The Next aQuantive
The next Internet-related advertising company that could get bought out is Omniture (OMTR Quote), Cramer told viewers. Interestingly, the company recently had a secondary offering, in which it sold over 8 million shares at $18 and change. If Omniture can sell this amount of stock at $18, "no amount of stupid sellers can knock this thing down," Cramer said. "There's too much demand." In addition, the company has a "great niche," he said. It makes the software that lets companies know what people are watching on the Internet. It measures trends and customer behavior on the Web. "With Omniture, you can tell advertisers what is hot at the exact moment," Cramer said. If he were in charge of Google (GOOG Quote), Microsoft (MSFT Quote) or Yahoo! (YHOO Quote), which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, Cramer said he would have bought Omniture yesterday. Using comparative analysis, Cramer said that if Omniture's earnings are valued the same as Microsoft valued aQuantive's (AQNT Quote) earnings when it purchased the company for $16 billion, Omniture is a $35 stock. Omniture closed at $20.66 Friday. However, Cramer said he's recommending Omniture here on Speculation Friday not because of its margins but because it's a likely takeover candidate.
