| Linkedin not a bubble http://finance.yahoo.com The IPO of social-network LinkedIn will be priced Thursday. And when the shares start trading, a chorus of pundits will point to the stock price and howl that it is proof that we're in the middle of a new tech bubble. Please. LinkedIn's stock may well trade at a high multiple, and, like other high-multiple stocks, it will certainly carry a lot of risk. But there's a big difference between a high-multiple growth stock with downside risk and a "bubble." LinkedIn is an established company. It generated nearly $250 million of revenue last year, and it should do more than $400 million this year. It has three strong revenue streams: consumer premium subscriptions, corporate recruiting subscriptions, and advertising. It earns money. And it has a huge growth opportunity. These reasons and others are why many institutional investors are lining up to buy the stock. If LinkedIn's stock is priced in the current projected range--$42-$45 a share--the company will have a valuation of just north of $4 billion. That's about 10-times this year's projected revenue. Is 10-times revenue a high multiple? Sure it's a high multiple. But it's also a multiple that, depending on LinkedIn's growth over the next couple of years, could be well-deserved. Obviously conservative investors shouldn't buy LinkedIn's stock, just as they shouldn't buy any high-risk stocks. But screaming "bubble!" just because the Internet boom has produced another company that is worth a lot is ludicrous. It will be a "bubble" again when dozens of crappy companies with no businesses are going public at monstrous valuations --the way they did back at the end of the 1990s. username:mw tijdstip:2011.05.18 - 22h45m53 |
| Linkedin op 19 mei http://www.tijd.be LinkedIn trekt donderdag naar de beurs De professionele netwerksite LinkedIn trekt op donderdag 19 mei naar de beurs. Zoals reeds bekend raakte zullen 7,84 miljoen aandelen worden aangeboden tegen 32 tot 35 dollar per aandeel. Dat brengt de waarde van de transactie op 274 miljoen dollar, en de totale waarde van het bedrijf op 3 miljard dollar. LinkedIn is zo het eerste sociale netwerk dat een beursnotering krijgt. Daarmee brengt LinkedIn een kleine 11 procent van zijn aandelen naar de beurs. Dat kan nog iets meer worden indien de vraag erg groot is. Dan is er een overtoewijzingsoptie waarbij nog eens 1,18 miljoen aandelen verkocht kunnen worden. Op dat moment stijgt de waarde van de transactie tot 316 miljoen dollar. LinkedIn gaf al in januari aan dat het een beursgang ambieerde, maar tot dusver bleef het bedrijf nog vrij vaag over de exacte timing. De beursgang is een mooie test voor de beleggersappetijt naar dergelijke ondernemingen. Op de secundaire markten stijgen de waarderingen van gelijkaardige ondernemingen als Facebook en Twitter voortdurend, maar daar leidt de lage liquiditeit tot een vertekening. Met een waardering van 3 miljard dollar lijkt LinkedIn relatief goedkoop in vergelijking met andere, grotere netwerksites. Nochtans kan het bedrijf wel al winstcijfers voorleggen. LinkedIn haalde vorig jaar een nettowinst van 15,4 miljoen dollar op een omzet van 243 miljoen. LinkedIn ontvangt inkomsten dankzij premium-abonnementen en reclame op de website. De dienst rondde in maart de kaap van 100 miljoen gebruikers. Nu de kogel door de kerk is voor LinkedIn, is het uitkijken naar de volgende beursoperatie. Beleggers kijken uit naar eventuele beursgangen van onder meer Facebook, couponnetjeswebsite Groupon, muziekservice Pandora of spelletjesontwikkelaars Rovio en Zynga. Eerder deze maand haalde RenRen, de Chinese tegenhanger van Facebook, al 743,3 miljoen dollar op bij een beursintroductie op Wall Street. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2011.05.16 - 22h02m11 |
| LinkedIn naar beurs http://www.tijd.be 07:44 - 28 januari 2011 LinkedIn trekt naar de beurs De professionele netwerksite LinkedIn heeft aan de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC laten weten dat het werkt aan een beursgang ter waarde van 175 miljoen dollar (127 miljoen euro). Daarbij laat het wel niet weten hoeveel aandelen er zullen uitgegeven worden en aan welke prijs, waardoor er geen waardering op het bedrijf kan geplakt worden. De beursplannen(1) worden begeleid door Morgan Stanley, Bank of America en JPMorgan Chase. Amerikaanse zakenbanken cirkelen al een poos rond populaire, maar niet publiek genoteerde, internetbedrijven zoals Facebook en kortingenwebsite Groupon. De kans is dus klein dat LinkedIn de laatste beursgang uit de sociale netwerksfeer wordt. LinkedIn is een pak kleiner dan Facebook, wat voor een stuk ook de relatief beperkte omvang van de operatie verklaart. De site specialiseert zich in het uitbouwen van een professioneel netwerk, waarbij leden voor allerlei doeleinden niet enkel hun eigen netwerk, maar ook dat van hun contacten kunnen aanspreken. Dat komt onder meer van pas bij het invullen van vacatures door middel van headhunting. Voor beleggers heeft het bedrijf heel wat in huis. Tijdens de eerste 9 maanden van 2010 was LinkedIn winstgevend. De omzet van de site verdrievoudigde in de periode tussen 2007 en 2009 tot 120,1 miljoen dollar. Die inkomsten komen niet enkel uit advertenties. De site verdient ook een aardige duit aan diensten om vacatures uit te schrijven en te solliciteren. Sinds de oprichting van de site in 2003 maakten al 90 miljoen mensen een profiel aan op LinkedIn. Daarmee staat het bedrijf in de schaduw van de 500 miljoen gebruikers van Facebook, maar analisten roemen de verschillende relatief stabiele inkomstenstromen die LinkedIn intussen heeft opgezet. Het is nog niet duidelijk hoeveel aandelen LinkedIn wil uitgeven. De kans lijkt echter klein dat de huidige grootaandeelhouders van plan zijn om hun belang al uit handen te geven. Mede-oprichter Reid Hoffman en zijn familie hebben momenteel 21 procent in handen. Andere grote aandeelhouders zijn het investeringsfonds Sequoia Capital met een belang van 19 procent en Greylock Partners met 16 procent. Huidig CEO Jeff Weiner heeft een belang van 4,1 procent. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2011.01.28 - 15h04m48 |
| Facebook meer waard dan 50 mia dollar http://www.standaard.biz De Amerikaanse zakenbank Goldman Sachs en een Russische investeerder hebben samen zowat 500 miljoen dollar geïnvesteerd in de socialenetwerksite Facebook. De transactie waardeert Facebook op 50 miljard dollar, zo bericht de New York Times maandag op basis van anonieme bronnen. Facebook is daarmee meer waard dan gevestigde groepen als eBay, Yahoo! en Time Warner, aldus de krant. Het persoonlijke vermogen van Facebook-oprichter Marc Zuckerberg zou dankzij de operatie overigens verdubbeld zijn. De intrede van Goldman Sachs in het kapitaal van Facebook, versterkt de geloofwaardigheid van de socialenetwerksite, luidt het voorts. De astronomisch hoge waardering verhoogt volgens de New York Times wel de druk op de Facebook-top om de groep naar de beurs te brengen, iets waar ze zich sinds de oprichting tegen verzetten. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2011.01.03 - 11h40m35 |
| Skype terug naar beurs http://www.tijd.be De Luxemburgse specialist in internettelefonie Skype heeft plannen om naar de beurs te trekken. In het kader van de plannen om een volledig publiek bedrijf te worden zal Skype voor 100 miljoen dollar nieuwe aandelen uitblijven. Het hoofdkwartier blijft evenwel in Luxemburg. Afgelopen herfst verkocht eBay zijn meerderheidsbelangen in Skype aan Skype Global voor 1,9 miljard dollar cash en 125 miljoen dollar aan obligaties. Skype Global is een investeringsgroep van de private equity groep Silver Lake Partners. Die groep verkoopt zijn deel dus opnieuw, maar nu via de beurs. Silver Lake Partners is de zoveelste private equity groep die holdings of bedrijven publiek maakt om zo in te cashen op investeringen. Skype is sterk gegroeid sinds zijn oprichting in 2003. Skype heeft wereldwijd zo'n 560 miljoen geregistreerde gebruikers. Toch blijft het aantal betalende gebruikers volgens Skype te laag ondanks wereldwijde groei en het aantal huidige gebruikers. In het tweede kwartaal gebruikten 124 miljoen mensen Skype, maar slechts 8,1 miljoen maakte gebruik van een betalende dienst, zoals via Skype bellen naar landlijnen. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2010.08.09 - 22h33m10 |

| Skype dan toch naar de beurs eBay Inc. Announces Plan for 2010 Initial Public Offering of Skype Tuesday April 14, 2009, 4:37 pm EDT SAN JOSE, Calif.--eBay Inc. Nasdaq: EBAY - News today announced that it plans to separate Skype from the company, beginning with an initial public offering that is intended to be completed in the first half of 2010. Specific timing of the IPO will be based on market conditions. Skype is a great stand-alone business with strong fundamentals and accelerating momentum, said eBay Inc.s President and CEO, John Donahoe. But it’s clear that Skype has limited synergies with eBay and PayPal. We believe operating Skype as a stand-alone publicly traded company is the best path for maximizing its potential. This will give Skype the focus and resources required to continue its growth and effectively compete in online voice and video communications. In addition, separating Skype will allow eBay to focus entirely on our two core growth engines—e-commerce and online payments—and deliver long-term value to our stockholders. The decision to separate Skype is based on a timeline outlined by Donahoe when he became eBays CEO in April 2008. At the time, the company said it would spend a year evaluating Skype and its potential synergies within the eBay Inc. portfolio before making any decisions about Skype’s future. Donahoe also installed a new management team at Skype led by Josh Silverman, which has driven stronger momentum and improved performance. In 2008, Skype generated revenues of USD551 million, up 44 percent from 2007, and segment margins of approximately 21 percent. Registered users reached 405 million by the end of 2008, up 47 percent from 2007, and user metrics improved significantly throughout the year. The company recently announced that it expects Skype to top $1 billion in revenue in 2011, nearly doubling 2008 revenues. Under the leadership of Josh Silverman and his management team, Skype has become a stronger business in the past year, and I expect it will be even stronger a year from now, Donahoe said. Skype has accelerating global user growth and strong fundamentals, diversified revenue streams and is competitively positioned in a large market. We expect Josh and his team to continue delivering results as we prepare Skype for an IPO. Most recently, the release of the Skype for iPhone application has generated a great response. More than one million people downloaded Skype for iPhone in the first 36 hours after it became available—and Skype immediately became the No. 1 downloaded free iPhone application in more than 40 markets, including the U.S., UK and Japan. In just over a week, downloads passed the two million mark, putting Skype on more than 6 percent of all iPhones and iPod Touch – and adding almost half a million new Skype users. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2009.04.15 - 11h15m42 |

| Skype online problemen veroorzaakt door update: ---www.demorgen.be--- Software-update oorzaak van wereldwijde storingen Skype Een kleine software-update zou aan de basis gelegen hebben van de storingen bij het internettelefoniebedrijf Skype, op 16 en 17 augustus. Na het ontvangen van een update herstartten op korte tijd zeer veel computers, waardoor al die gebruikers tezelfdertijd opnieuw moesten inloggen en het systeem zijn stabiliteit verloor. Dat heeft men bij Skype maandag gemeld. Tijdens de storing ontdekte men een voorheen onbekende bug in de software van het netwerk, die de "self-healing" functie ervan beïnvloedde en dus voor de problemen zorgde. Van een aanval van buitenaf zou geen sprake geweest zijn. Met de software van Skype kunnen gebruikers via het internet telefoneren en tekstberichten sturen. Skype telt wereldwijd meer dan 220 miljoen geregistreerde gebruikers. (belga/dm) username:mw tijdstip:2007.08.20 - 14h41m09 |

| beats beats beats (again) EBay Boosts 1Q Profit by 52 Percent Thursday April 19, 1:14 am ET By Rachel Konrad, AP Technology Writer EBay Wrings More Money From Users to Boost 1st-Quarter Profit by 52 Percent SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- EBay Inc. is trying to wring more money out of every customer and purge the online auction site of shoddy sellers, a business strategy that executives say has already pumped profits. The company reported Wednesday that first-quarter profit surged 52 percent, trouncing Wall Street expectations thanks to big-spending shoppers overseas and scorching performance of its PayPal electronic transaction division. EBay earned $377.2 million, or 27 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31, compared with $248.3 million, or 17 cents per share, in the year-ago period. First-quarter revenue totaled $1.77 billion, up 27 percent from $1.39 billion a year ago. Excluding charges unrelated to ongoing operations, eBay earned $460.5 million, or 33 cents per share, up 34 percent from the same quarter last year. On that basis, which does not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, eBay was expected to earn $408.72 million, or 30 cents per share, on sales of $1.72 billion, according to analysts polled by Thomson Financial. EBay reported the results after markets closed. Its shares climbed $1.23, or 3.6 percent, in extended trading after closing down 75 cents to $34.45 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The first-quarter gains came despite lackluster growth in the total number of listings on the world's largest online auction site. Users posted 588 million listings last quarter, up only 2 percent from the 575 million in the year-ago period -- a far smaller growth rate than eBay typically records. EBay President and Chief Executive Meg Whitman said slower growth was the logical outcome of an ambitious effort to reduce the amount of overpriced commodity items that clog the site. Last year, the site was clogged with thousands of cell phone chargers, chintzy digital cameras, outdated MP3 players and other electronic devices -- and they often carried unrealistically high starting bids and reserve prices. Many got zero bids. "I think we made a couple mistakes in the middle of last year," Whitman told The Associated Press. "We frankly had too many items on the site." The company is tweaking seller fees to encourage smaller starting bids and discourage sellers from listing huge numbers of similar items. Representatives have been calling individual sellers, reminding them to abide by fair-use policies. And eBay is taking a more active role in combatting the growing incidence of fraud, identity theft and privacy invasions. As a result, Whitman said, the site has a higher quality of items, and the prices are more in sync with their market values. During the quarter, 82.9 million active eBay users exchanged $14.28 billion in goods, ranging from pricey real estate and cars to toys and shoes. "Conversion rates are going back up, so sellers are seeing more success -- and if history is any guide, supply follows demand," Whitman said. "We always anticipated a lag in listings growth. We are not unduly concerned." Tepid growth in listings didn't worry Rick Munarriz, a senior analyst in media, technology and the Internet for The Motley Fool. He said it was a logical consequence of purging shoddy sellers. "Last year, they were a trailer park, and this year they want to be a luxury condo," Munarriz said. "The current users are being milked more, but they keep coming back, so the formula is working." David M. Garrity, director of research at New York-based Dinosaur Securities LLC, praised the company's strategy to wring more money from users. But he emphasized that eBay -- one of the few dot-coms to survive the shakeout starting in 2000 -- needs to attract new users. The Web site should be far more interactive and addictive, lest it become the target of a private-equity takeover, he said. "Being a social networking site for Web 1.0 was wonderful," Garrity said. "But it leaves open the question about whether they'll have that position with web 2.0 or, shall we say, Web N.0." eBay: http://www.ebay.com username:mw tijdstip:2007.04.19 - 10h00m42 |
| expected good Q1 http://finance.yahoo.com EARNINGS OUTLOOK: EBay Profits Seen Rising To 30 Cents A Share On Higher Sales Dow Jones April 13, 2007: 04:52 PM EST SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) - EBay Inc. is expected to report higher sales and a surge in profit on Wednesday, fueled by growth in its PayPal online payment processing business and improving average selling prices of items sold on its Web sites. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expect the company to report a profit of 30 cents a share, at the higher end of eBay's guidance for the quarter and up from the 17 cents a share it posted a year ago. Sales are seen climbing 22% to $1.7 billion, near the middle of the $1.67 billion to $1.72 billion range eBay projected. Much of the company's (EBAY) growth is coming from its dominant PayPal business, which accounts for about a quarter of eBay's revenues, and which extended its reach over the past three months to thousands more merchant Web sites both inside and outside of eBay. EBay's PayPal has also managed to fend off a challenge from Google Inc. (GOOG) which has been heavily promoting its competing online payment feature, Google Checkout. Meanwhile, the average selling price of eBay items has also increased, analysts say, and so has the percentage of auctions ending in sales. The San Jose, Calif.-based firm also bolstered its ticket-selling business recently by acquiring Stubhub.com, a leading online ticket broker, for about $307 million. And while still anemic, eBay's Internet telephony division, Skype, is expected to once again see improved sales. Investors have bid up eBay shares 15% since the company reported earnings three months ago. All the advances will be enough, for now, to offset slowing growth of eBay auction listings, analysts believe. The slowdown of eBay's core business remains the biggest issue facing the company, according to recent analyst comments. Goldman Sachs analysts thinks the trend will continue this quarter, and also suggest eBay's U.S. auction listings fell 3.2% in the quarter, to about 258.5 million.

| paypal 35mio users SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- A milestone by eBay Inc.'s PayPal, a new advertising experiment from Google Inc. and a late rally fueled by the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady sent Internet stocks to a broadly higher close on Wednesday. While individual news drove some stocks upward, the entire sector jumped after the Fed held its benchmark interest rate steady Wednesday, saying its "predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected." The Dow Jones Internet Index ended the day up 2.2% at 101.17, while the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index added 47 points to reach 2,455.92. Among the bellwethers, eBay Inc. (EBAY) shares added 2.1% to reach $32.16. Earlier, its PayPal unit said it has 35 million accounts in Europe. According to analysts at Forrester Research, nearly a quarter of all European online shoppers use PayPal. Meanwhile, shares of Google Inc. (GOOG) gained 2.5% to reach $456.55. On Tuesday, Google said a small number of advertisers are now testing out a new payment scheme it's calling "pay-per-action." Google's current payment strategy makes businesses pay up whenever one of their ads is clicked on. Under its new "pay-per-action" payment scheme, Google gets paid only when someone clicking on the ad completes another action, such as visiting the advertiser's Web site, or asking for promotional material. In a note to clients Wednesday, Jefferies & Co. Inc. analyst Youssef Squali called the new charging strategy a "mild positive" for the firm particularly because it will give Google more insight into the behavior of its consumers. Squali rates Google at buy. username:moonwulf tijdstip:2007.03.21 - 22h07m25 |
