David Nierenberg Says Move.com (MOVE) Could Jump Over 500%

October 7, 2008 2:11 PM EDT

Currently, speaking at the Value Investing Congress is David Nierenberg of the D3 Family Funds. He is presenting three ideas: Move.com (Nasdaq: MOVE), Electro-Scientific (Nasdaq: ESIO) and Brooks Automation (Nasdaq: BRKS).

Nierenberg thinks that Move.com could rise as home values recover. Move.com looks ugly because past problems with overpaid management, litigation clean-up, large overhead, former executives jailed and three quarters of their cash was invested in auction rate securities.

In response, D3 Family Funds filed a 13D on Move.com.
Nierenberg expects real estate advertising to migrate to the internet, trend accelerating in real estate downtown. Additionally, he expects Move.com's margins to increase and auction-rate securities settlement by '09.

Ultimately, Nierenberg thinks home prices will recover. He expects G&A to be reduced $60 million annually.

Nierenberg's price target on Move.com is $10, or 6x where it is today.

David's doesn't know enough about Move's current management or business model. If he did, he would not be so bullish.

"...past problems with overpaid management..." For comparison, how does Move's current management pay compare?
