Why iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (ICLK) Stock Suddenly Spiked Today
By Samuel Moore - February 19, 2020
Big changes are happening at iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (NASDAQ:ICLK), which makes the stock worth watching today. The company is among the top gainers of the stock market today, skyrocketing 5.41% or (0.21 points) to $4.09 from its previous close of $3.88. Does this growth mean it the best stock to buy right now? The shares seem to have an active trading volume day with a reported 272010 contracts so far this session. ICLK shares had a relatively better volume day versus average trading capacity of 190.77 thousand shares, but with a 3.62 million float and a 2.65% run over a week, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. The one year price forecast for ICLK stock indicates that the average analyst price target is $7.87 per share. This means the stock has a potential increase of 92.42% from where the ICLK share price has been trading recently.
During the recent trading session for iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (NASDAQ:ICLK), the company witnessed their stock rise $0.37 over a week and surge $0.45 from the price 20 days ago. When compared to their established 52-week high of $5.75, the high they recorded in their recent session happens to be higher. Their established 52-week high was attained by the company on 02/25/19. The recent low of $2.73 stood for a -29.24% since 08/15/19, a data which is good for most investors who are looking to take advantage of the stock’s recent rise. A beta of 0 is also allocated to the stock. Since the beta is less than one, it implies that the stock is more volatile than the market, a data that traders are keeping close attention to.

Animoca Brands Corporation Limited (ASX: AB1, the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Collaboration Framework Agreement (the Framework Agreement) with leading independent online marketing and data technology platform iClick Interactive Asia Limited (NASDAQ: ICLK, “iClick”) to establish a strategic partnership with the goal to jointly develop and grow an online marketing business serving the video game sector.
iClick is an independent online marketing technology platform that connects worldwide marketers with audiences in China. iClick offers omni-channel marketing capabilities and fulfils marketing objectives in a data-driven and automated manner, helping both international and domestic clients reach their target audiences in China.
iClick was ranked China's largest independent online marketing technology platform in terms of gross billing in 2018 Q1-Q3 by Frost & Sullivan.
Animoca Brands and iClick (the Parties or Both Parties) aim to achieve synergies by leveraging their respective strengths, namely iClick’s advanced online marketing and data technology

platform and its data assets of over 780 million Chinese user profiles, and Animoca Brands’ expertise in mobile gaming, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and international markets.
Under the Framework Agreement, Animoca Brands and iClick agree they will utilise the expertise of the Company’s artificial intelligence subsidiary Zeroth for data analysis to monetise iClick’s users profile data.
The Company intends to invest up to US$2 million to develop the media and advertising business including building and developing products and services to monetise iClick’s China audience data.
Reseller Agreement
As set out in the Framework Agreement, both parties are working to finalise a strategic reseller partnership wherein Animoca Brands (or a subsidiary or affiliate) will become a strategic reseller of iClick’s online marketing services, with the goal to assist iClick to expand into the international video gaming markets currently served by Animoca Brands.
As specified in the Framework Agreement, the parties will work together under an arrangement to be formalised in the Reseller Agreement which is expected to generate revenues for Animoca Brands of around US$8 million (about A$11 million) in the calendar year 2019.
Animoca Brands will pursue opportunities in creative services, app development, branding and AI by making available additional services and/or solutions to iClick, to iClick’s clients, and to the Company’s own clients and partners.
The Reseller Agreement is expected to be executed in the near term.
Zeroth collaboration
The Parties expect to leverage access to data provided by Animoca Brands’ subsidiary Zeroth and receive support from Zeroth in the analysis and application of data through artificial intelligence systems and approaches.
Strategic rationale
The Company believes that the partnership will unlock significant opportunities for new audience reach and revenue generation in China, the world’s largest mobile gaming market with over 25% of global games revenue. According to a recent report from market intelligence firm Niko Partners, China’s mobile games domestic revenue is projected to grow from US$16 billion in 2018 to US$24.7 billion in 2022, and the number of mobile gamers is set to increase from 598 million in 2018 to 720 million in 2021.
On average, adults in China spend 3 hours a day on internet activities (source: eMarketer, May 2018), and digital media is an integral part of the lives of hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers.
Digital media has proven highly effective at reaching targeted consumers. China is the world’s second largest market in terms of digital advertising spend, estimated at US$62.6 billion in 2018

(source: eMarketer, October 2018); the partnership with iClick therefore offers notable opportunities for the Company to increase the market share of its products and services in China.
Strategic Placement
In order to support business expansion, the Company has raised A$6 million at a premium of A$0.098 per share from strategic investors including Katherine Yip, the founder of Pacific Alliance Group and co-founder and partner of Vina Capital, Moses Tsang, the founder of AP Capital and founding chairman of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific, Sonny Vu, founder of Misfit (later acquired by Fossil Group for US$260 million), and Yat Siu, chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands. The number of new shares to be issued is 61,224,490. The Company intends to issue the shares utilising its existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Management commentary
Yat Siu, the co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “By partnering with iClick, we aim to significantly expand the marketing and distribution capabilities of Animoca Brands in China. We look forward to collaborating with the largest independent Chinese online marketing platform, and to utilise this rare opportunity to leverage - including through our AI subsidiary Zeroth - the valuable data assets of over 780 million Chinese user profiles.”

And nice job on the ICLK...
These guys are really killing it, though i think its unfortunate that CEO Mathews is moving on. Having said that, the company did post very strong third quarter results as well as raised Q4 guidance, and the stocks got a lot of momentum behind it right now as all the analysts revise their models and raise estimates.
Just remember though that revenue growth is expected to really decelerate in 2011 with revenue estimates next year of around $121 million, or just a 25% increase over 2010 as compared to the 80% YoY increase in 2010 and 146% increase in 2009 (I think revenues grew almost 240% in 2008). Which means, if true, I think the stock could lose a lot of its momentum investors as next year unfolds, and some of the shine off the stock.
As for INUV, they too just posted very strong third quarter results IMHO with revs up 53% YoY to $14.3 million, gross profits up 63% YoY (good leverage), expanding profit margins, a smaller operating loss and a nice jump in EBITDA to $1.2 million as compared to just $52k a year ago.
Management continues to divest themselves of the few remaining non-core assets, with just one small remaining property left to sell, and seems very well positioned to now exploit their platform and growth initiatives.
Again, if investors think ICLK is undervalued and trading at around 1.5x sales, INUV is difinitely worth a very hard look down here at just 0.6x sales.
I added to my position just today.

bpvitale, thanks for the tip on inuv, i found this from the SEC filing. Looks great.

2010 would be approximately $14.1 million. This represents a 23% growth over the $11.5 million reported in the immediate prior quarter and a
52% increase over the $9.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2009. Management will be presenting at the 2010 Craig-Hallum Capital

Sound Analysis - Also watch INUV
I agree that ValueClick and others in the industry/sector currently trade at multiples between 2-3 times price/sales and that ICLK is currently trading below the group, at roughly 1.6 times price/sales. I like CEO Mathews very much, have been following him for a couple of years now and think he's done an outstanding job.
For those who own it at lower levels, congrats, and i think the stock will continue to perform well as the company continues to roll out their new OSM platform.
Another small competitor that maybe worth paying attention to is INUV, a stock i've been buying over the last nine months. INUV just recently pre-announced two weeks ago and expects reveneus to jump 52% YoY to just over $14 million and a 23% increase secquentially. They've got a new management team in place and all the insiders continue to buy stock.
With $51 million in TTM revenues, INUV is currently trading at just 0.6 times price/sales, so if ICLK is undervalued 1.6 times price/sales and going higher, INUV may really be cheap (relative to the group).
And if we apply a 2.6x multiple, it puts INUV at around $1.50 per share.
Good luck.
