Below is an excerpt from Ticker Research's report:
"We are initiating our coverage with a Speculative Buy rating and a price target of $1.40 (12-month) due to an exceptional performance in last two quarters and positive outlook moving forward. The company has been outperforming its peers and has been building its portfolio, increasing its focus on the lucrative digital and mobile markets. Its diversified website portfolio makes the company desirable for advertisers. Its strong balance sheet provides investors some real fundamental value. The growth of the digital advertising industry as well as their entrance into the mobile app industry, gives SPYR a strong growth horizon."
"Online ad sales continue to register double-digit percentage growth year over year. In 2013, online ad sales rose 17 percent to $42.8 billion up from $26 billion in 2010 and only $9.6 billion in 2004. In the U.S., the total digital advertising spend alone will rise to more than $52 billion in 2015 and will climb to more than $61 billion by 2017. It is numbers like this that explain why the transition by SPYR into the digital publishing space makes a whole lot of sense.
Digital advertisers promote products and brands over electronic media using online sites with brand recognition and inviting content. For SPYR, this will mean monetizing its nine online brands and others it may acquire using the relationships that Franklin Networks has established with advertising partners.
Consumers will access SPYR's websites and the advertising of its partners using personal computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets, which is very appealing to advertisers. This appeal should make this new direction for SPYR a big win for its investors."
There's a couple other companies benefiting from this digital and mobile growth:
MeetMe(R) (MEET) is the leading social network for meeting new people in the US and the public market leader for social discovery (MEET).
