Please don’t stop.\" That's new Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407415,00.asp\">in her first memo to employees Thursday\u003c/a>. Sure, that might sound like an odd message for a company that has \u003ca href=\"http://stream.marketwatch.com/story/the-facebook-ipo/SS-4-1615/SS-4-7530/\">lost half its stock value over the past seven years\u003c/a>. But if you've been following the years-long Yahoo! drama, you know that it's not unusual for the company's leaders to tell employees that they should keep on truckin':\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Staying) true to who we are has helped us pull through the recent uncertainty we've faced, and will continue to be an asset as we move ahead,\" cofounder Jerry Yang \u003ca href=\"http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9935633-7.html\">wrote to employees in 2008\u003c/a>.

Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. had rated the stock a 'buy.' Another nine dubbed the shares a 'hold,\"' and one, BMO Capital Markets bestowed the equivalent of a rare 'sell' rating on the stock. Price targets for analysts who provided them Wednesday ranged from $25 to $45, with the average $37.71.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You'll recall that Facebook's highly anticipated IPO was a bit of a fiasco, with shares finishing on the first day of trading just about a half-percent over the opening price -- and only with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-facebook-trading-20120518,0,6622700.story\">help of large buy orders from the underwriter\u003c/a>, to boot. The Big Facebook Bang was also \u003ca href=\"http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/facebooks-debut-marred-by-trading-glitches/?hp\">marred by trading glitches\u003c/a> on the Nasdaq exchange, as well as later reports that Facebook, soon before the IPO, \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/23/us-facebook-analysts-idUSBRE84M08W20120523\">advised analysts for Morgan Stanley and other underwriters\u003c/a> to reduce their revenue estimates for the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its debut, \u003ca href=\"http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=fb&ql=1\">Facebook shares\u003c/a> have fared even worse, finishing at $31.09 today, substantially below its $38 IPO price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, we turned to Sam Hamadeh, CEO of IPO research firm PrivCo, who was a \u003ca href=\"http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-17/tech/30055188_1_facebook-shares-facebook-management-facebook-fatigue\">Facebook bear before it was fashionable\u003c/a>. Hamadeh seemed fairly prescient when he provided us with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/16/analysis-facebook-ipo-worth-25-per-share/\">seven reasons to sit out the Facebook IPO\u003c/a> two days before it went public. In fact, one of the top reasons Hamadeh gave for his bearish views on the company (he pegs the real value of Facebook at $25 per share) is that it doesn't have a good way to monetize mobile users. And that, in fact, was the very reason Facebook cited when it told its underwriters to reduce their estimates, according to sources in this \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/23/us-facebook-analysts-idUSBRE84M08W20120523\">Reuters report\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamadeh called the new analyst ratings released this week \"fairly tepid,\" but said they were still too high. In our conversation, he also said that when it comes to analyst ratings, things haven't changed much on Wall Street since the dot-com scandals of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when a lack of separation between the research and business arms of the big firms incentivized analysts, ostensibly independent evaluators of securities, to vastly inflate their assessments of what stocks were worth. (Check out the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/wallstreet.html\">difference between public and private analyst opinions at Merrill Lynch during that era here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conflicts of interests were supposedly addressed in 2003 by the so-called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Settlement\">Global Settlement\u003c/a>, which mandated a separation between the banking and research departments at the big Wall Street firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reading this, you should keep in mind that Hamadeh's independent research firm is a competitor of the big banks that he is criticizing here. This is an edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what do you think of the ratings?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRIVCO'S SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: It's important for readers to understand that although underwriter research analysts are supposed to be independent, it's expected that virtually all of them of course issue positive recommendations for the company. It's fairly unusual for analyst reports from the underwriter firms involved in the IPO to issue any negative ratings.

But as a practical matter, these guys work in the same building, eat in the same cafeteria -- the analyst is chatting with investors during the road show… It certainly is a job-risking statement to come out with a price target below the IPO price or any sort of underperform rating like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So that was a big issue in the 1990s, with the underwriters putting pressure on their analysts to come up with pumped up ratings. Correct?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong> Absolutely. In the 1990s, technically there was no legal separation between banking and research. You had a lot of emails surface during litigation following the market crash in 2000 and 2001 that showed the bankers telling the analysts we could land this IPO, so we're promising them if we get the IPO, our analysts will issue a buy recommendation for the stock, will talk it up during the road show to investors, and will set a very high price target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference today is instead of those emails going back and forth, they do it verbally. That's the only difference. As someone who has been on Wall Street and is no longer on Wall Street but have many connections there, we know how the business works, and the pressure now is done verbally as opposed to email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, instead of research analysts' pay being tied to a bonus structure taking into account things like the number of IPOs the firm brings in, they're rewarded with restricted stock based on the company's overall performance or the team's performance, as well as intangibles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is those intangibles include are you being a team player, are you beating up our IPOs as soon as the 40-day quiet period expires? Any analyst that does this repeatedly, from our experience, they shouldn't expect a job at that firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've seen the sausage get made. We talk to a lot of investment bankers and people on deal teams off the record, because we have to verify information. As part of those conversations we get other insights as to how the deal is being quote marketed. Which is Wall Street parlance. They literally call it marketing a deal as opposed to explaining or analysis. That's what it is: advertising. Instead of selling soap, you're selling the stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So as part of the marketing process we have off the record chats about how the star Internet or tech analyst is going to talk to big institutional investors verbally and pump up the stocks' forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for example, what Facebook's going to do in 2015 – that's a judgment call. The analyst has leeway whether they want to predict Facebook is going to do $10 billion in revenue in five years or $30 billion in revenue in five years. With the bank that's the lead underwriter in the deal, you can fully expect the pressure is both explicit and implicit, that the expectation is the analyst is going to be on the high end of those projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was in investment banking in the 1990s, it was very clear we were all part of the same team, we attended pitch meetings together.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, we turned to Sam Hamadeh, CEO of IPO research firm PrivCo, who was a \u003ca href=\"http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-17/tech/30055188_1_facebook-shares-facebook-management-facebook-fatigue\">Facebook bear before it was fashionable\u003c/a>. Hamadeh seemed fairly prescient when he provided us with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/16/analysis-facebook-ipo-worth-25-per-share/\">seven reasons to sit out the Facebook IPO\u003c/a> two days before it went public. In fact, one of the top reasons Hamadeh gave for his bearish views on the company (he pegs the real value of Facebook at $25 per share) is that it doesn't have a good way to monetize mobile users. And that, in fact, was the very reason Facebook cited when it told its underwriters to reduce their estimates, according to sources in this \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/23/us-facebook-analysts-idUSBRE84M08W20120523\">Reuters report\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamadeh called the new analyst ratings released this week \"fairly tepid,\" but said they were still too high. In our conversation, he also said that when it comes to analyst ratings, things haven't changed much on Wall Street since the dot-com scandals of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when a lack of separation between the research and business arms of the big firms incentivized analysts, ostensibly independent evaluators of securities, to vastly inflate their assessments of what stocks were worth. (Check out the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/wallstreet.html\">difference between public and private analyst opinions at Merrill Lynch during that era here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conflicts of interests were supposedly addressed in 2003 by the so-called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Settlement\">Global Settlement\u003c/a>, which mandated a separation between the banking and research departments at the big Wall Street firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reading this, you should keep in mind that Hamadeh's independent research firm is a competitor of the big banks that he is criticizing here. This is an edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what do you think of the ratings?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRIVCO'S SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: It's important for readers to understand that although underwriter research analysts are supposed to be independent, it's expected that virtually all of them of course issue positive recommendations for the company. It's fairly unusual for analyst reports from the underwriter firms involved in the IPO to issue any negative ratings. It would get a lot of publicity but would certainly cost the person their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: But there was an analyst from one of the underwriting firms who seemed to be quite negative, putting the value of Facebook shares at $25 per share, like you...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: That was a brave move.
