Assuming $75 Million in 2005 revenues.
Assuming $9 Million in 2005 operating profit.

At $12 per share their current 2005 PROJECTED ratios:

Price to Sales: 4
Price to Book: 6
P/E: 33

The ratios based on TRAILING 12 months are:

Price to sales: 10
Price to Book: 10+/-
P/E: 100 +/-

As you can see the market is looking ahead. Based on the trailing ratios a case could be made that it is a $6 or $7 stock. BUT, looking out one year the case could be made that it is worth a MINIMUM of $12 in 2005.

In one year the market MAY be looking at a possible $135+ Million revenue company in 2006. At that time Marchex will most likely have a greater following, a longer track record, etc. An expansion of the ratios would most likely be in order (depending on the overall market conditions at the time).

Thus, in September/October of 2005 - projecting out to 2006 a $135 Million revenue company with $25 Million in operating profits (18% operating margins):

Price to sales of 6
Price to book of 8
P/E of 40

Assuming 35 to 38 Million shares outstanding these ratios would mean a stock price of $22 to $28 per share in one year.
