Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

als bei Lyft und Pinterest. Ein IPO ist hier m.E. noch weiter entfernt - allerdings würde ich aus der Sicht von Rakuten einen auch schon diskutierten Merger mit Lyft vorziehen - Rakuten is an Lyft und noch stärker an Cabify maßgeblich beteiligt.

Cabify grows more than 500% in 2017 and will triple its development team in 2018

Cabify closed 2017 with a global growth of more than 500% in gross revenues and travel requests, tripled its installed base and multiplied by six the number of trips made compared to 2016, according to the company in a statement.

The company of Spanish origin has explained that the growth is due to “knowledge and adaptation” to the particularities of the markets in which it operates, particularly in Latin America, a region in which it has concentrated efforts and created services to improve mobility.

“The company has consolidated its leadership in the corporate sector in 2017, counting its portfolio with more than 50,000 corporate clients globally,” said the statement, which also states that companies working with Cabify reduced their mobility costs by 40%.

It has also advanced that in 2018 it will invest in “strengthening and improving” its services in the cities, for which it will triple its research and technological development team. Specifically, the company will launch a new application for passengers and a platform to improve corporate transport.

Careem nails $2 billion valuation after raising $200 million in the ongoing funding round

Careem, the biggest rival to Uber in the Middle East, has raised $200 million in an ongoing funding round co-led by Saudi-based Kingdom Holding Company. The company expects to raise a further $500 million by the end of the round, which is expected to bring its net worth to nearly $2.5 billion.

Other investors in this ongoing round include Al Tayyar Group, Rakuten, and STV.

As a platform with 30 million users and presence in 120+ cities, Careem is uniquely positioned to tap into this opportunity by expanding into new verticals.

As of today, Careem has made its inroads into 15 countries across the Middle East and South Asia. Despite its limited reach geographically, the company already boasts nearly 50 percent of Uber’s user numbers.

Acorns Grow Inc could reach $700mn valuation in funding round

Fintech startup Acorns Grow Inc is planning a funding round that could see its value reaching over $700mn, according to Bloomberg. The company offers digital wealth management services, putting spare cash into funds managed by the likes of Vanguard Group and BlackRock. The app operates as a ‘micro-investing’ account, letting users have small amounts of money automatically invested in EFTs (exchange-traded funds) in what is becoming a growing trend in the Fintech space. Users can also control how much “risk” they would like to take with their investments. It currently has over $1bn in assets under management (AUM) and around 4mn people have signed up to the app so far. Some high-profile investors in Acorns are currently PayPal, BainCapital, BlackRock, Rakuten, Capital Group and many more.

Amazon and other big tech stocks are being crushed: Here's the simple explanation
Yahoo Finance•November 19, 2018

Reality continues to rain down on formerly high-flying big tech stocks. That reality? Sales growth in 2019 will probably be less explosive than 2018.

Blame slowing user growth at the likes of Facebook or more competition for Amazon from the increasingly digitally savvy Target – the fact is the sales growth environment for big tech is taking a turn for the worse. Sales for Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet are expected to grow 17% in 2019 according to Jefferies, cooling from a blistering 26% pace this year. That deceleration in growth is indeed something many investors in big tech are not used to.

The sales outlook isn’t that much rosier for other household tech names sporting insane valuations. Twitter’s sales growth is expected to slow to 14% next year from 25% in 2018. EBay’s sales are seen rising 5% in 2019 versus 8% this year.

1,68 Milliarden schon auf die Waage bringt, bezweifele ich, obwohl Funderbeam ansonsten eine solide Adresse ist.

Ich wäre mit einer Bewertung in der Höhe der Hälfte für dieses Unternehmen, wo Rakuten stark beteiligt ist (siehe auch die Finanzierungsrunden B und C, dabei einmal als Lead) schon sehr zufrieden.

is after my estimates between 15% and 20%:

(and I add: from Lyft after the IPO from Lyft)

"All this places Cabify in a perfect environment for an acquisition that will undoubtedly be very substantial. The company, which has carried out a brilliant international deployment based on a sustainable culture that in many cities beats Uber in terms of price/quality, currently lacks the technology to develop autonomous driving, although it could, eventually, reach agreements with tech companies. But the simplest route and the one its investors would likely choose, and they call the shots, not the founders or managers, would be the eventual sale to a bigger fish prepared to pay a good price for access to a key market.

To reiterate, I have little doubt that Cabify will eventually be sold and will make its founders and investors very rich. Whether that time has come or whether it should continue developing its expansion plans to improve its price is another matter."

Die große Preisfage ist aber weiterhin: In welchem Umfung und in welchem Tempo kann man sdie jetzt mehr als eine Milliarde User zu Geld machen=

und sich klar macht das die Aktie in Zeiten globalen ökonomischen Wachstums und haussierenden Börsen sogar deutlich an Kapitalisierung verloren hat, dann läßt sich die Frage nur so beantworten :
"Vermutlich wird es noch viele Jahre dauern bis Rakuten die Viber User evtl. zu Geld macen kann."

Und vielleicht eben auch nie.

was ist denn mit dem Besen den du fressen wolltest, wenn Rakuten bis Jahresende nicht zweistellig vor dem Komma notiert ?
Ist ja nicht mehr lange bis Jahresende.
