Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

--ab und an lese ich in deinem Thread---und immer habe ich nur eine, die ewig gleiche Frage:

--Wie kann man sich soo in eine Aktie verlieben--dass man so viel überflüssiges dazu schreibt--

--und dabei das wesentliche der Aktie , nämlich ihren Kursverlauf völlig ignoriert. Seit 2015--eine der schlechtesten Aktien an der Tokioter Börse

--Heute: Kursrückgang von 7,36 %---

--deine Postings, Libuda, lassen mich fassungslos zurück---

Anleger bist, der sich am Kursverlauf orientiert.

Im Gegensatz zu Dir bin ich ein Contrarian mit einem sehr langen Anlagehorizont, der sich an Daten orientiert, wie ich Sie in #2871 dargestellt habe: KGV = 6,63 und Börsenwert kleiner als Umsatz - und das bei einem Internetwert mit ordentlichem Wachstum.

Denn ich gehe davon aus, dass die nachstehenden Werte zu einer Kurskorrektur führen, da ich keinerlei Gründe sehe. dass sich diese Werte verschlechtern, sondern auf der Basis des momentanen Kursniveaus  sogar noch besser werden und sich noch extremer von Vergleichswerten entfernen.

P/E Ratio 6.63
Price to Book Ratio 1.2563
Price to Sales Ratio 0.9142

Berechtigt wäre  natürlich die Frage, warum das außer mir so wenige sehen und der Kurs so niedrig ist. Das weiß ich auch nicht und das ist auch ein Grund für meine vielen Postings, die auf Antworten warten, dass bei der einen oder anderen von mir hier eingestellten Nachricht ein Haar in der Suppe4ist. Was mich enttäusch ist, dass ich hierzu fast keine Rückmeldungen bekomme, sondern nur unbelegte Pauschalaussagen, die mir in meinen Einschätzungen nicht weiterhelfen.

GLOBAL DEMAND FOR JAPANESE PRODUCTS ON THE RISE

“We’ve grown gross merchandise sales (GMS) about eight times bigger in the past five years,” said Haruyoshi Kinoshita, who heads up the CBT team. “We have about ten thousand merchants signed up to the service now, and it’s growing.”

Much of that growth is coming from neighboring markets like Taiwan and Hong Kong, but further-afar countries such as the United States are also demonstrating a demand for Japanese-made goods.
“American customers tend to go for ‘Japaneseness,’ really typical Japanese items. Japanese paintings, Japanese toys, yukata and kimono sets, bento boxes, even sakura-themed items,” explained CBT Marketing Manager Ikumi Nakashima.

“On the other hand, our customers in China prefer more practical items that they can’t buy in their home country. It’s quite common to see on the news here that people have come all the way from China to buy Japanese products from pharmacies,” she continued, referencing a recent tourism phenomenon dubbed bakugai (literally “mass-buying”) in Japanese. “Those are the kind of products that sell very well on Rakuten Global Market.”

E-commerce behemoth Rakuten Inc. operates its own peer-to-peer flea market app called Rakuma.

More closely, the Yano Research Institute said in June that sales volume in the peer-to-peer market is forecast to reach nearly ¥1 trillion in fiscal 2017, compared with around ¥657 billion in the previous year. The trade ministry estimates that the market size of flea market apps grew by 58 percent to ¥484 billion in 2017 from the year before.

Three Japanese consumer-to-consumer apps have become a must-see for online shopping in just a few years. Mercari, Rakuma (formerly Fril) and Otamart (on Android and iOS) are three serious alternatives to eBay in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The three leader apps

Mercari is the figurehead of this new trend in e-commerce. This Japanese marketplace was established in 2013. In a few years, it became Japan's most popular retail-to-private sales application. More than 10 billion yen are traded on this app every month.

Rakuten does not want to let small startups take their market share. That's why they launched their own sales application from individual to individual: Rakuma. If this market place has not yet succeeded in dethroning Mercari, it occupies a second honorable place in front of Otamart.

Otamart is a little different from these two main competitors, since it targets fans of Japanese popular culture, not to mention "otaku". You will find many goodies from anime series and popular mangas in Japan.

Perfect apps for a mobile shopping spree!
These platforms are totally adapted to the Japanese cultural specificities with different functionalities. For example, Mercari allows you to send your items through a konbini, which significantly facilitates the sale between individuals. Besides, the buyer and the seller do not even need to know the name and address of their interlocutor which is a plus for the privacy and security of its users.

The e-commerce offer in Japan is therefore much more modern than what eBay offers in the rest of the world.

Compared with other markets, the unique thing about Japan is that 2 domestic OTAs are holding close to half of the market: Rakuten Travel and Jalan (Recruit).

Rakuten’s messaging app Viber is the company’s key content play. It has just launched Viber Community, a chat space within the messaging app. Rakuten claims that Viber has one billion members globally, and it now wants to connect Viber with Rakuten ID, its wider e-commerce identifier, allowing it to promote its services across a wider base. Rakuten has also launched Rakuten Coin, building on its existing loyalty points programme. The company’s aim is for its loyalty points to become a kind of virtual currency that can be exchanged across Rakuten’s other properties. The company will leverage blockchain technology to deliver on its vision, according to Mikitani, who said that Rakuten has set the ambition of becoming the largest membership community in the world. It currently has 1.2 billion members and aims to grow this to two billion by 2020. The company’s aim is to enhance the supply of internet services, financial technology and digital content with membership, branding and data. Mikitani said that Rakuten wanted to use social media functionality to help build what he described as “the biggest Grand Bazaar in the world” – a model that differs from that of Amazon in that Rakuten will serve as a shopping mall for a range of merchants rather than as a retail brand in its own right. The company also aims to enter the Japanese mobile market as an MNO. Mikitani said that owning a network, for an e-commerce or content business, will make sense as a differentiator. “In Japan Rakuten is market leader and that is a position that we plan to maintain and grow. In Europe and the US we are building our ecosystem,” says Roca, citing the company’s sponsorship of FC Barcelona in Europe and the Golden State Warriors basketball team in the US as key steps in this journey. “Having a strong brand is the first step in that direction. This is why we have done those sponsorship agreements.” For Roca, video is likely to play a key role in these wider plans – he cites Rakuten’s acquisition of exclusive NBA rights in Japan as evidence – but exactly what that role will be has still to be fleshed out. “We don’t yet have a clear model that involves digital content. We know digital content is going to be a relevant block in building this ecosystem, but we have not defined that yet outside Japan,” he says. In the meantime, says Roca, Rakuten TV will focus on developing its “cinema at home” proposition, shortening the release window for VOD and ensuring that the company secures the key new releases in the best video quality available.

The new features are part of The Post’s ongoing experiments to engage global audiences
Washington Post chatbot on Viber.

December 3

The Washington Post is furthering its experimentation on Viber, a messaging app used by more than one billion people worldwide, by introducing a chatbot and a second collection of journalism-themed stickers. The Post’s global news bot is the first to appear on Viber and will be available to all users.
“Giving our global audience access to quality, independent journalism is of huge importance to us,” said Sally Burtt-Jones, Business Development Director for Viber. “We’re proud to work with The Washington Post to create a bot that allows users to easily find, discover and personalise their news experience and receive the top daily or weekly news stories within their favourite app.”

As the holiday shopping season nears a close, a recent study reveals that consumers are on pace to spend more on online purchases than ever — with e-commerce sales increasing 18.3 percent in the period starting November through Dec. 19, compared with last year. (That rate is up from the 16.9 percent growth rate reported in 2017 and the highest increase since 2005.)

Der japanischen Online-Händler Rakuten, im E-Book-Geschäft mit der Marke „Kobo“ bekannt, übernimmt die Technik-Rolle von der Deutschen Telekom, die bisher die cloud-basierte Tolino-E-Reading-Plattform betrieben hat. Tolino war 2013 die von Bertelsmann und den Buchketten Thalia, Weltbild und Hugendubel gegründet wurde. Mittlerweilen nutzen weitere Ketten und Standortbuchhändler Vertriebsplattform und Marke und bilden damit ein Gegengewicht zu Amazon mit seinem Kindle-Angebot.

Das Bundeskartellamt hat sich bei Bearbeitung des Antrags mit dem deutschen E-Book-Markt beschäftigt und beschreibt ihn wie folgt:
Die Plattform Tolino hat im deutschen E-Book-Markt eine wichtige Marktposition. Fasst man die Aktivitäten der verschiedenen angeschlossenen Händler zusammen, liegt der Marktanteil der über Tolino abgewickelten Verkäufe bei ca. 30 bis 40%.

Damit rangiert die Tolino-Plattform weiterhin hinter Amazon, der mit dem Kindle-Shop Marktführer ist und nahezu die Hälfte aller E-Books in Deutschland verkaufe.

Die weiteren Mitbewerber spielen eine vergleichsweise kleine Rolle: Der Anteil von Rakuten/Kobo bewegt sich im niedrigen einstelligen Bereich. Weitere Wettbewerber sind unter anderem Apple (iBook-Store) und der Google Play Store.

Safe and secure
One of the key reasons for Rakuten Viber’s continuous growth is trust, noted Djamel Agaoua, CEO of Rakuten Viber, at the Rakuten Optimism conference in San Francisco.
End-to-end encryption is an essential feature built into the Viber platform to keep private messages safe and secure. As a second layer of security, Viber deletes all messages from its servers once they’ve been delivered, ensuring conversations between users remain private.
“We don’t scan and store the pictures or videos that our users send,” he said. “We don’t search into their files or exchanges with their friends…. We don’t do any of that because we believe it’s their private content.”

Under the new agreement, Rakuten LIFULL STAY will provide its “Vacation Stay” property listings in Japan to HomeAway, while HomeAway will promote travel to Japan through its platform. “By listing our properties on the HomeAway site, we will be able to expand the number of visitors to Japan and attract more visitors to the rural areas of the country,” said Munekatsu Ota, Representative Director of Rakuten LIFULL STAY.

The collaboration is an indication of the current momentum behind the now-$100 billion global home-sharing industry. A recent Consumer Reports study says almost 75% of respondents to their survey indicated they would be open to trying home-sharing as a way to experience local culture. And following last month’s passing of the Private Lodgings Business Law in Japan, which finally clears the way for operating vacation rental services in one of the world’s largest, yet most crowded accommodations markets, the industry is getting another massive boost.

Börsengang im Frühjahr?

Wie das Wall Street Journal (WSJ) jüngst berichtete, strebe Pinterest an, im April 2019 den Gang aufs Börsenparkett zu wagen. Zu diesem Zweck soll das Unternehmen bereits einige Banken kontaktiert haben und sich bereits mit Experten im Gespräch befinden, beruft sich das WSJ auf mit der Sache vertraute Personen. Eine Kreditlinie, über die offenbar gesprochen wird, könnte demzufolge etwa bei 500 Millionen US-Dollar liegen. Pinterest strebe beim Sprung aufs Parkett eine Bewertung von 12 Milliarden US-Dollar an.

How the 2019 Lyft IPO Could Push the Ride Share Past Uber

By MONEY MORNING STAFF REPORTS, Money Morning • December 27, 2018

Lyft has so far played second fiddle to its rival Uber, but the 2019 Lyft IPO gives the ride-share unicorn a chance to come out on top.

According to a press release from Dec. 6, Lyft confidentially submitted a draft statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announcing plans to list its common stock publicly. That filing beat Uber's IPO filing by a day.

Plus, Lyft plans to go public before Uber, eyeing an early 2019 IPO date.

Although both companies operate in the ride-sharing space, they both have very different business models and offer different streams of services to grow their revenue and profits.

Lyft will have a significantly smaller market capitalization than its rival Uber after both go public. Following a private fundraising event in 2018, Lyft's valuation was set around $15 billion. That figure represents about a quarter of its rival's valuation.

When Lyft does go public, it could see a market capitalization of about $20 billion, while Uber is reportedly looking at a possible valuation of $120 billion.

But size doesn't tell the full story here.

Uber has been plagued by scandals, while Lyft powers on.

Uber was mired in a battle with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) over self-driving car technology.
