CMGI Shows The Signs Of Life...
Buy the dips....don't chase.

CMGI shares jumped for the second straight session Thursday, up 26 cents, or 13.54%, to $2.18 @ a new 52-week high, in heavy trading. That's a nice gain, but a far cry from the company's stratospheric levels during the Internet bubble. It traded above $153 in January 2000 but was below $1 over the summer of 2006.

In the company's second quarter, which ended Jan. 31, sales gained a modest 1.9%, to $324.7 million from $318.8 million a year earlier, but CMGI went from a loss of $6.3 million to a net profit of $35.8 million, or 7 cents a share. Of particular interest to investors, the company's gross margin rose significantly, to 12.5% from 9.5% in the previous year, indicating it is increasing the profits it makes on each dollar of sales.

CMGI attributed that improvement to "strong volumes in Asia from certain higher-margin programs, improved work mix in the Americas and new business wins and productivity gains in Europe."

For the current financial year, CMGI said it expected sales of $1.0 billion, which would be a little less than the $1.1 billion of last year. But it expects its gross margin to improve from last year's 9.9%.


The way CMGI stock has been running harkens investors back to the days before the dot.com bubble burst at the dawn of the new millennium.
CMGI stock, a hot ticket in the late 1990s into early 2000, got a mega boost this week from a healthy earnings report, hopeful guidance and a positive news story.

About time...
One of thee few dot.com still around, and becoming profitable.......
CMGI is not the only Internet dinosaur whose shares are perking up. Internet Capital Group (nasdaq: ICGE), whose stock traded above $4,000 on a split-adjusted basis at the height of the Internet craze and as low as $3 thereafter, is now trading at about $10.70. Safeguard Scientifics (nyse: SFE), an $80 stock in 2000 and an 80-cent stock in 2002, has crept up to the $3 range amid improved prospects for its incubating holdings.

Analyst last night said it could be 3 bucks within the next few days.

Thoughts?

A Dot.Com Flameout "Catches Fire Again !"
Will CMGI be the perfect turnaround story of 2007?
Great financials.......Way undervalued vs peers.
in recent quarters CMGI shows promise with approximately 100M in annual profit consistently, NO debt and an interesting shift into the biofuels and up-coming needs sectors.


From Barrons 3-26-06

After a 66% jump this year in CMGI shares, is there any upside left? We think so. CMGI may be a cheap bet that there's value in the electronics supply chain. With $1 billion in sales over the past 12 months, $275 million of cash and $2 billion of net operating tax-loss carry-forwards, the company may even be an attractive take-out target for freight giants such as FedEx (FDX) or United Parcel Service (UPS).

"As [CMGI] improves its gross profit and operating profit, this is a business whose sales can rise by 20% or more a year," says Stimson.

What's more, CMGI still invests in young companies, which nowadays consist of alternative-energy start-ups. And proceeds from selling companies in its portfolio continue to be a big contributor to cash flow from quarter to quarter.

I expect CMGI to go up substantially next week. The company will report 4Q and FY 2007 earnings  on Tuesday and I believe the stock will go up because guidance going forward will be strong based on the recent contracts won. CMGI is profitable with 60c/share cash, 5c/share debt, and trading at 0.7 P/S and about 10 forward P/E.

alexxxtreme

Furthermore, CMGI posted a loss for 4Q 2006 and I expect them to post a profit on Tuesday for 4Q 2007. FY 2007 net income will be 4 times higher than for 2006.

teccnically, CMGI's chart look very bullish.
