Yandex - wo geht die Reise hin?

....It's easy to get excited about Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX). It's Google , Uber and eBay

During the third quarter (Q3), Yandex recorded revenues of RUB 19.3 billion (USD 306 million*), up 25% Year-on-Year (YoY). This number was significantly higher than the market expected:....

Yandex Has An Ace Up Its Sleeve
.." .I believe that, against the background of the rapid growth in business activity, observed in Russia in Q4, as well as the simultaneous growth in the Internet advertising segment in the budgets of the Russian companies, Yandex (the largest seller of Internet advertising in Russia) will be able to demonstrate revenue growth faster than the market.

The next positive factor for Yandex is a marked strengthening of the ruble due to stabilization in oil prices.Despite the fact that Yandex operates in the Russian market, the company is forced to make sure the salaries of its IT professionals meet the international standards in dollar terms. The leasing costs alsoare expressed in U.S. dollars. Thus, the strengthening of the ruble will have a positive impact on the profitability of the company....Comparing the P/S ratios, we find out that, at the moment, shares of Yandex are only slightly more attractive than shares of Google. And, as I mentioned earlier, you can count on Yandex's revenue acceleration...Yandex will publish its financial statements for 4Q 2016 in February 2017....."

Yandex geht auf technische Intelligenz  
yandex.com/company/blog/...ndustrial-revolution-steel-oil-ai/
Since its inception, Yandex Data Factory (YDF) has pioneered an innovative way to create value for companies by applying our expertise in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to help solve their business needs. YDF arose as a solution to the problem many businesses faced at the peak of the big data craze. Essentially, businesses had begun amassing huge amounts of information, but were struggling to extract tangible value from this data.
The solution, of course, is in machine learning.

..Obwohl Yandex mehr Anteile am neuen Unternehmen bekommt, wird Uber mit 225 Millionen Dollar mehr als doppelt so viel Geld und auch seinen UberEats Essenslieferdienst in das neue Unternehmen einbringen. Yandex selbst investiert nur 100 Millionen Dollar. Dass Uber sich damit abfindet, künftig nur noch Juniorpartner zu sein, und gleichzeitig noch mehr Geld auf den Tisch legt, zeigt wie schlecht es aktuell um Ubers Expansionspläne in Russland und den anderen Ländern steht. Yandex hat sich in den genannten Märkten bereits fest etabliert und setzte den Angreifer Uber jüngst durch aggressive Preissenkungen unter Druck...

The agreement sent Yandex shares rocketing 17 percent in afternoon Moscow trade on Thursday and follows the merger in May of rival Russian taxi players Fasten and Rutaxi.

"With this deal Yandex eliminates an aggressive competitor which, in the long run, will lead to improved monetization and profitability," said Sergey Libin, an analyst with Raiffeisen Bank in Moscow. "It's a good deal."

The deal marks another pullback from Uber's breakneck global expansion, coming a year after its exit from China. It does have potential upside for the Silicon Valley online taxi hailing pioneer, based on its 36.6 percent stake in the merged company.....

Goldman Sachs (GS) believes Yandex (YNDX) will show a strong performance in the near future. Yandex mainly operates internationally in countries such as Russia as an Internet search engine.
In the medium term, Yandex could see huge growth in its market share as the e-commerce business could see high growth in major emerging nations (EEM) (VWO).

Goldman Sachs wrote, “Yandex is Russia’s largest search engine…We expect market share growth across segments in the medium term as well as continued growth of addressable markets. Recently announced JVs will also create substantial synergies, in our view.”

"Zwei russische Unternehmen investieren nun in die Amazon-Alternative Yandex.Market.
Yandex ist im Westen als russischer Google-Konkurrent bekannt. Doch in Wirklichkeit bietet der russische Internet-Konzern viele andere Dienstleistungen, darunter einen Kartendienst und eine Taxi-App. Zu den Produkten zählt auch die Online-Plattform Yandex.Market, das stark an den Amazon Marketplace erinnert.
Von Bekleidung über Haushaltswaren bis zu Spielkonsolen bietet der russische Internet-Marktplatz alles, was das Herz begehrt. Dabei verkauft Yandex die Produkte nicht selbst, sondern fungiert als Vermittler zwischen Käufer und Händler. Nun hat der Konzern einen Paukenschlag angekündigt.
Offenbar plant Yandex ein Gemeinschaftsunternehmen mit der russischen Sberbank. Dies geht aus einem Bericht der Wirtschaftszeitung Wedomosti hervor. ..."

" Der russische Internet-Konzern Yandex, der für seine Suchmaschine und Taxi-Service bekannt ist, will eine Mitfahrzentrale eröffnen. In der App „Yandex.Navigator“ startete am heutigen Mittwoch eine Testphase.

In spätestens zwei Wochen soll die Mitfahrzentrale für alle Nutzer eröffnen, erklärte ein Unternehmensvertreter gegenüber der Wirtschaftszeitung Wedomosti.

Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX) today provided an update on the timing of the proposed merger of Yandex.Taxi and the Uber ride-sharing businesses in Russia and neighboring countries.

"....Yandex is similar to Google or Baidu. In essence, it's a search engine that has developed new products and services around its main business. Yandex is focused on developing more efficient processes for industrial players. A good bet, as it's well known that Russia could do better in this regard. While international sanctions might hurt the Russian economy, it could very well stimulate further efficiency improvements driving by domestic firms. Needless to say, anything sensitive to national security will not easily be 'outsourced' by the Russians.
Another reason to include Yandex in this list is the drop from the highs. The stock is currently trading around $34 while it used to trade at $41 in February..."
