This is from Piper Jaffray, B2B Analyst. As Doc related, defining when profit happens is still the key. Check how well driv compares in revenues and sales, but fails miserably in price comparison. I still think that driv is a long term player in the b2b marketplace, as well as the software download aspect. I went to 95% cash on Friday, and should have cleaned everything up before, sitting through this downturn with internet and tech stocks was very painful. This is not going away anytime soon,like downtimes have before. Driv may still have its time, but it will have to define its gameplan and profitability further. The comparison is favorable and maybe as investors research the companies driv will come out more favorable.
IV. B2B Comp Chart
The chart of comparable B2B e-commerce companies below provides an overview
of the different types of players in the universe and how the stocks are
performing relative to their peers. Given the B2B Index's recent
performance, it is no surprise that across the board these companies are
trading at deep discounts to their 52-week highs and at greatly reduced
price/revenue multiples.
