Oh, did I tell you that US BANCORP PIPER JAFFRAY initiated coverage with an "Aggressive
Strong Buy Rating." Check out this series of comments from Piper Jaffray's Hany Nada....
<<-The market for one-to-one customer relationships is explosive since it is the key differentiating
advantage of Internet-based marketing as well as the main competitive weapon for the growing
number of online businesses. We believe this market will track, at a minimum, the growth of
e-commerce revenues, projected to increase 90% between 1999 and 2002. We estimate that Net
Perceptions currently has over 70% market share in off-the-shelf real-time recommendation
solutions for online businesses.
-Net Perceptions has leveraged its core recommendation platform to create several vertical
applications including e-commerce and call center solutions, while expanding its market to traditional
channels and offering one-to-one marketing across multiple customer touch-points into the
enterprise. The scaleable core architechture allows the Company to expand into several vertical
markets, providing significant growth opportunities.
-Instead of relying on a single algorithm, NETP's solutions are based on a set of highly advanced
technologies that together provide the most accurate predictive recommendations in the industry. The
flexibility of the recommendation system makes the solutions suitable for a number of vertical
applications, from e-commerce to knowledge management.
-NETP's customer base has increased from 8 in 1Q98 to over 60 at the end of last year and
includes many of the top Internet names such as CD Now, Egghead.com, iVillage, Broadcast.com,
and Ticketmaster.com. The company also has partnerships with the leading providers of e-business
solutions such as IBM, Vignette, Broadvision, and Allaire.
-Net Perceptions is currently trading at a 23x multiple of our estimated FY00 revenues of $19.9
million. While this is a high multiple by traditional standards, the vast potential opportunity in the
Internet economy combined with strong investor interest in owning Internet stocks has made such
valuations irrelevant. We note that companies in Net Perceptions' comparable group, the Internet
Infrastructure Technology, trade as high as 50x CY 00 revenues and we see no reason why NETP
would not trade in the same way. Furthermore, we believe Net Perceptions could receive a
significantly higher valuation if its solutions become widely adopted across multiple touch points in the
enterprise, in both online and traditional channels, thus creating a new marketing paradigm for many
types of businesses.>> |
