Last week we saw a number of companies in the media and Web 2.0 sector reporting earnings, but none was more surprising than Cyberplex. This company, operating in the ad network space, continued to surprise investors both on the earnings front and capital market activity. In posting approximately 300% growth in revenues Y/Y (see figure below), the company has demonstrated the merit of its business model and has returned to the equity markets for C$15 million to fuel the next phase of its growth.
Month-to-date financings in May totaled $84.3 million and benefited from a financing from Cyberplex for $12.9 million. So far, there have been 14 financings in May with seven deals greater than $5 million and only three less than $5 million. Except for Cyberplex, no deals were greater than $10 million, with the capital raise by Imeem and EveryZing close behind at $8.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The companies in our universe had mixed stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1) (Figure 6), with 24 companies showing positive returns on the week. Ynk Korea, Inc. (A023770-KOSE) led the group with a 30.9% return, while Mixi , Inc. (2121-TSE) had the worst return, dropping 9.2% in the week. less
