Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

Das ist eine entscheidende Frage für den Bewertung von ICG Group, denn nach meiner Einschätzung steht die 85%-Beteiligung an Procurian für mehr als die Halfte des Wertes von ICG Group.



Revenues of Procurian in 2013?

Last facts about Procurian in Q3 in the slide presentation during the Conference Call was excellent or the finest of the finest:

• Q3 revenues grew 26% to $37.5 million compared with $29.9 million in Q3 2011

• Q3 EBITDA of $5.7 million compared to $5.4 million in Q3 2011

• Completed the acquisition of Utilities Analyses, (UAI) a company focusing on comprehensive energy services that help clients cut utility costs and achieve ongoing savings in both regulated and deregulated environments

nur mit 20% hochrechnet, statt wie die 26% Wachstum von Q3/2011 nach Q3/2012, liegt man auf jeden Fall über 180 Millionen.

Meines Erachtens werden wir beim Umsatz irgendwo zwischen 180 Millionen und 190 Millionen landen.

Vergessen habe ich ich in #5751 noch die folgende Zahl zu Procurian:

•Total spend under management was $28 billion at the end of Q3

über den sie nach dem Anstieg vom Tiefpunkt von $3,40 vor jetzt mehr als zehn Jahren schon einmal war. Geduld war also angesagt bei diesem Wert, an dem die auch in den letzten zehn Jahren die Shortseller wie die Kletten dranhingen, obwohl das eigentlich absurd war, da dieses Unternehmen kaum mehr etwas mit dem Unternehmen aus der großen Internetlbase gemeinsam hatte.

Procurian to Manage Indirect Procurement for Harley-Davidson

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Procurian announced today it has been selected to deliver its global, comprehensive Source-to-Pay solution to Harley-Davidson. The leading comprehensive procurement solutions provider will help Harley-Davidson optimize spending in its indirect procurement activities.

finance.yahoo.com/news/...ct-procurement-harley-140000612.html

neben den immer noch erheblichen legalen Shortselling-Zahlen noch erhebliche Naked-Shortselling-Positionen einzudecken sind. Denn sonst wäre meines Erachtens nicht das passiert, was nach meinen langjährigen intensiven Beobachtungen immer passiert, wenn Procurian einen wichigen neuen Kunden wie heute Harley Davidson meldete - die Kurse von ICGE sanken, obwohl sie eigentlich hätten steigen müssen. Ohne Shortseller, die zusätzlich verkaufen, um den Eindruck einer zukünften besseren Entwicklung zu verwischen, ist meines Erachtens eine solche Kursentwicklung nicht möglich.

Und es war fast immer so, seit wir uns vom Tiefpunkt bei $3.40 auf das heutige Niveau bewegt haben.

ICG Group announced it has increased its primary ownership in SeaPass Solutions from 38% to 52%. The ownership increase was achieved by purchasing equity stakes from existing holders for a total of $13M. ICG is consolidating the financial results of SeaPass beginning December 31, 2012.

Dass damit die schon vorhandenen 38% auch ca. 35 Millionen wert sind, hätte ich nie geglaubt. Damit habe ich den Wert vorhandener Beteiligungen nach Investorforce (Verkauf), Channelintelligence (Verkauf) auch bei SeaPass (Aufstockung) zu niedrig eingeschätzt.

"Yes Scott, I think overall, yes we are encouraged by what we’re seeing just in general; there is more deals in pipeline. We've really seeing that probably over the last 12 months as the deals that come in from the top of the pipeline and I think what’s most encouraging as we look at is the number of large deals in the pipeline, really from the early stage to the mid to later stage as I mentioned and I think it’s too early to say that the market's reached a at tipping point and just to remind everyone I think that’s still less than 10% of the market's been penetrated by the players in this industry."

in 2013 noch einmal verdoppeln wird, denn die Fundamentals geben das nach meiner Sichtweise problemlos her.

Meinung vor allem auf Procurian. Warum auch immer, hat ICG Group im Rahmen des Abschlusses bei den konsoldierten Beteiligungen bei Procurian keine Einzelzahl mehr genannt, in Q3 wurden hier als Umsatz 37,5 Millionen angeführt. Auf doeser Baos vpm Q3/2012 würde sich ein Jahresumsatz von 150 Millionen ermitteln. Wenn ich mir jetzt die erwarteten Wachsraten von ICG Group ansehe, müsste da in 2013 mindestens ein Umsatz von 180 Millionen herauskommen.

Die Frage wäre jetzt, welche Multiple auf diese 180 Millionen anzuwenden wäre. Meines Erachtens eine Zahl zwischen 3,5 und 5.

Bereich ansetzen, würde sich für Procurian ein Wert von 720 Millionen ergeben und somit für den 85%-Anteil ein Wert von 612 Millionen. Allein dadurch würde sich bei ca. 36,5 Millionen ausstehenden Akiten ein Wert pro Aktie von 16,7 Dollar ergeben, was schon erheblich über dem momentanen Kurs liegt.
