Canaccord Genuity on Technology: Weekend Musing

Analyst, Richard Davis, tapped into M&A and IPOs

This week in M&A. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) finally put the finishing touches on its $1.2 billion Yammer acquisition. Champagne corks pop at Jive (Nasdaq: JIVE), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), Lithium and a half dozen other competing firms...all this M&A makes us wonder if our Social CRM thesis will ever get the chance to full play out.

IPOs are back! ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), a very promising company that we’ve met with several times, hit the road with a big bang as the lead underwriter tried to make amends with investors for the disaster that was Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) (which is code for, “Sorry about the under-pricing, management and VCs, we had to have this stock really work so our hedge fund clients would keep buying our other deals”).
