FireEye Prices I.P.O. at $20, Beating Heightened Expectations

http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/09/19/ ... ions/?_r=0

FireEye, a provider of cybersecurity software, priced its initial public offering on Thursday at $20 a share, handily beating expectations.

Earlier this week, the company raised its price range to $15 to $17 a share.

Taking advantage of strong demand, the company also increased the number of shares that it sold in the offering by 8 percent, to 15.18 million. Over all, the stock sale raised $303.6 million, valuing the software maker at $2.3 billion.

The nine-year-old start-up is one of the latest technology companies to seek a public listing, part of a revival in a largely dormant sector for I.P.O.’s. As of last week, tech companies accounted for just 17 percent of all new offerings, the lowest percentage of all initial stock sales since 2008.

But analysts and bankers say that investors remain hungry for promising new I.P.O.’s. Earlier on Thursday, the advertising technology company Rocket Fuel priced its stock sale at the high end of an already raised range, collecting $116 million in proceeds.

FireEye is betting that its business — an advanced software package that protects against malicious programs — will prove attractive to new investors. Among its current backers are Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners.

The company reported a $35.8 million loss last year, more than double from the prior year. But its revenue jumped 147 percent, to $83.3 million.

FireEye plans to use proceeds from the sale to hire more employees and expand its business.

The offering was led by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Barclays.

1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

Jim Cramer -- Here's Why FireEye Is a Long-Term Play

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer is keeping a sharp eye on FireEye (FEYE - Get Report) ahead of its analyst meeting Wednesday. Cramer says one of his favorite themes for the next couple of years is cybersecurity, and there are a few companies that are doing incredibly well in that space: Palo Alto Networks (PANW - Get Report), CyberArk Software (CYBR), Cisco Systems (CSCO - Get Report) -- which is a core holding in Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust portfolio-- and, of course, FireEye.

CEO David DeWalt gave a compelling argument about the future of FireEye when he was on CNBC's "Mad Money" recently, said Cramer. He says the stock is about to break out at the $47 level, and that means it's anticipating a very good analyst meeting. The company provides malware protection systems and automated threat prevention solutions, and is currently valued at $7.39 billion.

Cramer notes that FireEye shares used to be much higher, and also suggested that he expects to see consolidation in the cybersecurity industry. In his view, we're going to hear FireEye talking a lot about theft prevention, and how insurance companies are selling FireEye as part of their policies in order to limit their liability in reagds to cyberterrorism.

Cramer thinks the FireEye analyst meeting will go well.

To those considering buying FireEye for a trade, Cramer warns there are a lot of people doing exactly that right now. In his view, investors should treat their investments in FireEye and other cybersecurity companies as long-term positions, because cybersecurity is a long-term need.

In Tuesday trading, FireEye touched a new 52-week high, and closed the day at $47.01, 89% above its 52-week low. Evercore Partners recently initiated coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a $50 price target.

Top Stocks #8: FireEye (FEYE)

It’s almost unimaginable to not consider cybersecurity as one of the major fundamental driving forces for growth for the next year.

The growing outbreak of cyber threats has companies, governments and individuals scrambling to answer the question “What protection is available?”

FireEye (FEYE) answers the question for all.

FEYE is forging itself as the leader and innovator in the cybersecurity world, specializing in threat prevention platforms that include network, email, mobile, content, analytics and forensics.

Wall Street is on the wrong side of the FEYE trade right now, as sentiment is relatively pessimistic for this all-star performer.

Fear and pessimism toward FireEye built after shares dropped from $90 to $30 in 2014.

During that period, analyst recommendations dropped and short interest rose. Currently, only 50% of the analysts covering FEYE have it ranked a “buy” — the rest believe it’s a “hold.”

However, with 2014’s ugly move behind it, the analysts are likely to pick up on FEYE’s rapid 68% move this year and start initiating upgrades to avoid looking like they’re behind (of course, they still are).

Bottom line, FEYE is now in our “Behavioral Valuation sweet spot” as strong technical and fundamental indications combine with FireEye’s scaling of the “Wall of Worry.” These situations often precede a feeding frenzy as the Street wakes up and realizes shares are well on their way to new highs.

FireEye should eclipse its all-time mark sometime during the next year as America’s cybersecurity issues continue to flare.

Stocks to Buy: FireEye (FEYE)

There’s no denying cybersecurity has been one of this year’s (and last year’s) hot buttons, which has been a real boon for cybersecurity service providers like FireEye (FEYE) and its peers.

On the other hand, there’s also no denying FireEye has a lot of peers, and most of them aren’t terribly profitable — nor are they expected to be wildly profitable in the foreseeable future.

So what makes FEYE one of the market’s top stocks to buy in anticipation of future fireworks?

It’s a potential takeover target.

That’s admittedly a tough reason on its own to own a stock … perhaps even worse than betting on a biotech stock in anticipation of a key FDA approval. In the case of FireEye, however, the rumors of a potential buyout have been a little too credible and a little too frequent to dismiss.

Yes, Barclays downgraded the stock just last week. It wasn’t a downgrade driven by an industry headwind or company-specific problems, though. It was just a valuation impasse, which may well be obliterated by another surge in cyberattacks.

FireEye (FEYE)
Market Cap: $7.5 billion
YTD Return: 51%

Although FEYE stock has lost some mojo ever since UBS downgraded the shares in the wake of its huge runup, FEYE’s 51% YTD return ranks among the best for cybersecurity stocks.

FireEye remains a top pick in the space due to its industry-leading top line growth — 69.5% during the last quarter.

But perhaps its chief attraction its Mandiant forensic unit that has been called in after massive hacks in the past, including those on the U.S. by the Chinese Army (2013), as well as hacks of Sony (2014) and Anthem (2015) among others.

FEYE shares sport a stratospheric valuation with a current PS reading of 15. The company, however, managed to cut its losses in half during the last quarter and is looking to become profitable by 2017. Further its 5-Year projected earnings growth rate of 35% annually gives it ample room to grow into its steep valuation.

Earlier in the year FireEye was the target of merger speculations by Cisco. FireEye, however, said that it would not be interested in a merger until it achieves revenue of at least $1 billion, which points to somewhere in 2017.

Coincidentally this is the time around which the company has projected it will move from the red to the black. That change should give FEYE stock a premium valuation over its loss-making cybersecurity stocks.

3 Tech Stocks Powered by Mega-Trends: FireEye (FEYE)
Mega-Trend: Cybersecurity
YTD Performance: 47.2%

Everywhere you look there’s proof — scary proof — of just how much everyone from individuals to government agencies need better cybersecurity measures.

Fingerprint records, which of course can’t be destroyed or reissued were stole during the recent Office of Personnel Management hack, while UCLA Health Systems was just breached as well.

No wonder investors pumped $1.2 billion into cybersecurity startups in the first half of 2015, or that investors bid the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (HACK) up almost 20% since the year started.

One of the biggest names in cybersecurity makes up just under 4% of that fund, though … but has risen nearly 50% so far this year alone.

That company is FireEye (FEYE), which makes software to detect, prevent and resolve cyberattacks. As an analyst recently told The Street’s Rex Crum, the company has become the “Navy SEALs of cybersecurity.”

One thing to note, though: FireEye, like many up-and-coming tech stocks, is not yet profitable. But if the mega-trend indeed pans out, the potential could indeed translate to profits to more stock gains.

Explosive Tech Stocks to Buy: FireEye Inc (FEYE)

Security stocks haven’t been so secure lately. Just look at FireEye (FEYE), which is off more than 40% since mid-June.

Ouch.

But FEYE stock does look attractive at current levels.

The cybersecurity industry is likely to grow for the long haul. According to analysts at Bank of America (BAC), the market is forecast to climb from $15 billion in 2015 to $19.5 billion by 2018.

FireEye is nicely positioned to benefit, offering a comprehensive suite of security applications that cover key threat vectors such as web, email, file storage and networks.

FEYE also has an elite consulting group that focuses on dealing with security breaches. This division has been called in to handle high-profile situations at companies including Sony (SNE), Anthem (ANTM), Home Depot (HD) and Michaels (MIK).

In terms of growth, there are no signs of slowing down. For the latest quarter, revenues for FEYE surged by 56% YOY to $147.2 million, and cash flows came to $39.1 million — up from a loss of $61.9 million in the same period a year ago.

And in light of the recent drop-off, FEYE stock is trading at much more reasonable levels, with a price-to-sales multiple of 9.5 that compares well to Palo Alto Networks (PANW) at 15.5X and CyberArk Software (CYBR) at 12X.
