ThinkEquity cautious on ValuClick here I would call it ThinkEquity wasting your time here. While we feel the acquisitions are incrementally positive in the near term, as they should be strongly accretive and bolster/complement VCLKs direct marketing and e-commerce businesses, It seems they are saying that over the near term the stock should appreciate as a result of the acquisitions.... We are maintaining our Accumulate rating and 12-month price target of $13. $13 is more than 20% above the current stock price. Analysts are often a waste of time, especially the 2nd tier ones that cover the 2nd tier internet stocks (like VCLK). No reason to believe her/his opinion is better than mine, at least from that cut and paste. Internet advertising is growing around 30% per year, and VCKL is a pure play internet advertising stock trading around 20x. Do I need to do more analysis?
