I was going to wait until Monday to post, but given all the chatter on here I posted an investment thesis on it just now. I think it's a massively mispriced option. | |

Here's how we see it. The additional shares are not in the share count as of 3/31...the 9M or so reflects all those options.

Whopper wrote up his latest on SA a few weeks back:

I agree...timing on new initiatives continues to slip, raising the risk profile since it is unclear (to me) that they will begin contributing in time to bridge likely eventual decline in core retail telecom biz.

Since I last posted note on 9/12/14, company has paid $1.67 in dividends and it is currently trading at $22.36 as I write.
Other than the dividends, the news has been about as expected.

mpk,
I am getting $10 in net cash -- excess cash . . . that is more complicated . . .
And I did not intend to include restricted cash, which is offset by custy deposits.

whopper,
i read your blog posts. agree.
and i was also neutral on sale . . . even a bit disappointed, but I have valuation in the low-to-mid 20s, not 16. At $16 with almost $10 in... login to read the rest | |

I am surprised by the muted response as I had thought the mkt was valuing at zero.

IDT Corporation (IDT), a global provider of telecommunications and payment services, announced today that it has reached an agreement to sell its interests in Fabrix Systems (Fabrix) to Ericsson. The sale price for 100% of... login to read the rest | |

We agree with zzz and whopper . . . esp in light of the poor results and even worse outlook hinted at last quarter. This stock is being driven by the telecom cash flow and... login to read the rest | |

Generally agree. Very nice to see growth resume in core biz. Addition of messaging will hopefully drive some modest incremental growth (optimistic) or slow the LT secular decline in the core biz as they get... login to read the rest | |

This is very interesting regarding the development of Zedge's business strategy. If they are successful in becoming a "recommendation engine" the company's valuation should increase significantly. This type of awareness is a step in the... login to read the rest | |

zzz,
We are on the same page. And the money transfer biz also caught my attention.

I agree, but you are preaching to the choir. I think non-zedge/fabrix is worth a bit less than you, but we are in same ballpark.
And we will certianly buy more if the price falls hard | |

Agree that TPS news flow has been negative vis-a-vis where it was two quarters ago, but only mildly so. Two quarters ago, both top line and margins were expanding. Now, top line is no longer... login to read the rest | |

I am not sure if you have ever raised this point, but the point you just raised about banked/unbanked distinction is key.

Hey Cuyler-
I have been involved in IDT far longer than you (I was one of the fortunate few who purchased in late 09 early '10 and darted pre-genie spin.

Cuyler or Devo,
Given the recent developments at Fabrix (presumably with Cox), can you give us your updated sum-of-the-parts using ranges for the pieces, including:
Core telecom business
Fabrix

Wonderful idea and thread.
How does fabrix end up looking as a business when fully built out (assuming it is successful and gains significant market share)?
