Gaiam, Inc. (GAIA)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a lifestyle media company providing a selection of information, media, products and services to customers who value personal development, wellness, ecological lifestyles and responsible media.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

healthy lifestyle business is not just a fad, and Gaiam is a leading and quality brand in the sector. Gaiam’s direct-to-consumer sales allow them to collect a greater share of the prices. There's simply very strong revenue growth. If you can be patient you’ll see the stock price grow in the coming y...More

Over-priced already. Market focus is too broad and market share is being diluted by increased competition, lululemon, and minor players, who are more innovated in delivering product to their core consumers.

Over-priced already. Market focus is too broad and market share is being diluted by increased competition, lululemon, and minor players, who are more innovated in delivering product to their core consumers. Ecommerce and catalogs, the major revenue growth channel for Gaiam, has loss over $7M dollars for first 3Q's of 2007 and has not generated any profit in 6 years. B2B channel is severely impacted going forward as major retail account, Target, has eliminated fitness DVD's and Gaiam store in store concept is in test mode and gives up huge margins to control real estate. Wal-Mart and others are backing out core profit center as well, fitness DVD's.

Like Gaiam was late to the party on solar, their party's over and the Real Goods play is only about taking $20M out of the equity buy from new Real Goods stakeholders, rather than leaving it in Real Goods and using the capital to grow the business.

Gaiam should value at $12, not at $23.62 and stop mailing catalogs to inflate revenue growth.
