If this goes for IPO then a number of Wall Street Analyst are going to have to do some research on the subject. They are going to be given the task of getting their heads around our Industry. They may come to the conclusion that this particular venture won't fly, but they will find out where revenue comes from and where it goes and how to assess domain value. Once they have done that there is going to be much more interest in the kinds of assets we are all holding. This could be good.

Credit Suisse is a top tier technology bank. This says lots for the industry. ***FS*** Actually, that 'is' the story. More of this coming.. Deals don't usually get announced in Summer..

They earned some investment income and have some sort of tax loss carryforward, so their net income number isn't that relevant. I should note also that the IPO is to raise up to $100M; the value of the company would be much higher. ***FS*** I don't understand how they sustain revs/traffic. but seems like a big valuation for machine in full motion. Not a boatload of obvious/low hanging latent value Some follow up to your financial questions: Last year they did $85M revenue and about $17M income from operations.
