U.S. Bancorp started coverage of iVillage earlier this week with a "strong buy" rating, and the stock certainly like the news. The brokerage set full-year loss per share estimates of $4.06 and $3.51 for 1999 and 2000, respectively. Was this an underwriter? Why would any i-bank other than one of the original underwriter's set a 'strong buy' for this stock? |

After the earnings announcement yesterday, iVillage tried to stem the market's negative reaction by issuing a separate press release stating that its revenues for Q4 and the full-year 2000 could come in about 20% above current estimates. Now I thought that company's were supposed to turn a blind eye to short term stock price, and concern themselves more with providing long-term shareholder value. When did that change? They have actual good news, but why try hastily to use it to boost a stagging stock price? Their PR department needs to go back to the drawing board, if you ask me. |

Earnings equals revenues minus expenses, so the cash infusion from the IPO didn't affect earnings (except for the interest earned from investing this cash, although that amount would've been minimal). However, the IPO did affect earnings PER SHARE, because after the IPO there were more shares outstanding. Consider: 2Q99 net loss: $17.1 million, 72 cents per share. 2Q98 net loss: $11.8 million, $1.85 per share. While the EPS numbers make it seem like the company is moving toward profitability, they are actually digging a deeper and deeper hole. |

iVillage reported a second-quarter loss of 72 cents a share, a penny wider than the one-analyst estimate but narrower than the year-ago loss of $1.85. That seems pretty like the start of a positive trend, but was any of the decrease due to the infusion of cash from the ipo? (not really sure how the accounting works with ipos). |

Looks like the predictions of the earlier posters were right on the money. The stock has fallen from 100 in March/April to about 50 now. We're halfway to 0... |

Even worse - one of the lead underwriters rated the stock a "hold" (Lise Buyer, CS First Boston). This never happens. Underwriters always give buys or strong buys to the companies they take public. Run away. |

This company is a joke. Net margins of negative 200%. Enough said. |

As that article pointed out: With the coming merger of Hearst's HomeArts with the Women.com network, iVillage isn't even the biggest player in its narrowly defined space. According to Media Metrix figures for January, HomeArts and Women.com together has 3.78 million unique visitors, while iVillage has 3.15 million. |

Community site iVillage had a huge IPO last week. http://www.thestandard.net/articles/display/0%2C1449%2C3909%2C00.html |

Despite the red flags, the IPO was huge. $2 billion market cap / 3 million site visitors per month = $667 per monthly visitor. Anyone buying now should be committed. |

Another red flag: iVillage gets a lot of its traffic from AOL, but AOL recently invested in an iVillage competitor, Oxygen Media, so its relationship with iVillage is on shifting sand. |

Days before iVillage is scheduled to go public, a former chief financial officer has accused the company of inflating revenues. http://www.wired.com/news/news/business/story/18368.html |
