Why I'm Leery of Monster
MWW
+29.99%
in
586 days
<>Yesterday on TickerHound.com, a member asked: "What do you think about Monster.com?".<!--more-->
I haven't thought about this company for a long time. But once I started to really take stock of our current economic climate and Monster's business model, I began to see why I needed to tell all my friends to doublecheck their portfolios and make sure they weren't holding onto any shares of this one.
Monster Worldwide (MNST) is one of the world's largest online job databases. The company is one of the few successful holdouts of the dot-com era, and performed rather well after the market began ...

Monster: Higher Expenses + Weak Domestic Revenues = Uncertainty
MWW
-35.59%
in
614 days
3/19 - "While we had anticipated a skew in the quarterly pattern of marketing costs in 2008, the magnitude of the 1Q expenditures appears to be at least 30% higher than we had modeled...Somewhat troubling to us is that while traffic has improved ytd through February (unique visitors to Monster.com up 12.2% yoy), the increase does not seem proportional to an estimated 70% increase in marketing/promotion spending."
"We are cutting our 2008/2009/2010 estimates to $1.34/$1.85/$2.38 from $1.64/$2.04/$2.52 to reflect both more conservative domestic revenue expectations and higher cost assumptio...

The company, instead, stuck with its goal to reach 25% non-GAAP operating income margins by 4Q08."

Monster's Guidance is Not Guidance
MWW
+35.24%
in
614 days
3/19 - "Monster Worldwide (MNST), which suddenly saw the light at the end of last year and decided it would no longer issue guidance, "corrected" analysts yesterday on what number they should plug into their models for Q1 operating expenses. This "correction" should have the result of reducing the non-GAPP EPS by about half of what analysts currently projected for the quarter."
"The important takeaway from this announcement is that we are finally starting to see the consequences of heavy investment in a business with declining growth...Expect this to be the first of many "corrections" to c...

Monster Margins Need a Look
MWW
-69.90%

Monster Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ:MNST) reported Q4 earnings which were improving. The press release headline announced that International Revenues grew by 63%. They pointed to International Revenues as the main contributor to driving consolidated revenue upward by 33%. Sounds good. International earnings have a certain cachet. Investors probably do not know the employment environment in multiple foreign countries so the tricky questions will be at a minimum.
Continue reading the press release to the end with particular attention to unaudited operating segment information. Monster has be...
