Public Host Values Up Does it Translate To Private

Reference | by Tom Millitzer

It’s a good tday to visit your banker. Rackspace had a great announcement…overall the web hosting and data center related stocks are doing well.

Here is a quick look at some very quick research:

Stock:                               Jan 2 2009     Nov18, 2009      YTD Gain

Rackspace – RAX                        $5.38         $19.12            257%

Navisite- NAVI                             $0.50          $1.95            405%

Web.com- WWWW                      $3.59          $6.40              75%

DJ DOW                                                                               94%

Stocks Compared To DOW

Vs. DOW not Specific Stock increase as noted above. (Chart: Google Finance)

As you can see both RAX and NAVI have eclipsed the major index and NAVI is tracking well.

As bankers and investors usually look at the current quarter this is a good time to take advantage of the hype I am not touting, these stocks have preformed well.

So are private hosting companies thinking their values have just added 300% valuation this year? You wish.  Almost always there is a large discrepancy between pricate and public values. But many private web hosting sector firms (WHIR Firms)  have most likely experienced and uptick. When public companies purchase private companies they like to use stock, after all it is not cash. As the stock price goes up they can afford to give you more shares that does not dilute the stock price.

Now show this to your banker and rent some money for expansion.
