Taking the path of least resistance Exchange wins on horizon for B2B Among the business-to-business and infrastructure stocks making strides were Commerce One and Ariba. Analysts expect such so-called B2B companies to report solid third-quarter results and foresee both Commerce One and Ariba announcing major e-marketplace wins. Both companies will be holding user conferences in a couple of weeks. Commerce One gained $7.81, or 12.5 percent, to $70.50, while Ariba gained $5.69, or 3.6 percent, to $161.88. "We're continuing to see the sentiment shift back into B2B because there are the expectations of a strong third quarter," said Ian Toll, an analyst at CS First Boston. "The catalyst for some of these stocks is new customer wins, particularly with Commerce One," he said. Commerce One (CMRC: news, msgs) kicks off a three-day user conference in Las Vegas on September 18. "Many believe that Commerce One and SAP have won several industry consortiums," he added. There have been about 80 consortiums formed, but 30 have yet to choose a technology vendor, he added. Ariba (ARBA: news, msgs) holds its user conference in Miami at the same time, and Toll expects big announcements from Ariba as well. cbs.marketwatch.com
