By Dean Tomasula

Looking for a play in Internet stocks? Analysts and investment banks contributing research to Multex.com have identified the most followed companies this week among The Internet Analyst's universe of 150 stocks:

The shares of USWEB/CKS (USWB) are rated STRONG BUY-SPECULATIVE, with a 12-month price target of $50. Dain Rauscher Wessels said there is no fundamental reason for the stock's weakness, and that it creates a "compelling buying opportunity." The brokerage forecasts EPS for 1999 of $0.45 and EPS of $0.70 for 2000. It also said it expects the company to post an excellent June quarter, marked by solid momentum in hiring, strong organic revenue growth and improving operational efficiencies. Dain Rauscher said it is projecting 11% sequential revenue growth this quarter. There were 25 new reports about USWEB/CKS added to the Multex.com database last week. In May, research about the company was accessed 30 times.

Volpe Brown Whelan rates the shares of EARTHWEB (EWBX) a STRONG BUY and is maintaining its price target of $68.The brokerage forecasts a loss for 2Q99 of $1.15 per share and a loss for 3Q99 of $0.92 per share. For 1999, the brokerage expects the company to report a loss of $3.68 per share. That figure is expected to decline to a loss of $2.28 per share for 2000.
