Highlights
The presenter views WebMD as a company in the midst of an exciting turnaround following a perfect storm of issues in 2012 that culminated in a stock price decline of about 60 percent. New CEO David Schlanger - promoted internally from a corporate development role late last year - is in the process of recasting the organization. As the web’s largest health and wellness site with more than 130 million unique visitors, the presenter believes the company is well positioned to capture growing proportions of advertisers’ budgets shifting online, as well as incremental advertising revenues related to the Affordable Care Act.
