ATRN: Billion Dollar Peers...

Guys, I am liking again that ATRN is mentioned with BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES IN THEIR SAME INDUSTRY with todays third party PR..:

"Online Spending Skyrockets -- Atrinsic and Sina Poised to Benefit"

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=51130837


Again: how often does this happen to any Penny Stock? Or for that matter even below a dollar stock? Atrinsic last week was found out to be the second best online ad company in terms of Revenue Per Employee against the Clear Channels and Lamar ad giants of the world - and their BILLION DOLLAR market caps...:


"Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings is Among the Companies in the Advertising Industry With the Highest Revenue Per Employee (CCO, ATRN, NCMI, ARB, LAMR)

Below are the three companies in the Advertising industry with the highest Revenue Per Employee (RPE). Analysts use RPE as a measure to compare the productivity of companies in the same industry.

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings ranks highest with a an RPE of $1.5 million. Following is Atrinsic with a an RPE of $817,000. National CineMedia ranks third highest with a an RPE of $721,000.

Arbitron follows with a an RPE of $435,000, and Lamar Advertising rounds out the top five with a an RPE of $374,000."


Heres a post where I show all these companies and their market caps that our little ATRN Hobbit lol was compared to last week:

But lets look into SINA a bit more: 


SINA has around a $4 BILLION lol market cap, and a 60 million float.

ATRN has a $16 million market cap (lol!), and probably about a 95 to 100 million float.

SINA had a high of $147.12 last year...

ATRN had a high of $7.68 last year...

SINA reported what kind of Q3 2011? :

"SINA Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=8237673

 
SHANGHAI, China—November 8, 2011— SINA Corporation (NASDAQ GS: SINA), a leading online media company and mobile value-added service (“MVAS”) provider serving China and the global Chinese communities, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
Third Quarter 2011 Highlights:
 
·           Net revenues grew 20% year over year to $130.3 million.  Non-GAAP net revenues grew 21% year over year to $125.6 million, reaching the high end of the Company’s guidance of between $123 million and $126 million.
 
·           Advertising revenues grew 25% year over year to a historical high of $101.0 million, within the Company’s guidance of between $100 million and $102 million.

Brand advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $101.0 million, compared to $81.0 million for the same period last year. For the third quarter, SINA’s online brand advertising revenues reached a new high, for the first time exceeding over $100 million per quarter,” Mr. Chao added.


...and here is what SINA expects its Q4 2011 revenues to be:

 
"SINA estimates that its non-GAAP net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 will be between $128 million and $131 million, with advertising revenues to be between $103 million and $105 million and non-GAAP non-advertising revenues to be between $25 million and $26 million.  Non-GAAP net revenues and non-GAAP non-advertising revenues exclude the recognition of $4.7 million in deferred license revenue related to SINA’s equity investment in CRIC.


...here is what they did Q4 2010 btw

http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=7782386


"Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights
•   Net revenues grew 12% year over year to $110.0 million. Non-GAAP net revenues grew 12% year over year to $105.0 million, within the Company’s guidance between $103 million and $106 million.
 
•   Advertising revenues and non-GAAP advertising revenues grew 30% year over year to a record $82.5 million, reaching the high end of the Company’s guidance between $81 million and $83 million."


SINA expects their online advertising revenue to grow by over $20 million in Q4 2011....!

.........................................

...and we all know what Atrinsic, THE ONLY COMPANY BEING MENTIONED WITH SINA IN THIS ARTICLE, did in Q3 2011 - a similar GROWTH story - but even bigger gain percentage wise....with oh so much room above to grow lol


"Transactional Service segment revenues increased $4.9 million, or 100%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Transactional revenue is principally derived from our search marketing agency business, which consists of targeted and measurable online campaigns and programs for advertisers to generate qualified customer leads, sales transactions, or increased brand recognition.  The increase in revenue was primarily related to sales volume improvement from existing clients as well as new client acquisitions during the third quarter. The increase was offset by the restructuring of our lead generation business in which we eliminated a number of unprofitable (on a gross margin basis) revenue lines.  As a result of this restructuring, the bulk of our Transactional revenue now consists of revenue generated from our search marketing agency business, together with higher yielding marketing campaigns."

....and ATRN trades @ .16 cents.....

.16 measly cents, that because of the run-up we think is getting high. ATRN, a company without money-losing Kazaa for the first time in 3 years, and a company aggressively looking to attack the market with their new and proprietary Atrinsic Spyder, is so ridiculously cheap imo at these levels that its amazing. SINA could buy ATRN just with the interest from their $700 million plus cash reserves lol!

And we do have a potential 'Wow Factor' too...extremly so: IF Spyder turns out to indeed be something UNIQUE, NEEDED, and WANTED - in a growing online ad world that is the reality of todays market....who knows where the pps could end up?

So go ahead and sell some and do what you have to do but imo hold some at least until we get feedback and progress reports on Spyders launch....or the Q4 2011 numbers....
