re: a thread for ZETA

market makers know that retail interest is high on zeta and then you’ve got big funds that want lower prices so they can buy. There were 50,000 share chunks being traded AH yesterday and that kind of shite will definitely move a low volume stock. The market likes to remind us we are fighting for scraps

thus far (and I’m not criticizing anyone trading options) but patient holding has been the best way to own zeta. We have not had a lower high hold for any length of time since the rally from the 20s

35 is resistance it will take a major push to clear it

this is illustrative of how ridiculously ZETA sandbags. Now this could also be chalked up to “unexpected” positive impacts but it’s pretty clear that they have decided to under-guide no matter what

But here’s the thing. If you report a 30% quarter and then guide a 22% quarter to the market your business is slowing down, until it’s not. That makes for an every 90 days retest of the market’s opinion of ZETA and we can’t just move on to the higher multiple. The market is not stupid they know how deceleration will be received so it gets traded down. Can’t fault the market. That’s the game they’ve elected to play.

I’m considering taking some profits but I don’t want to miss the ride, if you’re correct.

how bout them apples
I’m at 100% return on my position at 37
Is it just us three in this?

details on the two acquisitions made last Q

Zeta Global 10k reveals how much they paid for their latest acquisition…

Senso (AI context engine)

- Cash: $7.5M
- SBC: $10M

Digital Audience (European asset)

- Cash $5.56M
- SBC: $13.34M

Total cash: $13.06M
Total SBC: $23.34M

The 23MM in stock is dilutive, but the stock comp from previous acquisitions is starting to fall away and stock comp as a % of revenue is going way down. Plus they’ve been doing large buybacks. Share count is up 5MM shares YTD or a little over 2%. Not terrible

Looks like just us 3. Youve probably stated previously.. but will it be a long term hold for you? Looks like we may hit those new PTs soon

Got in a little late with average cost just over $24 with just a handful of shares as I’m just stsrting tk build my portfolio. Been a great pick so far!

8000? You folks are out of my league. I’m sitting in with 40 shares

I got in a little late. Have 105 shares at cost of $26+ and also sold my calls for a profit of $700+. So my cost basis of my shares if I subtract my profit from calls is $19+. Just wish I had loaded the boat but I and deep in NBIS, NBIL and OUST which have been good to me also even with the recent downturn.

I'm in this similarly...got in on a short put at cost basis of 21.19 six or so months back. 500 shares. Been selling far otm covered calls since and avoiding earnings reports so haven't been assigned. My best % performer this year. Should have sold more short puts back then. Am planning to sell 11/27 42 strike calls tomorrow to either lock in gains or make some quick cash. Thanks cgrand for the rec.
