WageWorks - Profile

wageworks.jpg

WageWorks = SalesForce - 3 years ago {Benefits Market}

Founded: 2000

HQ: San Mateo, CA

Management: Scott Halstead is CEO and he was previously CFO. Before that Halstead was COO and CFO for eBenX, a publicly held health and welfare benefits administration company.

Investors: WageWorks has raised over $30M in VC funding from Advent International and VantagePoint Venture Partners.

Business Model: WageWorks administers voluntary employee benefits like health-savings, COBRA, and flexible-spending accounts. WageWorks is riding a trend where employers are giving their employees more benefit options and need to explain and administer these options - which it outsourced to WageWorks. The company operates the site ForYourFinancialHealth.com to make this happen. WageWorks reported revenues of $14.4M in 2004 and a 2100% revenue growth rate between 2001 and 2004. It has made several recent acquisitions: HCap Strategies, FBD Consulting, Sodexho Pass, and FlexBen. Clients include over 75 of the Fortune 500 including: Bank of America, The Bank of New York, Leggett & Platt, Limited Brands, Pfizer, Tribune Company, Union Pacific, and The US Postal Service.

Competitors: May but heads with the likes of Employease.

Dirt: WageWorks is doing it right. The company's offering is becoming a must-have for companies that want to treat their employees well. Its biggest problem is not sales but hiring good customer support - we assume they treat their own employees with respect.

ThumbTech:stocker - Some Fourth of July Fireworks With Washington Mutual

Thursday July 3, 2008

Remember everything we said yesterday about investing in "stable staples" of consumers and small and micro caps that are less volatile? Just forget all of it as we discuss Washington Mutual (WM:NYSE), a stock that looks worse than the fools who stepped in the ring Mike Tyson's during his early fights (you can also add Evander Holyfield and his chewed up ear to the comparison). And yet, we couldn't find a better stock to provide a bigger bang after the Fourth of July and beyond. Some people might think that the folks at tech:stocker have already started celebrating the 4th by recommending a stock that has dropped 38 points since its 52 week high to give it approximately an 88% loss in value for that timeframe. Considering most people would never buy a house again if their current one dropped 88% in value, it's no surprise people have been avoiding this stock as if it got 8 miles to the gallon and looked extremely foolish on today's highways. The reality is Washington Mutual (Wamu) is nowhere near as unwanted as a Hummer and should rebound over the next 24 months. The Hummer on the other hand will continue to...
