Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

aus 2017 momentan mit 1,51  Milliarden bewertet.

https://www.ariva.de/comdirect_bank-aktie/bilanz-guv

Der Gewinn in Dollarmillionen ist beim Rakuten-Banking in etwa dreimal so hoch. Nimmt man die Comdirect als Maßstab, müsste allein dieser Bereich von Marketing 4,5 Milliarden wert sein.

Im Gegensatz zu Comdirect ist beim Rakuten-Banking das Wertpapiergeschäft nicht dabei und auch nicht Rakuten, deren Gewinne noch extra betrachtet werden müssen und noch dazukommen.

Angst zu nehmen, dass sie von Amazon schikaniert werden, wenn sie zusätzlich auf Rakuten oder weiteren Marktplätzen anbieten.

Meines Erachtens genügen hier aber nicht nur kartellrechtliche Maßnahmen, sondern hier sollte auch das Strafrecht gegen Gesetzesbrecher innerhalb von Amazon eingesetzt werden - so wie dieser Tage wegen Geldwäsche bei der Deutschen Bank.

Wer trägt die deutschen Staatsanwälte hier endlich einmal zum Jagen? Oder fangen die nur Bagatelltäter gern oder werden vorn ihren Chefs ausgerbremst?

Net income of Rakuten Card alone in the last four quarters = 8,149 + 8,332 + 8,580 + 8,679 = 33,740 million JPY (1 Yen = $ 0.0089) = $ 300 million

As of today, American Express Co's share price is $110.82. American Express Co's Earnings per Share (Diluted) for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Sep. 2018 was $4.22. Therefore, American Express Co's P/E ratio for today is 26.26.

If the net income of Rakuten Card were valued like the net-income of American Express, the value of Rakuted Card would be $ 7.878 billion.

von Rakuten den Börsenwert von Rakuten haushoch übertreffen. Und das ist umso verwunderlicher, weil im Rahmen des Eco-Systems von Rakuten die einzelnen Bereiche nicht unverbunden nebeneinander stehen, sondern sich gegenseitig positiv beeinflussen, und zwar mit stark steigender Geschwindigkeit.

Daher auch meine Aussage, dass die Aktie extrem unterbewertet ist - denn wer Banken, Versicherungen und Tefefongesellschaften angreift und in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert, wird von den Angegriffenen, die wichtige Anlageentscheidungen treffen, gemieden und vielleicht sogar geshortet. Das würde aber meines Erachtens nur Sinn machen, wenn Rakuten für seine Expansion auf Kapitalerhöhungen, also die Ausgabe neuer Aktien angewiesen wäre.

Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da der Cash Flow giigantisch ist und man wie bei der Daiting Agentur auch nicht zwingend  zum Eco-System passende Untenrehmen zu Cash machen kann.

Und 2019 kommt vermutlich schon massenhaft Cash von den IPO's von Lyft und Pinterest- nach meinen Schätzungen zwischen 3 und 4 Milliarden US-Dollar, wenn man die gesamten Beteiligungen zu Cahs macht, wovon ich nicht ausgehe.  Aber ein bis zwei Milliarden könnte ich mir schon vorstellen, denn insbesondere bei Pinterest sehe ich die Nowendigkeit von Verknpfungen nicht übermäßig.

Langfristig wird sich Rakuten auf seinen inneren Wet einpegeln - und da liegen wir m.E. bei $30 und mehr.

Into the future …

Und Cabify passt so ideal zu Lyft, dass man sich Cabify aus Sicht von Lyft schon malen müsste. Und dazu kommt, dass Rakuten by Cabify ein dicker Eigner ist, dessen Anteil ich zwischen 30% und 40% sehe, und bei Lyft ebenfalls, wo ich den Anteil von Lyft irgendwo zwischen 12% und 18% vermute.

Curbside’s system centers on ARRIVE—a cloud-based arrival prediction technology that plugs into retailers’ mobile apps. ARRIVE tells restaurants when customers are outside the restaurant for pick up without the need for them to check in. Using updated traffic data and historical approach patterns, it also sends an alert to the store when customers are minutes away. Reliable time-based notifications allow restaurants to use these alerts as a trigger to prepare food so that it is hot when consumers arrive.
“Guests want someone to come out within a couple of minutes of arrival—and greet them with food and a smile,” Waldman says. “With this technology, employees can actually meet guests in the parking lot food-in-hand when they pull in.”
