Nov. 13, 2013 AOL shares hit highest point since spinoff
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- AOL Inc. AOL -0.02% shares jumped 4.5% Wednesday to $45.20, on track for their highest close since the company was spun off from Time Warner Inc. TWX +1.35% in late 2009. The Internet firm's shares have been on a hot streak, climbing for four consecutive sessions, and eight out of the past 10 days. That includes an 8.9% climb on November 5, when it reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenue
I learned a lot from another person who was kind enough
to teach me about the different SEC filings.
Remember, when a company files with the SEC to increase the number of authorized shares, it has the right to sell shares into the market to raise money. That's dilution.

Not sure if this will harm it's share price:

harr449, thank-you for sharing. I'm glad there are more knowledgeable investors such as yourself on here, that are willing to teach younger folks such as myself.
Don't get me wrong. I've made profits in stocks that I sold in previous yrs.
Just telling you about my bad experiences so hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes. Stocks that I still own are those.
harr449, those TA trading indicators just make my head spin. I can't wait to pick back up on the books and research that I left. It's too much to think about right now during school.
Mutual funds are good. I'll be getting a 401k here next summer I believe. I can't for my employer to finally give me this benefit. The past employer I had would not match what I put in, so I didn't bother. Other then that, at my age I have no interest in mutual funds. I'm working on an aggressive portfolio at the time. Though when I do receive my 401k benefit, the IRA itself will also need to be aggressive.
You don't seem to have done well in the stock market. Have you made any good investments besides your son's education?
ty. Watch support and resistance points for buying and selling.
Also Bollinger Bands.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AOL&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p10061109976
AOL resistance in the above chart is $43.82. It will take a lot of buying pressure to break thru resistance so may be a good selling point if you wished to take large profits.
Support is $41.52. If the price falls below support, stock may be in for further decline.
Bollinger Band Upper and Lower Limits are 30.88 and 43.92. Many times, the price will go above the Upper Limit but will later fall back below the UL. Not wise to buy when the price is above the UL. Examples are seen in late Oct. and early Nov.
Watch the moving averages. In this chart the exponential 5 and 10 day avgs. Good sign when 5 day crosses up and over 10 day; not a good sign when 5 day crosses down and over 10 day.
Other Simple moving averages that are key are 20 day, 50 day, and 200 day. Watch for price rises or declines as they cross over each other.
Like to watch Volume by Price in addition to Bollinger Bands sometimes. Gray (buying) and Red (selling) bar chart.
I'm deep in debt in penny stocks at the moment. Bought them years ago and still trying to dig my way out. Don't buy big board stocks any more. Rather invest in mutual funds (Fidelity).
harr449, I'll be following you for now on. I appreciate reading what you have to say.
harr449, well I mean this in the right way, but I hope you have learned your lesson. I learned after my first investment of roughly a 700% loss. For now on, I decide what price I want to exit if things go South or North, right after I bought the stock. I write it down everywhere for a constant reminder and look at it from time to time. The strategy I use now is set in stone, but the price changes accordingly for each stock I hold of course. I have a stop loss order of 4% if it goes under the entry price. I have a target exit price for 30% over entry price, this I use a trailing stop loss on quote once it hits 30%. For example, the Bank of America (BAC) I hold.
Price bought: $13.01
Exit for loss: $12.49 for 4% loss
Exit for profit: 16.91 for 30% initiating a 4% trailing stop loss on quote.
You must remember, it will sell for at least 26% profit once trailing stop loss on quote. Though it could also keep going more North. It's the best feeling locking in that profit and watching it. The hardest part for me, is that I'm mainly a value investor. If I buy a stock that's already under BVSP, then I ask myself, "Why should I sell?" This isn't necessarily bad, though one should realize if this is seriously detrimental to that stock. If it was technical investing, I might feel the same way. You know the underlying story (the charts), not worrying about the news you know it should go back up.
If it was a growth stock or any other, I feel it could be easier to pull out. Thankfully I haven't had to use the 4% for a loss exit strategy that I made yet. I believe even if it was a short term pullback, I would still sell for value investing or technical trading. I'd rather lose $14 trade fees than $14+ of an even larger loss.
Though back to your point. I usually notice the acquired company close with a price above what the acquiring company is offering. When that price is announced by the acquiring company, it's usually only within 5% of the price offered. I find it almost not worth the trade.
I like the side of the acquiring company. They usually see a bounce and plus they have a bigger business from acquiring. If I was in a stock being acquired before I knew about it, I wouldn't be disappointed. Though as I stated above, I wouldn't buy in at the last minute for a petty gain, personally.
In my experience, the acquired company usually sees it's stock price rise.
I suppose the buying company could see it's price rise if the deal was really sweet.
My only fault with big board stocks was not selling at the right time due to inexperience.
I remember Nortel Networks (NRTL"Q") price being $85 and I was up thousands of dollars. Price slowly declined into the $40 but I was still up. Bad news came out after the closing bell one day, it reopened at 4:30 for after hours trading at $20, my break even cost. Didn't sell believing it couldn't go lower.
Now they're a bankrupt company worth .01.
harr449, interesting. I understand now, thanks. You seemed to have gotten the bad end of these deals? I always interrupt that shareholders of the acquiring company get the better deal and the shareholders of the acquired company get the not so good deal. Though the last I checked, Time Warner (TWX) seemed to be doing well. I haven't taken a peak at it in quite some time.
TWX acquired AOL.
TWX thought it could benefit from some of AOL's intellectual properties. They didn't.
"The combination was meant to herald the future of content distribution via the Internet, but the promised benefits were never achieved and Time Warner executives gradually regained control of the business".
http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/11/16/us-aol-idUSTRE5AF5JT20091116
So, in 2009, TWX did a spinoff of AOL.
"Businesses wishing to 'streamline' their operations often sell less productive, or unrelated subsidiary businesses as spinoffs. The spun-off companies are expected to be worth more as independent entities than as parts of a larger business".
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/spinoff.asp
"On the distribution date of December 9, 2009, Time Warner stockholders of record as of 5 p.m. on November 27, 2009, the record date for the distribution, will receive one share of AOL common stock for every eleven shares of Time Warner common stock they hold".
http://corp.aol.com/2009/12/10/time-warner-declares-spin-off-dividend-of-aol-shares/
harr449, I understand now. I find it so strange that AOL acquired TWX, then later on TWX went it's separate way. Why was this exactly?
February 26 2009: For example, when AOL Time Warner dropped the AOL and became simply Time Warner, it changed its symbol from AOL to TWX.
http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/04/022004.asp
Later, TWX did a spinoff of AOL so now TWX and AOL both exist.
harr449, definitely. Especially around the first half of June in 2012. Though the same could be said for many stocks during that time. The last chart you posted looks very volatile. As with the other charts you posted, it seems you knew the next run was coming. I understand some technicals, but not enough to feel comfortable using it at this moment. I started learning before this semester of college, but had to put it to a halt being busy with school. I do hope to pick it back up one day, but it's probably the most difficult trading style to learn.
I will be sure to bookmark your post on technical indicators, as I believe it could be helpful. Thank-you for the "how to" links for SEC filings. I know how to read most of it, but there are still some things I don't understand. I'll be sure to read that when I find the time.
It shows on Nov. 27, 2009 that it was $23. The chart doesn't go any father. Can you explain this? Was AOL Inc. (AOL) one of the many internet companies that went private after the "dot bubble".
Goodnight, Gulley

Good luck, good nite.
I haven't watched AOL share price.
If I watched the charts closely, could have bought in 20's in 2012 and doubled my money.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AOL&p=D&yr=1&mn=6&dy=0&id=p73383463384
I invested heavily in AOL. Wasn't wise enough to sell.
Got shares of Time Warner after the buyout, then a small amount of shares of AOL upon the spinoff. Still losing heavily, on paper.
When I first invested in stocks, was good at buying but not selling. I now rely on analyzing charts to buy and sell.
My personal reference charts for different technical indicators. Don't rely on any one indicator.
Look at share price and indicators in these charts around October 20.
All 3 indicators crossed up and over 50 neutral line.

harr449, thank-you for the words of wisdom. I learned not to love a stock after my first investment. I believe I lost around 700%. I believe part of it was love, but for the most part I didn't know any better. Though keep holding on AOL Inc. (AOL) if you can. I believe it should be trading higher. I believe this stock should split. It's a decent growth stock. I personally wouldn't get in at these prices, but to each his own.
Words of wisdom, "Don't fall in love with a stock".
Anything can happen, especially after the market closes. When it reopens, market makers drop the price sharply.
harr449, well at least you got the forward splits! You're must be past break even, if you don't mind me asking? Same here, I believe I was 7 years old when we first got it. I remember getting on the landline and hearing that screeching noise realizing that someone was online, haha! Though I was way too young to remember the "dot.com" bubble in the market. However, I do remember all of the technology that came out at that age, like my old man buying and selling on Ebay (EBAY).
Dial-up was the primary internet access when I first bought AOL.
yep, tried to help my son reduce his college expenses.
Was up thousands on AOL, held, and lost.
Remember getting at least 2 forward splits.
harr449, you might have to knock the dust of them! I'm guessing you bought in after the "dot com" bubble? I forgot AOL was still around, haha! I remember the old dial up when I was a kid.
Hope you're right. Have 10+ yr. old shares I shoulda sold.
AOL is a diamond in the rough many forgot about, or better said, don't want to remember. Only 77 million shares outstanding and going in the right direction with its business. Plenty of room for pps increase and IMO could be near or over a hundred bucks a share by this time next year if not sooner. $350 a share is reasonable for long term imo if they hold strong and keep in this direction. That would put them at a worth of roughly 27 billion. There might be a split or two but the value will still be there. They were the giant that fell but guess what, its taken 4 years and they're getting back up. Obviously they aren't going away and taking on the industry head first with everything they have to take their place among the giants once again. Once worth 9 digits, I believe they will do it again in time. They are already up almost 200% in the last two years.
Ask yourself, if you owned AOL in a world where nobody computer service companies are bought up for a billion bucks a pop just to shut the doors on them to eliminate competition, would you sell AOL for not even three times that amount, 2.7 billion? That's what the market says it's worth. What is the price tag you would put on AOL if you were to sell it as a whole? 10, 20, 30, 100 billion?
Watch as they unfold their business plan. It will be awesome.
Q2 call transcript
The Devil network revenue grew double-digits year-over-year, now are reaching a 180 million monthly users in the United States of America with a Devil network
http://www.earningsimpact.com/Transcript/82592/AOL/Q2-2013-Earnings-Call
Q1 figures you gotta know before ER today
http://www.earningsimpact.com/Transcript/80610/AOL/AOL-Inc----Q1-2013-Earnings-Call
The stock is looking weak now as it has been falling for many days. The momentum is increasing because the volumes are rising. The last results have perhaps done more damage than anticipated. The confidence about the future outlook has become a little more negative. Some are pointing at weakening traffic stats which imply lesser possibilities of growth in the fundamentals. If it continues to fall, $30 will be the next target and that is still 15% away. Expectations for a good fundamental performance from Yahoo (YHOO) are higher and that is being thought as a better stock for 2013 compared to AOL. In fact, there were options strategies being floated which have called for selling $45 call for January 2015. This gives a sense of the future expectations from the stock. However, despite the corrections, the stock has delivered good returns for investors, especially if the dividend related to sale of licenses is taken into account. Licensing /monetizing of patents has changed the future of several companies and smaller companies like PLC Systems (PLCSF) are trying to optimize the value of proprietary technologies they possess. AOL recently closed sale of its digital music sites to Townsquare Media group for an undisclosed sum. Sites like The Boot, BoomBox, NoiseCreep and Comics Alliance have been sold. “Be On” (an AOL company), recently reported results of a survey which indicated that a majority of the online video spend in the last 12 months was coming from budgets earlier reserved for TV advertisements. The results of the survey indicated that there is growing awareness about the importance of internet as a rich brand medium. According to the survey, better audience targeting and measurement were the main reasons for increasing online video spend in the future. So the market for that segment may be increasing, but it remains to be seen how much AOL will be able to exploit the potential.
The results for Q1'13 were below estimates with the earnings per share being slightly lower than expectations. There was growth in advertising revenue for the first time in many years. The total revenues had grown by around 2% to $538 million, and the net income increased to $25.9 million (~23%). However, the stock crashed more than 10% on the earning and has managed to struggle thereafter. Now it is close to support levels of $34, but is not showing much strength. Some analysts are of the opinion that Yahoo may turnout to be a better bet for the current year than AOL. AOL has already delivered great returns, and the recent results have definitely dented sentiments. If the next earnings are also below estimates, then there is a strong possibility that many more analysts may start to turn negative on the stock. Yahoo recently purchased Tumblr which indicates its increasing focus in that space. If one looks at the fundamentals, the valuations for AOL are relatively attractive. But there have been some declines in AOL traffic stats which makes the future a little uncertain. UBS had recently put a target of $44 on the stock against the consensus of $42. That seems too steep after the earnings. While the short term trend may be a little subdued, the long term future depends on improving the fundamental position of the company. Last two years, the returns have been great with the sale for the licenses leading to a good dividend from the company. Many companies are now working hard to build and optimize the value of their patents / licenses. MGT Capital Investments (MGT) had recently filed a lawsuit against gaming companies which may have an award potential of $4.5 billion. For AOL, the next results will have lower expectations, and the company has to outperform that to help the stock regain some strength.
AOL continues to be under pressure due to the negative impact of the earnings. Consolidation and grinding could make it remain in a range for some time till there is a significant news flow to help it move out on either side. UBS had recently put a target of $44 on the stock against the consensus of $42. That is about 18-19% from current levels and will require support of the fundamentals to be achieved. The current valuations of the stock are reasonable and a few good earnings may make it come in favor of more brokerages. In the last quarter, lack of sequential growth dampened the sentiments. On yoy basis, the revenues had grown by 2% to $538 million and the net income had grown by 23% to $25.9 million. Cash from operations had doubled. While the short term trend may be flat to negative, the long term picture for the stock may be more positive. This is because the fall has improved the valuations, and the stock is attractive on this front. Future growth expectations are reasonable and company has been delivering on that front now. AOL has done well for investors with good capital appreciation over the last few years and a big one time dividend related to sale of licenses. Several companies are now realizing the value of their patents and the IPR monetizing business is booming. Spherix IP (SPEX) changed its business model to become a full service patent company and now owns several telcom patents also. The good part about AOL is that the expectations generated after the Q1 results have now subsided, and at least it will not have to battle on that front in the next quarter. But any major negative can change the fortunes pretty quickly. Currently, it may just survive after a bit of struggle.
The analysts were expecting some sequential growth in the earnings, and AOL was not able to deliver on that front. This led to a sharp correction, and now the stock is trying to recover. Goldman Sachs (GS) has increased the price target for AOL from $35 to $39 but maintained its neutral rating. GS expressed its confidence that AOL would accelerate growth in the second half of this year in the brand and ad tech businesses. Considering the progress being made in the cost rationalization it rated the stock as fairly valued. On a YoY basis, the results were not too bad. Revenue was up 2% to $538 million and the net income rose by 23% to $25.9 million. The earnings per share grew from $0.22 in Q1'12 to $0.32 (45% rise). The cash from operating activities increased from $19.9 million to $40.6 million (104% rise). On a QoQ basis, the revenues declined by 10% from $599.50 million in Q4'12 and the net income declined by 27% from $35.70 million. The fall after the earnings was on heavy volumes of nearly 4 million, but yesterday's recovery was also with decent volumes of 2 million shares. The next earnings better be good otherwise the damage may be more lasting. The investors have been rewarded in the last two years by more than 100% returns, and the dividend related to sale of licenses. Many small companies are also trying to optimize the value of their proprietary technologies through patenting / licensing / monetizing. A small medical device company PLC Systems (PLCSF) sold its successful product heart laser to concentrate on RenalGuard, a product it thought had more potential. PLCSF has subsequently been able to get several US and European patents related to the product. For AOL, the next few days will determine the short term movement of the stock. A probable scenario is that the stock may continue in a small range and consolidate before the next news flow / earnings.
The next trigger for AOL will be the earnings. Last time the earnings were great and the stock took off due to the positive sentiment. On May 8, 2013, when the earnings will be released for the first quarter, investors would like to see continued growth. That would establish the uptrend, and confidence in the stock will improve further. With analysts upgrading the stock, it seems that the good times are here to stay. Though there is some nervousness as the stock approaches the recent highs of ~$44, it is quite possible that good earnings may easily carry it over that hurdle. Despite the 68% growth over the last 52 weeks, the stock is still trading below 1.5 times book and the market cap to sales is 1.43. AOL has low debt on books and the operating profit margin is ~13.5%. Quarterly revenue growth was only 3.9% but the market cheered the fact that the company was able to show sequential growth after several years. AOL has been slowly becoming a preferred stock for investors. It has been able to sell its patents and negotiate infringement allegations tactfully. This is a great skill to have in a market like this when several smaller companies are always on the look out for opportunities to enforce their patent rights. An example is PLC Systems (PLCSF) which sold its successful product heart laser in 2011 to concentrate on building its patent portfolio for another more potential product RenalGuard. The company has recently got its first patent related to the product from European Patent Office. PLC System already has several US patents related to the product and hopes to prepare for commercialization soon. For AOL, hopefully the earnings will provide another leg to the excellent rally. Investors are hoping for that so that the good times can continue.
AOL has been on an uptrend since August 2011 when it was around $12 levels. In the last 52 weeks also, the stock has doubled from $18 levels in April 2012 to around $38 now. The recent results have supported the uptrend with the company reporting quarterly revenue growth for the first time in 8 years in Q4'12. The growth was driven by increase in global advertising revenue by 13%. The special cash dividend on $5.15 per share in December 2012 helped the stock regain momentum after it dropped to around $30. In addition, the company announced a $100 million share re-purchase plan over the next 12 months. In 2012, the corporate and other category included abnormal income from the sale and licensing of patents of $1,042 million (net of transaction costs) and patent and proxy contest expenses of $15.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively. In 2010, this category included $1.4 billion goodwill impairment charge leading to net loss during that year. Recently, several companies have become active in the patent monetization business, and companies like Marathon Patents Group (MARA) and MGT Capital Investments (MGT) have filed potentially multi-billon dollar patent infringement lawsuits against big companies like Sony, Dell etc. The recent positive triggers have made AOL stronger and it is likely that the uptrend continues. The 52 week high was made in November(~$43.93), and the stock is still far away from that. It is trading above its 50 DMA of ($37.13) and 200 DMA of $34.47. The volumes have also supported the recent uptrend. The fact that the 10 day average volume (1.73 million) is more than the 3 month average (1.59 million) makes it appear strong. A few more quarters of growth would surely strengthen this trend for AOL, and investors can hope to take advantage of positive fundamental surprises.
Barclays’s Laing how day know blab, blab, blab behind upgrade is what is below.
AOL overbought rating company are upgrading AOL because AOL is low volume stack they fear big market correction so day are upgrading AOL so day can upload all those big share they accumulate what they can’t upload at low volume remember sell on news buy on rumor for every share somebody buy some body sales and who are sailing rating company and big investor and found manager who is buying sucker new investor that don’t know better and are buying on news instead selling. So regular investor gets out on time and look for cover. Good luck.

AOL Announces Expiration of Dutch Auction Tender Offer
AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL) (“AOL” or the “Company”) announced today the expiration as scheduled of its modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer for the repurchase of up to $400 million in value of shares of its common stock. AOL also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a $550 million stock repurchase program.
AOL’s modified Dutch auction tender offer expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on August 2, 2012. Based on the preliminary count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the tender offer, a total of 292,435 shares of AOL’s common stock was properly tendered at or below the final purchase price of $30.00 per share and not properly withdrawn. Prior to the tender offer and since August 2011, AOL has repurchased 14.8 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $14.11 per share for cumulative repurchases of approximately $209 million.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, and based on the preliminary count by the depositary, AOL expects to accept for purchase 292,435 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $30.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.8 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer. The 292,435 shares expected to be purchased in the tender offer represent approximately 0.31% of AOL’s currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Following the expiration of the tender offer, AOL’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $550 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time by the end of 2012 and re-authorized the repurchase of the remaining $40.8 million from the Company’s initial $250 million stock repurchase program announced in August 2011. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and other factors. The repurchases may be made on the open market, via pre-arranged trading plans, accelerated share repurchase plans, in block trades or otherwise and may include derivative transactions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Company share repurchases under the repurchase program will begin in accordance with applicable Securities Exchange Commission tender offer rules.
“Our strong operational and financial performance is translating into long-term value creation for our shareholders,” said Tim Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of AOL. “We continue to focus on executing our strategy and improving our operations, and remain committed to returning 100% of the patent transaction proceeds to shareholders by year-end.”
“We will continue to be disciplined and prudent stewards of shareholders’ capital and the new repurchase authorization allows us to maximize our flexibility in that regard,” said Artie Minson, COO and Acting CFO of AOL. “As we have previously communicated, we will approach the return of the patent transaction proceeds in multiple steps and potentially through several methods, and we will do so in a manner which we believe will drive value for shareholders while preserving the value of AOL’s substantial tax assets. We are confident that given the different alternatives of returning the patent transaction proceeds to shareholders that we can return 100% of the proceeds by year-end 2012 without affecting our valuable tax attributes.”
Allen & Company LLC is the dealer manager for the tender offer. The information agent for the tender offer is Georgeson Inc. and the depositary is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

AOL will mark its 25th anniversary in 2010.
The company was founded in 1985 as Quantum Computer Services and launched its first online service – Q-LINK – on the Commodore 64 the same year. The name “America Online” was originally proposed in an employee contest and the company officially became America Online, Inc., commonly called AOL, in 1991. In 2006, the company officially changed its name to AOL and began offering its content and services free of charge to Web users.
The AOL Running Man was introduced in 1996 when the icon was featured in the sign on process for the AOL service and then became the icon for AIM in 1997. In 2009, the Running Man was inducted into the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame and was also recognized in the Advertising Icon Museum.
