Davita which had $6.4 billion in revenues in 2010 and whose CEO Kent Thiry last year made $14 million in compensation has gone on a buying binge of anti-Davita domain names and other defensive registrations.
According to a recent story featured on Business Insider by Jim Edwards of BNET, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs provide 66 percent of the company’s revenues. Kent Thiry also makes his employees sing the Davita corporate song “hundreds” of times a year, among other interesting tidbits in the story.
In the last 52 weeks, DaVita stock (NYSE: DVA) has traded between $56.58 and a high of $89.58.
Now, it appears, for whatever reason, Davita has purchased dozens of anti-company domain names through MarkMonitor and DNStination, privacy and brand protection services used by heavyweights like Google. While it can’t be said for certain that Davita registered all the domains, MarkMonitor is a well-known internet company known for protecting popular brands, so it’s unlikely anyone else made the purchases.
