I am not a large user of social media. I’ve a Facebook web page, which I often don’t visit, respond to pokes and don’t post on at all never. I tweet, but my 820 lifetime tweets pale in comparison to prolific tweeters, during a month who tweet that many times.
That said, I have been fascinated with, and have adopted, both companies from just prior to their public offerings and not just have learned about the interpersonal media business but even more about my limitations in assessing their ideals. In its short life as a general public company, Facebook has acquired a reputation of being a company that not only manages to make money while it expands but is also in a position to be visionary and pragmatic, at exactly the same time. The market’s reaction to this positive survey was positive mostly, with the stock increasing 14% in the after market.
80/share, in November 2015 which i approximated for the company, reflects the stable rise that I have reported in my own intrinsic value estimates for the company during the last five years. 102/talk about, on February 12 the stock was near to fairly priced, at least based on my inputs. I am certain that you will see other people who will put Facebook under a microscope to find its formula for success, but there are two activities that are illustrative of the company’s mentality. The first was its aforementioned conquest of the mobile market, where it badly lagged its competitors at the time of it IPO.

Rather than find excuses for its poor performance, the company returned to the drawing board and created a mobile version which not only improved user experience but provided a system for ad profits. 20 billion and provoked a great deal of head scratching among value minded people at time, since Whatsapp experienced in earnings no profits at the time little. 100/user. That acquisition may have been driven by pricing motivations but they have yielded a value windfall for the company, in Asia and Latin America especially, with more than 100 million Whatsapp users in India just.
45. At the right time, Tom Gardner, co-founder of Motley Fool and a person that I’ve much respect for, commented on my valuation (on this blog) and suggested which i was under estimating both Facebook’s potential and its management. He was right, I had been wrong, but I have no regrets! If Facebook is evidence that you can convert a large social media base into a small business platform to deliver advertising and more, Twitter is the cautionary note on the down sides of doing so. 14.31, immediately after the survey.
The positive revenue may win over you, but understand that this is the reengineered and altered version of earnings, where stock centered settlement is added back and other sleights of hand are performed to make negative quantities into positive ones. Much like Facebook, In October 2013 I first valued Twitter, right before its IPO and arrived at an estimate of value of 17.36 per talk about.
70, generally on targets that it could quickly convert its potential (user base) into income and profits. However, in the three years since Twitter went open public, it is disappointing how little that narrative has transformed. In fact, after the most recent cash flow report, my narrative for Twitter remains unchanged from my preliminary one almost, and it is more negative than it was in the center of last year. So what’s gone wrong at Twitter? Some of the problems lie in its structure and it is more difficult to both attract advertising and present that advertising in a non-intrusive way to users in a Tweet stream.
I can make a confession. Some of the problems though have to be traced back to the way the company has been managed and the options it has made since going public. In my view, Twitter has been much too focused on keeping Wall Street analysts happy and too little on building a business. Initially, that strategy paid in rising stock prices, as experts told the ongoing company that the overall game was all about delivering more users and the company shipped appropriately. Can the nagging problems be set? Perhaps, but time out is running. With young companies, the perception of being in big trouble can very lead to a death spiral easily, where employees and customers start abandoning you for greener pastures.
