LivePerson, Inc. (LPSN)

Novel product.

High 3 month RS and 10 Stockscouter rating.

Solid company with a concept that's going to become huge in the future

I will buying if it gets to $2.60 again. It has some value but the over all trend is down. It has a good EPS rank but overall strength is low.

Buoght out Kasamba, online provider of live expert advice delivered to customers via real time chat. Currently lagging S&P but below 50 and 200 day average

OOPS! When the numbers are bad, there is no mercy. Live person's stock will be on life support for a few weeks, but it should recover. The company has no debt and it's already fallen into bargain territory. I think the bad news has been overblown, though it may be late 2008 before I'm in the green on this pick.

Passionate CEO, Big profits

Once the Kasamba chaos settles down, there's no reason this shouldn't pop back up to 5 or 6. They also have a healthy amount of cash...a buyback would be another way to boost the price. It's not totally unheard of. And, combine the two, and we're looking at a $10 stock. They've also pulled the trigger on two deals in the prior two years. Is there a chance for another one in '08? Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'll take my chances. Besides, everyone knows the focus on customer service is not going to die, ever.

this is where tech support is headed, this is where online sales is headed, soon websites wont say "call us" it will just have "click here to talk" i think this company is going to go up up and up as their technology continues to become accepted into the world as a new way of web based communication AT&T uses is for their online tech support and i find it very easy in fact way easier than a phone because if i forget something i just scroll up and theres that peice of instruction from my AT&T rep, it will even email the chat log to you if you ask it to and the company has that set up... this is a great product, just needs to be accepted by more companies.

LivePerson has engineered a formula to produce 50-55% revenues gains every year while increasing earnings. If you look between 2003 and 2008 they have basically done this exact thing. They are trading at a very reasonable 22 times forward earnings, maintain no debt, and have this perfect technical uptrend which looks indicative to a cup and handle breakout. Until the revenue growth slows below 50%, I see no reason not to be bullish.

Undervalued, good product line

I have experienced this technology first hand. The only thing I am iffy on is "do they have competitors out there and what are they doing DIFFERENT"

Will hold onto this stock for a while and see where it goes. Looking for a buyout.

Buyout candidate..

great product, great leadership

LivePerson provides multi-channel, online conversation solutions to its customers, that enable them to communicate with internet users in real time. The company’s technologies appear on its customer’s websites enabling LivePerson’s customers to communicate directly with internet users through the medium of text-based chat and e-mail. The target audience for the company’s products includes financial services, computer software and hardware, retail, and telecommunications industries, as well as small businesses.

For Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) LivePerson’s product includes LivePerson Pro and LivePerson Contact Center. For entrerprises, it provides Timpani Contact Center and Timpani Sales and Marketing range of products. The SMB sector recognizes the value of speaking directly to their customers and is gravitating towards integrated solutions that speak to their needs.

The fortunes of the company are directly linked with online sales and e-commerce. With increasing availability of internet access and broadband usage, e-commerce sales in US have increased from $28 billion in 2000 to $88 billion in 2005 and is expected to grow by 20% annually for next few years. Likewise, the growth driver for LivePerson should be e-commerce sales, facilitated by retailer’s desire to achieve higher conversion rates in the coming years.

The company completed its acquisition of Proficient Systems Inc, a provider of hosted chat solutions. Proficient has large customer base and also has a strong presence in financial services segment. This acquisition is likely to add up approximately $2.58 million in revenues and have a favorable impact on margins and earnings in 2007. With growth in e-commerce, LivePerson’s shares offer a good exposure to long-term investors.

I'm speculating that they will pick up some federal government contracts.

Liveperson"s on-demand software enables companies to identify and proactively engage the right customer, using the right communication channel, at the right time. Big customers like HP generated 55 million in revenue by using their solution.

LivePerson! They sell stuff on your website. They talk to your cyber customers when you can't or won't or don't have the time or don't know what to say...to create a more positive brand for you. They provide customer support. They are pioneers of customer retention in the digital realm. They have the attention of big names as witnesses their customer list. They know their business as witnesses their results. Zero debt, continued revenue growth and free cash flow. They've recently made a buyout or two and with big names (Microsoft, Google) talking about entering this sector, lpsn is a real candidate for a buyout itself. LivePerson's growing pangs are over. Foregoing a buyout, this stock triples in five years.

It should go up in January along with other good microcaps.
