Broad recovery this week. Facebook finally caught a break after Zuck went to Washington. Microsoft is just 0.3B behind Google. MSFT is going strong after Ballmer.
There is still a 200B gap between the first half and the second half. Facebook, Tencent and Alibaba continue to be undervalued.
FB trailing PE is 30 while revenue and operating earnings are growing over 50% a year. GOOG trailing PE is 57 with 20%recenue growth rate and 10% operating earnings growth. FB is away undervalued relative to GOOG.
GOOG expenses are growing faster than revenue which isnât good. Unless they can prove any of the moonshots will be a viable business. Itâs not just R&D. SG&A is growing faster than revenue too. Thatâs really disappointing. Youâd expect better value from those expenses as a business scales. They should shrink as a percent of revenue not increase.
Geez youâre helping those guys. Let them prove it. Their âundervalueâ assessment is based on previous ATH is this, now is below, hence undervalued
I thought I made myself clear before? FB >> GOOG. Zuck is very business minded vs Larry & Sergei who just want to fund science experiments on the back of shareholders.
Googleâs crown jewel is YouTube. I donât think they have given it the proper attention.
If I guess, market cap wise, FB can not exceed GOOG in next 2 years.
Google spends lot of R&D money, temp cash burn, but those will result in profits soon.
Google is famous for giving free and later cash it on. The app waze will soon remove all GPS system. Today, it is free, but later it becomes subscription based.
Nest+cam will replace home security.
Even though google is making money in ads, Google is everywhere. They are competing with AMZN, AAPL, MSFTâŚetc every place.
They are giving free to get more users, but once they monetize, they are too big, easily cross AAPL market cap. They have lot of potential to grow, hidden strength to grow.
People have been saying that about googleâs R&D, since it went public. Their biggest things were acquisitions not even their own R&D: YouTube, Nest, Waze, Android, and Dropcam. Theyâve been spending $10B+/yr on R&D. Yet the best new businesses are acquisitions not developed in house. Also, over 90% of revenue is from ads despite over a decade spent on other ideas.
