Jetzt geht`s endlich los !!!!!

Bin gestern auch eingestiegen, allerdings ist mein Kursziel wohl eher konservativ (25$). Bei meiner Entscheidung habe ich mich nur vom Chart leiten lassen. Die Umsätze der letzten Tage lassen auf eine Trendwende schließen. Heute gehts bei mäßigen Umsätzen abwärts. Ich bin mir sicher, wenn 20$ geknackt werden, dann sind die 25$ schnell erreicht.

Aber bis 20$ ist´s noch ein Stück.

Viel Glück!

Hmm...wohl nur ein Gerücht. Hast Du informationen wer sie
übernehmen will ?

Gruss

[felixdeluxe]

tja, was mit etosy los ist weiss irgendwie keiner!!!

und vor allem : der kauftip von robertson hat auch nichts bewirkt.
dabei lädt die aktie gerade zu ein zum geldverdienen.
thema übernahme: falls etwas dran ist (von wem auch immer)
dürfte es zumindest dem wert neue impulse geben!
die fehlen nämlich gänzlich -trotz ordentlicher umsätze

cu und ich bin gespannt

[sierre]

Ich bin von dem Wert sehr überzeugt. Mittel- bis langfristig allerdings. Meiner Meinung nach ist das Papier völlig unterberertet.
Ich bin damals zu $16 eingestiegen und werde wohl nun, da es weiter runter geht nachkaufen. Was Fehlt ist nur ein kleiner Impuls und dann liegen locker 100% drin, was mir gut reicht.
Sollte an den Gerüchten was dran sein, gehts sogar ein bisschen schneller Mal schauen was uns das so bringt, aber bin ja nicht in Eile.

Sorry meine Herren, ich habe selten einen so schönen und
eindeutigen Abwärtstrend gesehen. Wären Mergegerüchte da,
würde sich mindestens ein Boden bilden. Sell!

Unternehmensbericht:

eTOYS ANNOUNCES STRONG FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR ITS FISCAL THIRD QUARTER

Net sales increased 366% from a year ago to $107 million
Cumulative customer accounts almost tripled to 1.7 million
Average order size of eToys` domestic business was $67
Customer acquisition cost was an efficient $33 per customer
Site was 2nd busiest eTail destination during the holidays


SANTA MONICA, Calif., January 27, 2000 - eToys Inc. (Nasdaq: ETYS) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 1999. Net sales for the quarter were $106.8 million, an increase of 366% over net sales of $22.9 million for the same period in the prior year, and helped solidify eToys` position as the leading Internet retailer of children`s products.
Excluding non-cash charges for deferred compensation and goodwill amortization, eToys reported a third quarter loss of $62.5 million, or $0.52 per share, compared with $8.2 million, or $0.09 per share, a year ago. The net loss for the third quarter was $75.5 million, or $0.63 per share, compared with a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

In this quarter alone, eToys nearly tripled the number of people who have made purchases from the company since its Web site was launched on October 1, 1997. By the end of the quarter, eToys` cumulative customer accounts reached 1.7 million from 611,000 at September 30, 1999. Repeat customer purchases represented 34% of orders placed in the third quarter.

Average order size for eToys` domestic commerce business was $67, which distinguished the company`s performance this quarter and underscored the inherent strength of its business model. eToys` gross margin for the quarter was a strong 19%, reflecting the strength of the company`s sales in the absence of such short-term customer inducements as free shipping and price-off coupons.

Anchored by $25 million in domestic television advertising, the company`s ad spend across all of its business units (including BabyCenter, Inc. and eToys UK, Ltd.) was $36 million this quarter. Using the standard calculation of total ad spending divided by the new customers, eToys` customer acquisition cost this quarter was an efficient $33 per customer.

During the peak months of November and December the company shipped 96% of its orders on time; in all, 99% of orders placed prior to the holiday shipping deadline of December 18 arrived in time for Christmas.

In order to more tightly control its logistics operations and increase their efficiency, eToys said it is accelerating plans to use company-run distribution facilities as its primary means of order fulfillment and to decrease its reliance on outsourcing vendors. The company is currently outfitting and expanding an East Coast distribution center in Danville, Va., which is expected to begin shipping products in the spring, and is also expanding its existing West Coast operations in Southern California.

Commenting on the quarter, eToys president and chief executive officer, Toby Lenk, said: "This was an extremely significant and successful quarter for eToys. Our rapid growth in customers and sales demonstrated the power of our core business proposition and the eToys` brand. Overall, our strong traffic, robust sales, solid gross margin and high average order size exemplify eToys` leadership position in Internet retailing."
