Robertson Stephens Upgrades TMCS to a Strong Buy Rating
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1999--Robertson Stephens Internet Analyst Michael Graham today upgraded Ticketmaster Online - CitySearch, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMCS) to a Strong Buy rating from a Buy. CitySearch creates and delivers local-city guides on the Web, while offering online-ticket sales through TicketMaster Online.
"We are upgrading TicketMaster - CitySearch to a Strong Buy rating from a Buy," said Graham. "We believe the stock is undervalued, while all signs point towards the company extending its lead as the number one provider of local Web content and services exploiting a $50 billion market."
"We believe the company is deliberately building a high-end local eCommerce network," said Graham. "While City Guide growth is not as fast as some Web models, we believe the company has just begun to demonstrate the possibilities for increased-commerce activities, where users can effectively manage their local lives online. This was recently demonstrated by City Search's new `Reservations Center,' which enables local users to make restaurant reservations and golf tee times on-line. As these services roll out, we see prospects for accelerated revenue and user growth and higher stock values and believe the company will return to previous highs around $80."
