The valuations for technology ordsprog

The valuations for technology companies are very high. Why would you pay cash for that, why not pay with another inflated stock?

The real trick on any buyout fund, and technology funds even more so, is balancing the company's leverage level with the use of cash. And in technology companies there tends to be an extremely high use of cash, because you are constantly investing in and developing the technology, which is not true in what I'll call stable old businesses.

Given that tech companies are already trading at pretty high valuations, these companies' earnings are going to have to really deliver for the stock prices to show a substantial reaction.

I think, ... that Pfizer is going to benefit from their merger with Warner-Lambert. I think that makes a very good deal. But most pharmaceutical companies do eventually strike deals with biotech companies in terms of marketing their product. And the genomic companies don't have a lot of cash. They have a lot of high valuations, but they don't have a lot of dollars to spend. So, they usually look toward the pharmaceutical sector to help them out, which usually helps both sectors.

[Richard Williams, analyst with Summit Analytic Partners, said he wouldn't rule out yet another higher offer made up of both cash and Oracle stock.] If they were to throw stock in, they could go a lot higher, ... But the all-cash bid makes it more attractive because it's a so much lower risk than a cash-and-stock bid.

Qwest was this high-flying stock with a huge multiple of cash flow, ... It's now buying two companies that have more moderate growth rates. I expect to see that price come back.

The bottom line is the high energy prices have created a huge cash position at many of these energy companies. They can either buy back their stock or do an acquisition and Occidental is doing both.

In technology, IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is more of a technical analysis play. The stock has broken out, or getting very close to breaking out, of a trading range. And I think the market's still going to give a premium to quality companies in technology. IBM being listed doesn't get that Nasdaq appeal, however. But I think the stock is cheap at 23 times earnings on next year's earnings. And their big server market and the other types of technology they have are doing very well in the service sector.

Studies have found companies with smaller boards tend to have higher stock valuations.

Drug companies are being hit by the Merck trial. But since their valuations are still cheap, we might see a sharp rebound in their stock prices soon.

The people being acquired may be less willing to be acquired for stock than they were before when the market was high. The depressed stock prices cuts both ways. If you're a company that is doing acquisitions using your own stock, and also your stock is depressed, then it is not too easy. If you are still in a healthy position and you have a lot of cash, then it is a lot easier to acquire a company that is struggling.

The Chinese government is establishing high-technology standards that differ from international standards. In effect, foreign high-technology intellectual property rights are not only losing value, but the high-technology standards [that China is creating] are also incompatible with international high-technology standards, [which consequently are] making entry into China's market difficult for foreign companies with intellectual property rights in high technology.

Some prices were inflated after the storm, and a lot of people saw that and wanted to cash out. Some prices were unrealistic, and prices are a little inflated now, but they are beginning to come down.

Robert Montgomery (1904-)

The tech sector is where the money seems to want to flow. You can just look at last week's action, when all the averages were up, the money flows into technology, primarily in telecommunications. And even though the valuations have been high all of these quarters and still are, I guess if you want to do well in the market you've got to have some of your assets in technology, definitely.

Then there's the uncertainty with respect to technology stocks - the valuations went sky-high and now it probably has to swing the other way.
