-Flyer Still Presenting Value in an Overvalued Space?

    By Brian Nichols - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: ANGI, YELP, Z, ZNGA

    On November 28, 2012 I wrote an article looking at several analyst upgrades, one being Angie’s List (NASDAQ: ANGI). In the piece, I commended Northland on its “Outperform” call, and its conclusion that the stock was trading at a 44% discount to its peers. Upon further research and realizing the value presented, I added ANGI to my Motley Fools CAPS picks, told you to add it, and then purchased more »

  • These Small Caps Will Profit from the Housing Recovery

    By Brian Shaw - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: LL, SCSS, TTS, TREX, Z

    Last week, I wrote about how housing markets around the country are showing signs of improvement. While the U.S. is still nowhere near the frenzied market (and prices) of five years ago, a resurgence of demand has led to some significant investing opportunities. The previous article emphasized how companies beyond home builders, home improvement stores, and banks are poised to benefit from this recovery; companies as diverse as copper more »

  • Internet Stocks Rally on Down Market: Will it Continue?

    By Brian Nichols - April 9, 2013 | Tickers: GRPN, OPEN, YELP, Z

    While the S&P 500 lost nearly 0.50% on Friday, the NASDAQ even more, most industries traded with loss. One of the rare exceptions was with social media, which is also a space that should continue to fundamentally grow regardless of market activity. Therefore, I am looking at four of the best performers to assess upside.

    The interview review site/company Yelp (NYSE: YELP) saw an 8.58% rally more »

  • This Small Acquisition May Have Huge Benefits

    By Brian Shaw - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, RST, Z

    Just a month ago, I detailed how Rosetta Stone (NYSE: RST) CEO Steve Swad has led an impressive turnaround for the company in just over one year at the helm. Among the opportunities (and risks) remaining as Rosetta Stone pushes forward is the relatively new idea that Rosetta Stone may use some of its $148 million in cash (and no debt) to grow by acquisition.  This strategy has already begun more »

    By Anindya Batabyal - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: CSGP, TRLA, Z

  • Chinese Elixir Potent for U.S. Home Market

    By Arturo Cuevas - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: RLGY, TRLA, Z

    Well-funded entrepreneurs and wealthy individual buyers from China have been reported by WSJ Live recently as “snapping up” real estate for sale in the U.S. One of the principal reasons why more Chinese buyers are looking into U.S. properties is Beijing’s continuing efforts to cool down its overheating residential property market. The new measures that China adopted have been described as the toughest in years and included more »
