Israeli IPOs

Mobileye NV (MBLY), the technology company that went public a month ago, led gains among U.S.-listed Israeli stocks in August as investors shrugged off concern that the seven-week Gaza conflict will weaken the economy.

Mobileye has surged 73 percent to $43.22 since listing in New York on July 31, the biggest rally among all companies globally that raised $500 million or more in the past three months. Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. (CSTE), the maker of quartz counter-tops, climbed 20 percent in August, the second-best performance on the Bloomberg Israel-U.S. Equity Index, which rose 4.8 percent.

While signs have emerged that the Gaza fighting is starting to curb output at some Israeli businesses, hurt tourism and cut into consumer spending, investors have shown little concern, instead bidding up stocks in line with gains being posted in the U.S. and other major global markets. The performance of Mobileye and Caesarstone, which has more than tripled since its 2012 listing, could help bolster demand for more Israeli initial public offerings, according to Josef Schuster, the founder of Chicago-based IPOX Schuster LLC.

Record IPO

Mobileye’s $1 billion IPO was the biggest in the U.S. by an Israeli company on record, part of a rush of deals last month. Six Israeli companies have gone public in the U.S. this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Eight more have offerings pending.

“We’re continuing to see moderate appetite for IPOs in the U.S. by Israeli companies,” Phyllis Korff, a lawyer at Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flop LLP in New York, said in an e-mail. “This activity could continue through the end of 2014 and into the first quarter of 2015,” said Korff, who worked on the Mobileye offering.

The Jerusalem-based technology company, whose customers include luxury electric-carmaker Tesla Motors Inc., posted 2013 net income of $19.9 million following two years of losses, according to its IPO prospectus. Revenue in 2013 was $81.2 million, more than double the figure from 2012.

Rate Cut
While global financial markets have shrugged off fighting in Gaza, it has begun to take its toll on Israel’s economy. The Bank of Israel unexpectedly cut interest rates to a record low on Aug. 25 in an attempt to boost an economy already hit by slowing exports.

Israeli growth slowed in the second quarter to 1.7 percent from 2.8 percent in the previous three months, as exports, which account for about a third of the economy, tumbled 18 percent, according to official data released Aug. 17.

The local TA-25 index rose 0.9 percent this month, trailing the 4.8 percent gain on the Bloomberg Israel-US Index. Tel Aviv stocks have appreciated 5.6 percent this year, compared with an 11 percent advance for U.S.-listed Israeli stocks.

Caesarstone (CSTE), which makes quartz kitchen counter-tops, surged this month after issuing a new full-year sales estimate that surpassed analysts’ projections. The stock has appreciated 373 percent since its IPO in March of 2012.

Veeva Systems (VEEV) reported earnings on Thur 8/28/14 (a/h)


Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV), boosted by some big sales, blew past analyst Q2 expectations, and its stock soared to a five-month high.

JPMorgan raised its price target on Veeva stock to 32 from 27 while Canaccord Genuity hiked its target to 33 from 30. Both rate Veeva stock overweight, or buy.


Veeva provides customer relationship management, content management and other software services to the life science industry.

The company continues to capture a share of the $5 billion CRM and content management software market for life sciences, said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst for Pacific Crest Securities, in a report late Thursday. He rates the stock outperform.

"Veeva's billings and subscription revenue accelerated to over 60% year-over-year growth in fiscal Q2, providing strong visibility," he wrote. "The company's large deals also increased."

In its fiscal Q2 ended July 31, Veeva late Thursday reported earnings per share minus items of 9 cents, up 43% from the year-earlier period and 2 cents better than analyst estimates.
Revenue jumped 53% to $75.7 million, where analysts had expected $69 million.

Blackstone-Backed Vivint Solar Files for $200 Million IPO

Vivint Solar, the rooftop-panel leasing unit of Blackstone Group LP-backed Vivint Inc., filed for a $200 million initial public offering in the U.S.

Vivint, which was acquired by Blackstone Group in 2012 for about $2 billion, plans to use part of the proceeds from the sale to pay debt, according to a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today. The amount is a placeholder used to calculate fees and may change.

The largest U.S. residential solar installer after SolarCity Corp. (SCTY) leases systems to homeowners in the U.S., offering them a 15 percent to 30 percent savings on their power bills. The proposed share sale will likely encourage other solar panel companies to follow suit, said Nick Culver, a New York-based analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

“As SolarCity’s valuation skyrockets, its competitors are undoubtedly eager to follow its path in search of cheaper capital,” Culver said.

The residential solar industry will grow at an annual rate of 28 percent from 2012 through 2017, according to GTM Research. Vivint also competes with Sungevity Inc. and Sunrun Inc.

The offering will be managed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., and Credit Suisse Group AG, according to a prospectus filed today. The company has applied to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VSLR.

GrubHub (GRUB) : insiders cashing out


Most of the 10 million shares being offered are coming from insiders, particularly private-equity funds that backed Seamless, the New York-based food-ordering service that merged with GrubHub a year ago.

Insiders are selling 8.8 million shares. Chicago-based GrubHub itself is selling 1.25 million shares worth about $50 million. GrubHub's stock fell nearly 10 percent to about $39 on the announcement of a secondary offering.

The stock had been riding a wave of optimism since GrubHub's strong second-quarter earnings report July 23, rising 28 percent to more than $40 a share.

STRONG IPO PERFORMANCE

GrubHub, an online platform for restaurant takeout, has had one of Chicago's strongest IPO performances. It went public April 4 at $26 per share and climbed to $43.29 the first day. Like Deerfield-based Textura Corp., which makes construction software, GrubHub took advantage of the strong showing to quickly do a secondary offering.

The biggest sellers of GrubHub's stock are Warburg Pincus Private Equity and Spectrum Equity, each selling 1.9 million shares worth about $77 million. That works out to one-fourth of Spectrum's holdings and one-third of Warburg's stake.

Lightspeed Venture Partners, an early backer of GrubHub, is selling 1.2 million shares, or 43 percent of its shares. Goldman Sachs is selling 21 percent of its stock, or 1.3 million shares. Chicago-based Origin Ventures, GrubHub's first venture backer, is selling 609,802 shares, or 15 percent of its holdings.

Jonathan Zabusky, GrubHub's president and former CEO of Seamless, is selling 298,801, or 39 percent of his holdings. GrubHub CEO Matt Maloney is selling 183,089, or 9 percent of his stake. Mike Evans, former chief operating officer, isn't selling any of his 2.1 million shares.

These shareholders may sell more if underwriters exercise an overallotment provision.

Cheetah Mobile (CMCM) reported earnings on 19 August 2014

Software security firm Cheetah Mobile (CMCM) on Tuesday reported earnings per share of 8 cents, at least double analyst forecasts. Revenue rose 139% year over year to $61.3 million, beating estimates by $5.5 million. It was the eighth quarter in a row of triple-digit gains.


Cheetah Mobile stock sprinted 13% to a new high of 30.37 early, but gave it all back, closing down a fraction to 26.66.

Similar action was seen last week with Vipshop Holdings (VIPS). The Chinese flash sales online apparel retailer crushed Q2 earnings and sales forecasts with triple-digit gains and guided Q3 views higher. But shares fell 5% on Aug. 14, after soaring to a record high the prior session. Investors reportedly expected even more, especially on guidance.

Late Monday, beauty products site Jumei International (JMEI) also beat Q2 expectations, but the stock fell 11% Tuesday.

The Chinese online retailer said revenue rose 42% to $154.4 million, beating the consensus by $4.8 million. Earnings per share minus items rose 23% to 16 cents and beat views by 4 cents.

The sell-off on good news trend was also evident in Q2 reports last week from JD.com (JD), China's largest online direct seller by transaction volume, as well as Internet retailer Dangdang (DANG). JD did jump Tuesday intraday to a record high, but gave up most of those gains at the close.

Great Expectations

Tencent Holdings (TCEHY), which owns a portfolio of Internet services including online games, social networks, Web portals and e-commerce sites, reported Q2 profit growth of 59%, much better than expected. But its stock fell 4% in reaction on Aug. 14. Tencent owns stakes in Cheetah Mobile, JD.com and 58.com (WUBA), a Craigslist-like company that reports earnings on Thursday.

"It could be the adage of buy the rumor and sell on the news," said Brendan Ahern, managing director of KraneShares, a China-focused provider of exchange traded funds.

BitAuto In High Gear

BitAuto was a notable exception. The Chinese auto informa tion site on Aug. 11 spiked 10% to a new high on strong earnings and accelerating revenue growth. That was part of a 9-day, 39% advance. Shares finally fell Tuesday, but just 5 cents to 82.23.

China-based e-commerce and mobile Internet earnings have been stellar. Of the 24 out of 42 China-based Internet companies in the KraneShares ETF (KWEB) that have reported Q2 results, revenue is up 71% year over year and earnings 32%, based on a weighted average.

"Across the board we've seen the Q3 estimates raised by most of these companies," said Ahern.

Huge Growth Market

They're riding a wave of growth in the world's largest Internet market. China had some 618 million Internet users in 2013 as some 53 million logged onto the Web for the first time. But that's still less than half of China's population. Internet users there could reach 725 million by 2016, or 58% of the population, according to iResearch.

China's e-commerce market is expected to reach $630 billion in 2016 from an estimated $300 billion in 2013.

Mobile e-commerce more than doubled last year to $27 billion as mobile surfers hit 500 million, iResearch said. It's expected to account for $131 billion in 2016.

"Wealth creation in China will be a key catalyst for e-commerce growth over the next several decades," a recent Morningstar report predicted. "According to China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the average yearly wage in China grew at a compound annual rate of 13.8% from 2003 to 2013.

These trends are a big plus for Alibaba, China's No. 1 e-commerce company, covering business and consumer markets. It's expected to launch an IPO in the U.S. next month that could raise $20 billion or more, topping Visa (V) and Facebook (FB) as the largest U.S. new issue ever.

Jumei (JMEI) dives after Q2 earnings

China's Jumei International (NYSE:JMEI) illustrated the risks that high-flying IPOs often bear. The recent new issue on Tuesday posted its biggest single-day drop since June 12, following its report of second-quarter results after Monday's close.


Earnings per share minus items rose 23% to 16 cents and beat views by 4 cents. But after-tax margin slimmed to 14% vs. 14.5% in the year-ago quarter.

The online retailer of beauty products said Q2 revenue rose 42% from the year-earlier quarter to $154.4 million, beating the consensus by $4.8 million, as polled by Thomson Reuters. Active customers in Q2 rose 43% to 5 million. Total orders rose 39% to 11 million.

Jumei debuted May 16, priced at 22 and raised $425 million. Including all share classes, the company has a market value of $4.8 billion.

Before reporting Q2 earnings late Monday, Jumei stock hit an all-time high of 39.45, up 59% from its IPO pricing. But on Tuesday, shares dived 4 points, or 11%, to 33.10 in nearly quadruple average volume. The stock has an average daily volume of 1.14 million shares, which is ample.

Jumei had cleared a 31.70 cup-with-handle buy point on Aug. 7 and muscled nearly 20% higher in the six sessions. But the stock made a negative reversal ahead of Monday's report, off 2% to 37.10.

For 2014, the company expects earnings minus items of $81 million to $87 million, up 40% to 50%.

Jumei is part of the Retail-Internet group, which has rallied within IBD's daily rankings of 197 industry groups and subgroups in recent weeks. As of Tuesday's IBD, the group ranked 60th for six-month relative price performance, up from 94th six weeks ago. The group is led by Vipshop (NYSE:VIPS) and 58.com (NYSE:WUBA), which hold Composite ranks of 99 and 98, respectively.

Shake Shack picks JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley to lead IPO

(Reuters) - Shake Shack, the fast-food restaurant chain that has developed a cult following for its 'Shackburgers', 'flat-top' hot dogs and eponymous shakes, has selected JPMorgan Chase & Co and Morgan Stanley to lead a proposed initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

The potential offering, which could come as soon as this year according to the people, would be the biggest public event for a company that started out of a hot dog kiosk in New York's Madison Square Park in 2004.

While Shake Shack is expected to post earnings of around $20 million next year and the size of the IPO is likely to be small, underwriting one of the biggest burger names in the United States is a plum assignment for investment banks JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley.

Shake Shack's majority owner, Union Square Hospitality Group LLC, interviewed investment banks in recent weeks to appoint underwriters for the IPO, Reuters first reported last week.

Representatives for Shake Shack, Union Square Hospitality, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Shake Shack would likely be the most-followed IPO out of a string of casual dining chains that have gone public this year. They include El Pollo Loco Holdings Inc , Zoe's Kitchen Inc and Papa Murphy's Holdings Inc .

Shake Shack is present in many U.S. states including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida and Massachusetts. It has also expanded internationally in cities such as London, Istanbul, Moscow and Dubai.

The company does not franchise and says it has no plans to do so in the future. Shake Shack's chief executive is Randy Garutti, a Cornell University graduate who worked his way up at Union Square Hospitality from general manager at its restaurants to lead Shake Shack.

Union Square Hospitality was founded by restaurateur Danny Meyer in 1985. It also runs other popular New York eateries, including Blue Smoke, Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe.

Private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners LP agreed to acquire a 39.5 percent stake Union Square Hospitality in 2012 for an undisclosed amount.

Noodles & Co (NDLS) : 14-month performance

** daily **

** weekly **

The trading disaster that is Noodles & Co. (NDLS) was holding to form early Thursday, plunging 21% after another weaker-than-expected quarterly report delivered further misery to anyone owning the shares.

Following its fourth consecutive quarterly sales shortfall and a reduced outlook for the full year, the stock was losing $5.24 to $19.97, its lowest price since it started trading 14 months ago.

Investors had viewed Noodles' debut as that of a restaurant with the opportunity -- possibly -- to be "the next Chipotle." Instead, they've gotten little but distress if they've been with the name for any time aside from brief, fortunate upward spurts. The stock opened for trading at $32 after its June 2013 IPO, rising to $51.97 days later. It's been stepping lower since, but the current decline would be the worst trading day it's had. Previously, its largest single-day drop was a 13.7% fall on April 30, after disappointing first-quarter earnings.

Even before the latest decrease, shares were down 29.4% in 2014. At this point, they're 61% below their peak.

For the second quarter, revenue did climb 11.5% from the year-earlier period to $99.5 million, the Broomfield, Colo.-based noodle seller said. However, analysts were expecting $103.3 million, according to FactSet. In the five quarters Noodles has reported as a public company, it only surpassed revenue estimates the first time. Meanwhile, adjusted earnings of 12 cents a share missed the consensus of 15 cents and were down a penny from last year. Same-store sales fell 0.6% at company-owned restaurants.

Noodles has now opened 25 company stores through the first half, compared with a goal of 45 to 50 for the entire year, so it says the high end is within reason. Also, five franchised locations have opened. The company has said it believes it can eventually have 2,500 stores, up from 410 operating today, most of which are corporate-owned.
