Days after warning that its fourth quarter earnings would miss the estimates of Wall Street analysts, DoubleClick Sunday said it retained Lazard Frères & Co. to explore "strategic options"
including a potential sale of the company. Other options being weighed include recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, share repurchase, or a spin-off. Following its weaker-than-expected fourth
quarter guidance, DoubleClick's stock price tumbled to close Friday at $6.36 per share, giving it a market capitalization of $806 million, according to Yahoo! Finance.
