About: Yelp (YELP) by: Jacob Steinberg

Summary:

Just because a stock fell sharply recently does not mean it is cheap.

Yelp's business model of spending $50 million in marketing to generate $45 million in revenues is not sustainable.

Even if all analyst goals are met, we are still looking at a ridiculous forward valuation.

Revenue-wise the growth opportunities are limited for Yelp outside of the US.

Guidance of Yelp of revenues of 365 million for 2014 are by the market-cap of 4.41 billion on Friday 12.09-times-revenues - the 32-fold valuation of every $ revenues of the idiotic low 0.38-times-revenues of Local Corp. Such a divergence will never lasting. Guidance of 107 million revenues and more of Local Corp are by a market-cap of only 41.0 million last Friday only 0.38-times-revenues. Less

Yelp, Inc.: In A State Of Cognitive Dissonance

Jun. 6, 2014 4:25 PM ET

Summary
• There is a major disconnect between management’s rosy assessment of its total addressable market (TAM) and Yelp’s customer capture rate.
• Yelp has a presence in 120 cities, of which, 59 are international, yet in Q1 FY2014, revenue from international cities accounted for only 3% of revenue.
• The FTC is investigating Yelp regarding the 2,045 complaints it received between 2008 and early 2014.
• $928 million in insider selling for a company with market capitalization of $4.6 billion would make Grover Norquist blush.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet Ratings team reiterates Yelp Inc. (YELP_) as a "sell" with a ratings score of D+.

Shares of Yelp are higher by 2.36% to $76.40 in early afternoon trading on Wednesday.

TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:

"We rate YELP INC (YELP) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The area that we feel has been the company's primary weakness has been its disappointing return on equity."

"Yelp's market valuation is out of touch and prices the company for perfection

Investors reacted extremely emotional to Priceline's acquisition offer for OpenTable, which, by the way, was profoundly endorsed by Wall Street, and investors quickly looked for other potential acquisition targets. However, I can hardly see how Yelp's already inflated market valuation will help the company attract a buyer.

Yelp currently has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion and trades at approximately 250 times forward earnings and 19 times sales according to Morningstar. Truly stunning valuation metrics for a company that continues to post sequential losses and which can hardly be justified."

Hey Leute,

die letzten posts bzgl Yelp sind recht negativ. Seid ihr noch investiert?

Asiatischer Markt wurde bisher noch nicht erschlossen und ein starkes Umsatzwachstum (CAGR 470% 2010-2013) sind m.M.n. vorhanden. (Laut Q2 Report)

Freue mich auf eure aktuellen Meinungen.

Yelp gefällt mir sehr gut. Interessantes Geschäftsfeld und das Unternehmen wächst dynamisch. Im Bereich Internetaktien sicher ein Kauf, wenn auch nicht ALLIn wegen vorhandener Risiken (hohe Bewertung).

Yelp könnte an Widerstandslinie abprallen:

Hätte Twitter auch passieren müssen nach dem Fiasko ! Wer weiß vielleicht ist Google ja tatsächlich dran...  

Laut der Börsensimulation Informunity ist Yelp mittlerweile der US-Nebenwert mit dem höchsten Shortanteil, 65 % der in Yelp investierten Investoren sind dort Short:

www.informunity.de/...0&NS=0&VT=P&SC=C2R&SID=0

Angesichts der jüngsten Verluste die Yelp einfuhr wird die ganze Bewertung fragwürdig, weshalb die Shorties hier wohl richtig liegen.

Aktuel hatt Yelp eine Marktkapitalisierung von 2,8 Mrd €. Um diese zu rechtfertigen müssten sie eigentlich schon mindestens 175 Mio. € im Jahr verdienen (KGV 16). Wenn man nun aber nur +/- Null macht oder gar Verluste im Jahr 2015 wird die Marktkapitalisierung und der Aktienkurs in sich zusammenfallen wie ein Kartenhaus.

Binnen 2 Tagen fällt die Shortratio nun wieder auf 50 %. Demnach müsste ja wieder alles repariert sein.

Oder die Übernahmegerüchrte schrecken vom Shorten ab.
