Analyst Timothy McHugh estimated that the company would earn $0.32 per share in 2008, $0.27 per share in 2009, and $0.42 per share in 2010.
"We believe that demand for online recruitment services will benefit during the next few years from a continued shift in recruitment advertising spending from newspapers to the Internet, steady increases in job turnover, a shortage of qualified workers due to the retirement of the baby boomer generation, and an eventual cyclical improvement in the labor market," McHugh said. "Underlying the growth of the online recruiting industry, we believe specialized career Web sites are growing slightly faster than the overall industry right now. Dice's focus on specific industries tends to produce a more-targeted set of job-seekers and employment opportunities, and better attracts higher-end and passive job-seekers. We believe these attributes are attractive to customers, which are becoming more sophisticated about analyzing the return on investment from online recruiting."
McHugh continued, "The online recruitment industry is an evolving industry, so competition will remain fierce. In addition, both the timing and pace of an eventual economic recovery remain difficult to predict. We believe, however, that Dice Holdings' experienced management team, established brands, vertical-industry focus, and attractive growth opportunities leave it well positioned to cope with these risks. We thus believe that Dice Holdings will generate solid revenue and earnings growth during the next few years."
