TiVo Announces $100M Stock Repurchase After Q4 Earnings Miss Analysts’ Estimates

[dfergie]

The DVR pioneer attributes its bottom line shortfall to an “unanticipated” $4.8M charge for its TiVo Research and Analytics business. Total subscriptions increased 33.7% from last year to 4.2M. This also was the first time in six years that the company reported an increase in the number of people who bought DVR service directly from TiVo as opposed to through a cable or satellite company.

A 34% growth number that's just horrible.

They do seem to have exited the hardware business with a bang!

I agree. Some 'experts' were sounding Tivo's death knell, but they won several major patent infringement lawsuits, are striking deals with cable, increased subscriber numbers (to include standalone) and just released a killer DVR (although I was worried after they released their buggy Premiere since it felt like a Dish DVR release). I now have four (4) Tivos (three with Lifetime) but I'm only using three and I'm considering getting Minis since the Roamio Pro is such a stud.

Tivo is profitable and heading in the right direction IMO.
