Why Digital Marketing is the Heart of the Bull Market (NYSE: CRM) (NASDAQ: DOX) (OTC US: GEGR) (NASDAQ: TTD)

By: OTC

The stock market has been in “Full Bull” mode for the better part of the past decade. But no phase of that run has been as aggressive as we have seen in recent weeks when it comes to investor enthusiasm, especially when considers options market activity. Call option bets from retail market participants have started to verge on all-time records as the retail audience asserts itself perhaps for the first time since the late 1990’s.

And one of the key ideas driving that strength is how new technologies are transforming old industries, with marketing and advertising sitting near the center of that narrative.

While you may not have noticed it, digital marketing and advertising stocks have been lighting up the scoreboard, offering brands increasing value as companies search for new and innovative ways to engage with end market consumers.

With that in mind, we take a look at some of the most compelling opportunities in the space, including Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX), Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM), Gaensel Energy Group (OTC US: GEGR), and Trade Desk Inc. (NASDAQ: TTD).

 

Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) bills itself as a company that partners with the leading players in the communications and media industry, enabling next-generation experiences in 85 countries.

Its cloud-native, open, and dynamic portfolio of digital solutions, platforms and services brings greater choice, faster time-to-market, and more flexibility to better meet the evolving needs of our customers as they drive growth, transform and take their business to the cloud. Listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, Amdocs had revenue of $4.2 billion in fiscal 2020.

Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) announced that Vodafone Romania and Amdocs partnered to jointly develop the Digital Experience platform for digitalizing the retail experience. This will give Vodafone Romania a 360-degree view of its customers across a number of touchpoints while integrating fixed and mobile communication products into a converged retail product. The project included moving several key components and capabilities into the AWS cloud.

The project is a key milestone in Vodafone Romania’s journey towards a technology communications company where strong internal software engineering capabilities enabled a new partnership model with Amdocs. Through the digital transformation of its retail experience, Vodafone Romania can now better understand its customers’ journeys by leveraging smart systems to interact with its customers in a more focused, tailored and effective way.

Even in light of this news, DOX hasn’t really done much of anything over the past week, with shares logging no net movement over that period. Shares of the stock have powered higher over the past month, rallying roughly 5% in that time on strong overall action.

Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) generated sales of $1.1B, according to information released in the company’s most recent quarterly financial report. That adds up to a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of 2.7% on the top line. In addition, the company is battling some balance sheet hurdles, with cash levels struggling to keep up with current liabilities ($983.9M against $1.2B, respectively).
