Zynga to partner with Disney for new 'Star Wars' mobile game
MarketWatch

MarketWatchAugust 21, 2018
Zynga Inc. (znga) has signed a deal with Walt Disney Co. (dis) to develop and publish a new "Star Wars" mobile game, the company said late Tuesday. Disney stock was flat. The terms of the deal include an option for Zynga to produce another "Star Wars" title and assume the operation of the live service of "Star Wars: Commander," a free-to-play game launched in 2014.
Guys! I Trust Seeking Alpha !!!!!!!!!
Summary
Recent Q2 earnings and lower than expected guidance resulted in Facebook shares going down 20%, an overdone reaction.
Management is likely being conservative in their guidance with investors being especially harsh to shares over the past few months.
Good case valuation assumes historical average earnings multiples with significant room for Facebook to run.
Bad case valuation assumes all fundamentals deteriorate and Facebook begins to trade at legacy tech company multiples.
Almost every investor knows about the origins of Facebook (FB) and the story of Mark Zuckerberg. However, after reporting a weaker than expected Q2 earnings and softer outlook, investors were quick to pull money off the table as FB shares plummeted 20%. Though growth appears to be decelerating at a quicker pace than expected with expenses rising faster than revenues, this pullback in FB presents a great opportunity for investor to jump in on the name.
Just earlier this year, FB was caught up in the Cambridge Analytica debacle which ultimately led Zuckerberg to speak in front of the US Courts. During this period, FB stock saw a near 20% decline as investor were fearful of user growth and potential red flags stemming from user privacy concerns. However, over the next few weeks, FB fully recovered and was actually up over 15% from pre-Cambridge news. This Q2 earnings pullback presents a very similar opportunity for investors to build their position as FB now trades much more in line with legacy technology companies and still has significant room to run.
Hope You Guys Bought At These Bargain Prices !!!!
Seeking Alpha Summary:
Facebook stock plummeted over 20% after reporting Q2 earnings.
While the results weren't as stellar as in the past, the deficits to analysts' revenue and user growth expectations were very minor.
The comment that scared investors off was the CFO's prediction that revenue growth rates would continue to decelerate in the "high single-digit percentages" in Q3 and Q4.
However, Facebook is likely being extremely conservative and has plenty of opportunity to regain momentum.
Its valuation metrics, especially on a forward earnings basis, still look incredibly attractive.
Let's cut to the chase: I'm taking advantage of the steep drop in Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares to load up my position. While Facebook is a stock that has tested investors' faith multiple times this year (perhaps too many times for comfort), buying the dip on this one-of-a-kind social media giant has always been a winning investment strategy.

Wells Fargo boosts Facebook on Instagram monetization
Jul. 2, 2018 1:15 PM ET|About: Facebook (FB)|By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor
Wells Fargo has raised its price target on Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), pointing to the revenue opportunity from fast-growing Instagram Stories.
Analyst Ken Sena has boosted his target to $250 from $230, implying 29% upside.
While the Stories feature that Instagram largely cribbed from Snapchat makes up 30% of sharing on Facebook's various platforms, it's monetized at (adjusted) about 25% of the rate of the Instagram feed, Sena says: "We believe this monetization gap stands to close quickly." (h/t Bloomberg)

Summary
Facebook's stock has surged by about 33% since the buying opportunity following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. But despite the run-up Facebook remains very cheap.
The company is set to expand revenues nearly 10 fold, from $7.8 billion in 2013 to an estimated $72 billion in 2019, an average annual growth rate of about 50%.
The company also has various businesses capable of securing significant user growth going forward, and Facebook essentially has a monopoly in social networking.
Despite the company's remarkable growth and dominant market position the stock is currently trading at only 20 times next year's earnings, possibly even cheaper.
This suggests Facebook shares have significant upside potential from here, likely about 50% over the next year.
This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Albright Investment Group .

Bloomberg: Instagram estimated worth $100B
Jun. 25, 2018 7:42 PM ET|By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor
Instagram is estimated to be worth more than $100B if it were a stand-alone, Bloomberg data suggests.
Would that make it Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) best investment? It would be a 100-bagger return for the company, which paid $1B for Instagram in 2012.
Instagram revenue is likely to edge past $10B over the next 12 months and it could account for about 16% of Facebook revenue in that span, up from a year-ago 10.6%, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts say.

Zynga Inc. ZNGA is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company is seeing favorable trends on the moving average crossover front. Recently, the 50 Day Moving Average for ZNGA broke out above the 200 Day Simple Moving Average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
This has already started to take place, as the stock has moved higher by 7.1% in the past four weeks. Plus, the company currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) suggesting that now could definitely be the time for this breakout candidate.
More bullishness may especially be the case when investors consider what has been happening for ZNGA on the earnings estimate revision front lately. No estimates have gone lower in the past two months, compared to 4 higher, while the consensus estimate has also moved higher too.
So given this move in estimates, and the positive technical factors, investors may want to watch this breakout candidate closely for more gains in the near future. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

On CNBC a guest said he can't see how big media isn't watching what's going on in mobile gaming. TV network viewing is down 12% this year while gaming is booming. After the decision by the courts on Time Warner this person suggested that mobile gaming space could heat up by acquisitions from big media.

OTR Global reverts to positive on Facebook
Jun. 5, 2018 1:39 PM ET|About: Facebook (FB)|By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is still seeing strong ad performance, OTR Global says in upgrading to a positive view and reversing its quick post-privacy-scandal concerns.
Display ad spending growth is on the rise, and worries about the phase-out of third-party data providers have become mostly a non-issue, analyst Claudia Geller says. (h/t Bloomberg)
Shares are flat today after retesting their all-time high this morning ($195.32, hit on Feb. 1).
Overseas, the EU's top court has ruled that while Facebook's European headquarters are in Ireland, its privacy issues can be regulated in Germany. A case brought before the new GDPR privacy-protection rules came into effect has concluded with German oversight over "fan pages" operated by Facebook users.
The new GDPR provides that the lead privacy authority is where a company has its headquarters.

Taken From Seeking Alpha................
There is only one catalyst I can think of
As you probably know, the Federal ban on sports betting was overruled recently. British bookmakers like William Hill (OTCPK:WIMHF) will be looking to expand in the U.S. after this decision. The question is, who else might venture in the space?
While bookmaking is not the same as online poker, nevertheless ZNGA might attempt to venture in the space. Several years ago the company almost ventured into the real money games, so it might attempt again now that this time it would be legal.
And while we do not have any indication that the company might venture into sports betting, it is something that might be a catalyst and will give ZNGA shares a whole new spin.
Bottom line
I do not consider ZNGA's result such that warrant buying its shares at current prices. The company needs to increase profitability substantially to get my interest, and it does not seem that profitability will increase anytime soon.
Getting in the sports betting space might be a catalyst, but the company is still very far from making such a decision.
At the current valuation, and talking into account guidance, I will give the market the benefit of the doubt and say ZNGA shares trade at around fair value. But fair value is not a buy in my book.
