Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:
ValueClick to Report In-Line
ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK)
is set to announce its third quarter results on Oct 27. We expect the
company to report in-line third quarter results, if not higher than the
guidance, due to the continued deterioration in the lead generation
business.
Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, ValueClick is a
diversified provider of Internet advertising solutions and online
marketing services for online advertisers and website publishers.
ValueClick directly competes only with Marchex (Nasdaq: MCHX)
for placing web advertisements on affiliate networks. However, large Web
portals such as Google (Nasdaq: GOOG),
Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO)
and MSN continue to increase competition for ValueClick's display ad
business. Over the long-term, we are very positive on online advertising
growth; however, current economic conditions are creating significant
headwinds for ValueClick and others in the industry. We have a neutral
rating on ValueClick.
Radio Shack Delivers in Q3
RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH)
announced its third quarter results today. Net revenues came in at $990
million, down 3.1% year over year. However, this was better than the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of $981 million. The year-over-year reduction
in sales is primarily due to a 2.9% decline in comparable same-store
sales for company-operated stores and kiosks in the reported quarter
compared to the prior-year quarter.
Segment wise, revenues from company-operated store declined 3.5% year
over year, Kiosks sales declined 17.8% year over year, whereas revenues
from Other services increased 13.5% year over year. Acquisition of
RadioShack de Mexico in December 2008 has significantly contributed to
the Other services segment. Product category wise, sales declines in
digital-to-analog converter boxes, laptop
computers, batteries, wireless accessories, and GPS products.
