Analyst Gordon Hodge told CBS.MarketWatch that he views the stock as a good buy due to the recent acquisitions made to boost its presence in the local website market. He says Ticketmaster's CitySearch service has "a very good shot at chipping away from local newspaper classified advertising." Ticketmaster also bought CityAuction, a leading local internet auction site which should also contribute to its revenue, according to Hodge. Lastly, the company has expanded its stake in the local online personals market through acquisitions of match.com and oneandonly.com.
