Kursziel: 200 Dollar für Die globale Universalbank E*Trade - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Hightechguru2000]

Kursziel:200 Dollar für die globale Universalbank:
Die Zeit für E*Trade scheint endlich reif zu sein. Mit der nun endlich abgeschlossenen Telebanc Übernahme hat E*Trade einen der letzten Schritte zur Universalbank unternommen. E*Trade wird nicht mehr lange als Discount Broker angesehen werden, mittlerweile bietet E*Trade schon Kredite, Hypotheken., Investmentfonds und andere Finanzleistungen im Internet an. Sogar ein eigener Fernsehkanal ist in Planung. Das Potential für eine globale Universalbank ist riesig.
E*Trade ist mittlerweile in rund 35 Ländern präsent. Bald auch in Deutschland. Die mit der Expansion verbundenen immensen Marketingkosten drücken leider noch auf den Gewinn, der Verlust im 1.Quartal (endete am 31.12 ,Quelle CNBC) belief sich auf 2Cents pro Aktie, weit weniger als erwartet- Robertson Stephens bestätigte darauf sein Buy-Rating. E*Trade Konnte das Transaktionsvolumen um 65% gegenüber dem Vorquartal und um 208% gegenüber dem 1.Quartal 99 steigern. Diese Werte sind besser als bei allen anderen Brokern.
Es gelang E*Trade im 1.Quartal 333000 neue Kunden zu gewinnen.
Dieser Wert zeigt, dass die Expansionsstrategie richtig ist. Um die Expansion voranzutreiben sind noch rund 1 Milliarde Dollar Barmittel vorhanden.
Der Kurs von E*Trade wird spätestens dann wieder steigen, wenn die Öffentlichkeit E*Trade nicht mehr wie einen normalen Discount Broker bewertet. Bei normalen Discount Brokern ist die Frage berechtigt, ob noch sonderlich viel Geld verdient werden kann, wenn die Preise weiter sinken. E*Trade nützt das Discount-Broking aber nur als Eingangstor um Kunden zu gewinnen. Die Kundenzufriedenheit liegt bei rund 98%, ein Kunde von E*Trade bleibt ein Kunde von E*Trade. Der Gewinnhebel setzt an, wenn der Kunde nicht nur sein Depot Online führt, sondern auch seine restlichen Bankgeschäfte Online erledigt. Experten rechnen damit das in spätestens 2-3 Jahre in den USA nahezu alle Finanzgeschäfte online erledigt werden.
E*Trade könnte dann in Umsatz- und Ertragsdimensionen der herkömmlichen Bankkonzerne vorstoßen. Kurse um 200- 300 Dollar wären dann nicht unrealistisch. Nützen sie die aktuelle Kursschwäche um E*Trade zu kaufen. Der Schlusskurs an der Nasdaq am 21.1.00 lag bei 23,56 Dollar. Ich kann Ihnen nicht sagen, ob Sie E*Trade nicht noch günstiger bekommen, aber lange werden sie Kurse unter 30 Dollar nicht mehr sehen.
