Savings Experiment: Snow Removal
Why Your 2012 Tax Bill May Jump By $8,000
It was a nice Friday for Neutral Tandem Inc. (NASDAQ: TNDM). That is, the company's IPO got a warm reception from Wall Street -- surging 44.86% to $20.28.
You probably haven't heard of this company. The reason is that Neutral Tandem provides underlying technologies to wireline, cable, and VOIP providers. Basically, it allows for a smooth exchange of traffic across networks (which, by the way, is no easy feat). As a result, customers realize cost savings, improved network reliability and better redundancy.
Neutral Tandem has 79 contracts and the network carries 3.4 billion minutes of traffic per month.
And the growth rate has been impressive. From 2005 to 2006, revenues spiked 88.9% to $52.9 million. Neutral Tandem even posted net income of $4.7 million.
The underwriters on the IPO were Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and CIBC (NYSE: CM).
