FB: Facebook (FB -1.5%) underperforms after...

9:58 AM Facebook (FB -1.5%) underperforms after Barron's argues once again the social networking giant is overvalued. However, this time, they're suggesting a valuation of ~$25/share, whereas last September (when Facebook was near its lows), the paper argued $15/share. Slumping PC ad sales, heavy spending, ad quality issues, and a valuation of 50x 2013E EPS are some of its reasons. Whereas Google is trying to innovate, "Facebook seems more focused on barraging subscribers with ads to meet Street profit expectations," says Barron's. Mark Zuckerberg would likely beg to differ.

IBM: Big Blue Was Battered And Bruised, But Isn't Down For The Count

Big Blue Was Battered And Bruised, But Isn't Down For The Count
by Black Coral Research

The last few weeks have not been kind to IBM. As recently as April 17, the blue-chip computer systems giant had seen its stock up by 8.6% in the year-to-date - certainly not spectacular given the almost 11% gain in the Dow (of which IBM is a component) - but very competitive vis-à-vis the return of the 8.1% on the S&P 500. read more »
