(PR NEWSWIRE)Credit Suisse First Boston Initiates Coverage on CMGI With a Buy Rating PALO ALTO, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by Credit Suisse First Boston, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, CRD number 816: Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group analyst David Dusenbury initiated coverage today on CMGI, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMGI) with a Buy rating and a price target of $55. (Photo: newscom.com ) CMGI is a large and diverse network of global Internet companies that leverages the technologies, content and market reach of its family of companies to foster synergies across its network. Dusenbury believes as the company transitions into a new economy operating company with ten key subsidiaries the two key areas to benefit will be the completion of the company's wireless platform and the assembling of a global content distribution network (CMGion). "In addition there are several external factors that we believe will have beneficial impact on the company's valuation, most notably the reopening of the IPO market," Dusenbury stated. He adds, "This reopening has raised the possibility of future liquidity events and raises the possibility that investors will be able to more easily mark to market the company's underlying assets most likely providing a lift to its valuation."
