A bubble hasn't formed yet... For a bubble to truly form, mainstream investors must actively prop up the market -- like the way they invested in tech companies during the dot-com bubble. Publicly traded pure-play IoT and wearable companies aren't trading at huge premiums yet, while larger companies such as IBM and Intel have only recently launched IoT units as long-term investments."

While we expect Accenture's hourly bill rate for its management consultant will gradually improve to $220 by the end of Trefis forecast period, Trefis members predict the bill rate will rise further to almost $250, to ACN stock We currently have a Trefis price estimate of $52.22 for Accenture's stock , about 1% below the current market price of $52.52.

While the loss of a big customer is always a disappointment and setback for a company, on the brighter side DRIV can now truly diversify its customer base to achieve more stable revenue growth and perhaps a higher multiple without the outsized dependency on Symantec. Soon after DRIV's third quarter 2009 earnings call, Mr. Ronning purchased $5 million worth of DRIV shares and an additional $1 million worth of long-term DRIV call options in the open market."
