- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cogint, Inc. is involved in data analytics products and services. The Company offers cloud-based mobile user and data acquisition, audience, risk management and marketing solutions to the risk management industry. Cogint Inc., formerly known as IDI Inc., is based in Beverly Hills, United States. " (3/16/2018)
- 2. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We reaffirm our OUTPERFORM investment rating, but cut our price target to $4: We feel the value in the stock primarily rests in Fluent, though the Red Violet shares could have speculative appeal to risk‐oriented investors. The continuing operations of Fluent should have sufficient substance to appeal to small cap investors. The business has some history and continuity in terms of its management leadership. The revenue and cash flow generation are appealing. Fluent had provided substance for the combined company that enabled the former idi operations to establish an operating base. Cogint management appears to view the current position for what will now be branded Red Violet as sufficient to enable it to go forward on its own, particularly with a $20 million cash balance and no debt as a starting point."
