More From Ali Mogharabi

IAC maintains a large stake in the newly formed ANGI Homeservices, whose revenue growth and margin expansion targets we're skeptical of.

The move could further strengthen Alphabet's moat as Pixel and other hardware can bring in more users, increasing user count/engagement, from which more data will be compiled to drive more online ad revenue growth.

We still think Twitter has no economic moat and would wait for a cheaper price before buying, but the market is likely overreacting to the lack of user growth.

We’re boosting our view of Facebook’s growth and profitability after the firm reported excellent second-quarter results.

The no-moat company now trades below its $17 IPO price, we continue to recommend a wider margin of safety before investing in this very high uncertainty name.

A final decision on the most recent ruling and other cases could take years, and we have included their impact in our bear-case scenario of Alphabet's valuation.

While results support our thesis that BlackBerry has successfully transitioned from a hardware to a software company, its long-term success remains to be seen.

What's left of the company formerly known as Yahoo has started trading as a closed-end management company.

We now value Altaba at $55 per share, mainly due to Morningstar’s higher valuation of Alibaba, in which Altaba has a 15% stake.

We are maintaining our fair value estimate after mixed first-quarter results and think investors should continue to look elsewhere for value.

With more users and user engagement, Facebook continues to not only strengthen its network, but also possibly the value of its intangible assets stemming from user data.
