GENE DANIEL2 DAYS AGO
ZYNGA INC. (NASDAQ:ZNGA) IS AN INTERESTING STOCK AT PRESENT. NOW TRADING WITH A MARKET VALUE OF 3.47B,
the company has a mix of catalysts and obstacles that spring from the nature of its operations. In light of the many issues surrounding this company, we thought it was a good time to take a close look at the numbers in order to form a realistic perspective on the fundamental picture for this stock.

ZYNGA INC. (NASDAQ:ZNGA) FUNDAMENTALS THAT MATTER

It’s generally a good idea to start with the most fundamental piece of the picture: the balance sheet. The balance sheet health of any company plays a key role in its ability to meet its obligations and maintain the faith of its investment base. For FOR ZNGA, THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS 525.94 MILLION OF CASH ON THE BOOKS. The trend over time is important to note. In this case, the company’s debt has been growing. The company also has 1.93 billion in total assets, balanced by 298.17 million in total liabilities, which should give you a sense of the viability of the company under any number of imagined business contexts.

Zynga Inc. (ZNGA) saw 32.35 million in free cash flow last quarter, representing a quarterly net change in cash of -221.72 million. Perhaps most importantly where cash movements are concerned, the company saw about 35.09 million in net operating cash flow.

ZYNGA INC. (NASDAQ:ZNGA) REVENUE GROWTH POTENTIAL

As far as key trends that demonstrate something of the future investment potential of this stock, we need to take a closer look at the top line, first and foremost. Last quarter, the company saw 224.6 MILLION IN TOTAL REVENUES. THAT REPRESENTS A QUARTERLY YEAR/YEAR CHANGE IN REVENUES OF 0.23 IN SEQUENTIAL TERMS, the ZNGA saw sales decline by 0.07.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE? AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHAT REALLY MATTERS in the end. Zynga Inc. (ZNGA) is intriguing when broken down to its core data. THE COST OF SELLING GOODS LAST QUARTER WAS 65.91 MILLION, YIELDING A GROSS BASIC INCOME OF 158.69 MILLION. For shareholders, given the total diluted outstanding shares of 893.68 million, this means OVERALL EARNINGS PER SHARE OF 0.02. Note, this compares with a consensus analyst forecast of 0.01 in earnings per share for its next fiscal quarterly report.

If we consider a median price to earnings ratio on the stock, THAT CORRESPONDS WITH A STOCK PRICE OF 33.30. However, one should always remember: the trends are more important than the forecasts. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN INTERESTING STORY, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO UPDATING IT AGAIN SOON ON ZYNGA INC..
