Analysts' Consensus

The game-making business is a little like the movie business in that a studio needs a big hit to establish a foothold in the marketplace. Glu Mobile already has that hit with its Deer Hunter game for smartphones. It was recently expanded to Facebook.

Although the gaming industry is inherently risky, of the nine analysts covering Glu Mobile, six recommend a “strong buy,” of its stock while three recommend a “hold.”

Solid Fourth-Quarter and 2013 Earnings

Meanwhile, satellite-radio provider Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRI - News) has come a long way from the time its share price bottomed at 5 cents in February of 2009.

Sirius’ total recovery was evident in its fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 earnings reported on Feb. 4, 2014.

The company generated record revenue of $1.0 billion and $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter and full-year, respectively, each up 12%. Net income for the fourth quarter and full-year were $65 million and $377 million, respectively, or $0.01 and $0.06 per diluted common share, respectively.

Potential Lawsuits Generated By Acquisition

Despite a myriad of law-firm of Sirius XM for potential stockholder claims as a result of the satellite-radio investigations company’s proposed acquisition by Liberty Media Corp., its stock price is holding its own.

On Jan. 3, 2014, Liberty Media make an offer to buy Sirius for about $10.4 billion at a rate of $3.68 per share. The deal involves creating a new class of stock called Series C, adding 0.076 per share to give the company a total market value of as much as $27 billion.

Although the pending acquisition has triggered a slew of potential stockholder lawsuits, without Liberty Media, Sirius XM might not have been here today.

That’s because in 2009, Liberty Media kept Sirius XM from going bankrupt with a $530 million loan. As a result, Sirius XM has been able to build a subscriber base 25.6 million strong. It’s done so with a line-up of paid-radio choices including classical, rock, alternative, country, sports and live concerts, including the extremely-popular morning man Howard Stern serving as the company’s anchor. Moreover, having new cars equipped with XM receivers has also boosted the company’s popularity and acceptability. However, Sirius XM still faces brutal competition from such digital radio competitors as Pandora Media Inc., AOLRadio and Apple Inc.

On Feb. 10, SIRI’s share price closed at $ 3.49, up 5 cents from its closing price of $ 3.44 the previous day on volume of 118,952,176 shares.

(NASDAQ:MSFT - News) and Electronics Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA - News). Zynga also reduced its workforce by 18% when it laid off 520 workers as part of slashing $80 million dollars from its budget. It is also developing new role-playing games, which have a longer lifespan that social games, by introducing such games as Battlezone. In addition, Zynga is making a foray into online gambling games by introducing ZyngaPlusCasino and ZyngaPlusPoker in the United Kingdom.

On Feb. 10, ZNGA share price closed at $4.56, up 3 cents from its share price of $4.53 cents the previous day.
