Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

2015, 2014 und 2013 sehr unterschiedlich ausgefallen sindm wie man dem Aktienboard von Yahoofür Actua entnehmen kann:.

Net Income
-96,080
-23,556
209,059

In 2016 werden wir vermutlich wieder bei einem Gewinn von 80 Millionen landem, denn der Verkauf von Govdelivery erhhöht den Gewinn iin 2016 schon um 117 Millionen.

In den vier Jahren von 2013 bis 2016 sind somit Gewinne von 180 Millionen angefallen, im Schnitt also 45 Millionen im Jahr - bei einem KGV von 15 wären wir wieder in der Nähe von 700 Millionen, die wir schon auf andere Art und Weise ausgerechnet haben. Und im nächsten Jahr könnte ein Verkauf von Govdelivery, mit dem ich ziemlich fest rechne, zu einer Gewinnerhöhung von mindestens einer Viertelmilliarde Dollar führen - anslchließend wäre dann aber für vielleicht drei Jahre Pause.

.
A new generation is edging into the workforce and slowly taking over leadership positions.
At the same time, this group is beginning to inherit the wealth acquired by their families.
Coined Millennials, they were born between 1980 – 2000, represent the largest generation
in U.S. history, and as they reach their prime working and spending years, their impact on
the economy is anticipated to be transformative. 1 Millennials now represent the largest
share of the U.S. labor market and are increasingly becoming today’s leaders. 2 They bring
a new perspective on nearly everything, shaped by unprecedented access to technology,
globalization and economic turmoil. It should be no surprise that their attitudes towards
investing are also exceptional.

Millennials seek financial advice, but finding an advisor who understands their unique
fundamentals could be challenging. Advisors must adjust their tactics, offer a wide breadth
of technological solutions and a transparent approach to gain this generation’s trust; thereby
harnessing their wealth.

A NEW OUTLOOK ON INVESTING

Millennials came of age during the perfect storm of ubiquitous digital access and a global financial crisis. These experiences shaped a new breed of investors. Having grown up in a time of rapid change, millennials have markedly different priorities and expectations from previous generations.] There are several key differentiating factors one must appreciate about this group when seeking their business:

Cash in the Attic. Growing up during the Great Recession influenced Millennials to become fiscally conservative, comparable only to those who lived through the Great Depression.[16] They watched as wealth simply disappeared from their parents’ bank accounts and changed lives. These experiences have contributed to an overall investment approach that is heavily focused on wealth preservation. Millennials commonly hold the belief, “If I invest, I will probably lose, unless I’m extremely careful.”[

Totally Transparent. Having witnessed the aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the Bernie Madoff scheme, this generation of skeptics is committed to fiscal integrity. A Merrill Lynch survey found that only 19% of Millennials agree with the notion that advisors have their best interests in mind. They simply lack trust of the financial industry. In fact, according to a recent survey by Goldman Sachs, only 18% of young adults trusted the stock market as “the best way to save for the future.”[18] They require total transparency when monitoring their investments and a deep understanding of their financial strategy.

Constantly Connected. Millennials have never existed in a world where the internet
wasn’t in the “palm of their hand.” They naturally turn to online communities to
connect with everyone from handymen to potential spouses. As the first generation
of digital natives, they are accustomed to instant access to price comparisons,
product information and peer reviews. Not only do they expect the ability to
access their investments and financial advisors activity online, but they crave it.

Scholarly & Savvy. Almost two-thirds of Millennials have attended college
compared to almost one-half of Baby Boomers. Robust schooling, in addition
to unprecedented access to information inherent in the Digital Age, equips these
young adults to make more independent, smarter decisions than ever. They are
natural researchers, adept at culling information, parceling out what is valuable and
conducting thorough background checks on everything and everyone they come in
contact with.

If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them
Driven by client expectations of "quick, easy and transparent," the pace of fintech technology is accelerating, and it will leave financial advisors who don’t adopt it languishing in obsolescence. Financial advisors who adopt automated, digital advice stand to capitalize on the market trend while adding significant value with the human factor. Robo-advise will never replace human interaction required for more complex financial planning. Financial advisors who offer an omni-channel solution, in which clients can choose self-directed, advisor-assisted or advisor-driven engagement, all on demand, stand the best chance of capturing the assets of millennials and anyone else who prefers to have options.

“Turning to our businesses starting with slide six. While revenue growth was flattened, BOLT's bookings are pacing much higher. For the quarter, we added 400,000 of ARR from an existing customer and 300,000 in one time bookings. This brings year-to-date ARR bookings to over $3 million, which we should start recognizing as revenue in Q4. I should point out this is dramatically ahead of where we were a year ago, which was in the low six-figure bookings for the first half.”

Here is some additional color on the businesses. BOLT had another good quarter from an operating cash flow perspective, reflecting improvement in bookings where cash in received in advance of revenue and also tight cost controls.

Kirk Morgan, Actua Coporation - CFO [8]
--------------------------------------------------
And I will just add; I think that we were very encouraged by what we saw in the booking especially at BOLT and Folio this quarter. And BOLT over $4.5 million of ARR in 2016, we really begin to be recognized in Q4. But majority of it will be in '17, and so, I think we are setting ourselves up for a good 2017.

Erachtens auch diese Schere schließen:

voll und ganz zu: "The build-out of this business requires mission-critical infrastructure which takes lots of time and money but the completion of such can make the Bolt Platform an integral and sustainable part of the insurance industry with a highly-defensible moat."

Ich hoffe, dass sich die erheblichen Investitionen in Bolt lohnen, über poslitive Ansätze habe ich ja in den letzten Wochen auf diesem Board auch laufend gepostet, weil ich aufgrund der Aussagen beim letzten Conferenc Call etwas zuversichtlicher geowrden bin. Aber wir haben einen jungen sich schnell entwickelnden Insurtechmarkt, der Prognosen sehr schwer macht - Chancen und Risiken liegen hier dicht beieinander.

Nur zur Erinnerung: Neben Microsoft und Google gab es früher auch einmal Unternehmen wie Commodore oder Netscape oder Actua als Internet Capital um die Jahrtausendwende mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von zig Milliarden, um die ich mich bis auf einen winzigen Miniausflug damals glücklicherweise noch nicht gekümmert habe.
