Vonage Holdings Corp. (VG)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is a provider of broadband Voice over Internet Protocol services to residential and small and home office customers.

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.

I live in the Philippines and use Vonage for my business phone lines and it is fantastic. My customer can call a local Califonia number, so they do not even know I moved my business. I started my business in 1994 and moved to the Phillipines in 2006, with this service it was a easy move and no los...More

As a former Vonage customer, I have to admit that their product is awesome. The features you get for the price make landline phones look ridiculously expensive.

Their financial condition though is anything but awesome.

With a negative book value, negative return on assets, and a negative profit...More

Recs 0 (VG) jgseattle (58.48) Submitted: 7/07/08 12:22 AM : Start Price: $1.68 VG Score: 5.06 VOIP is great for international but for domestic it is dead becasue most cell phones have free long distance. Why go for the VOIP? I live in China and use Skype and only go computer to computer which is free. not sure how this will work long term? I wonder what their churn is? What rate are they adding new customers? I did a very very quick look at the financials and it seems to me they are not strong. To much debt for me for this size company. High SGA expenses.

Recs 0 (VG) huddaman (96.60) Submitted: 7/02/08 10:36 PM : Start Price: $1.63 VG Score: 1.91 how will they compete with $10 per month t-mobile's @ home service? They are already losing lots of money with their $15 or $25 per month packages. I don't expect them to survice with $10 per month. Sure Vonage sells at a huge gross margin, but they dont have enough units they sell to turn to a net profit. This one is not totally lost cause stock or company. If somehow they can double or tripple sales, without increasing SG&A and interst charges, they can be profitable. I will close our if their profitability or top line improves. I doubt that will happen with this new $10 per month competitior. Also, Yahoo Voice allows you to get your number for only $2.99. If they can manage to produce a decent wi-fi instrument, Vonage is bamboozle. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Maybe they don't realize most people use cellphones for long distance and don't pay LD charges anyway. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
