Rakuten ist an Azimo beteiligt

FAZIT DES AZIMO TESTBERICHTS

Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass unsere Azimo Erfahrungen vorwiegend positiv ausgefallen sind. Dieser Anbieter hält was er verspricht: Die Kosten sind sehr niedrig gehalten und werden auf der Website von Azimo transparent dargelegt. Zwar verdient auch dieser Geldtransfer Anbieter nicht nur an den Transaktionsgebühren, sondern zusätzlich auch am Währungsumtausch, aber dennoch halten sich die Kosten bei Azimo in Grenzen.

Wer keinen Wert auf niedergelassene Geschäftsstellen legt und das transferierte Geld nicht innerhalb von Minuten benötigt, ist bei Azimo gut aufgehoben. Vor allem bei regelmäßigen Geldtransfers ins Ausland macht sich die Ersparnis durch die deutlich geringeren Gebühren schnell bemerkbar.

zu 2869: Der "richtige" Quartalsgewinn

Selbstverständlich gehe ich nicht von den dort angeführten 118 bzw. 114 billion Yen aus, was auf einen Betrag von etwas mehr als einer Milliarde hinausläuft und diesen Wert auf einen Jahresgewinn von vier Milliarden hochrechnen, da im Bereich "Others" erhebliche Bewertungsgewinne stecken.

Auch ohne diesen Bereich ergeben sich ca. 20 billion Yen Quartalsgewinn, aber eine völlige Vernachlässigung der Investitionen von ca. 2 Milliarden Dollar im Beteiligungsbereich wäre m.E auch nicht okay.

Im neuesten Quartalsbericht führt Rakuten an, dass 1,985 billion seit 2012 investierte Dollar um 2,381 billion Dollar zum 31.3.19 auf 4,366 billion Dollar angewachsen seien und sich dabei mit 29% pro Jahr verzinst hätten.

Um kurzfristige Schwankungen wie den hohen Quartalsgewinn von fast 100 billion Yen auszuschalten, könnte man die Verzinsung der 1,985 billion Dollar mit 29% ermitteln = 576 million Dollar im Jahr - im Quartal also 144 million Dollar oder ca. 16 billion Yen.

Daher halte ich einen aus 20 billion Yen und 16 billion Yen zusammengesetzten Quartalsgewinn von 36 billion Yen für realistisch - das sind auf Jahr hochgerechnet 144 billion Yen bzw auf die etwas mehr als 1,3 billion Aktien verteilt ein Jahresgewinn von 110 Yen pro Aktie.

Beim jetzigen Kursniveau haben wir damit ein extrem niedriges KGV von 10.

Chat app Viber now lets you buy local numbers that anyone can call you on

APRIL 8, 2019

There are clear benefits to offering local numbers through a messaging app such as this: Business people can get themselves a local telephone number to deal with clients, even if they’re traveling on the other side of the world; friends or relatives can call Viber users at their local rates, without being on Viber themselves; and Viber users can access their Local Number across all Android and iOS platforms. In effect, this means you can take business calls through your iPad.

“The new Viber Local Number enriches our users in a way that makes Viber the most powerful communication app out there,” noted Viber CEO Djamel Agaoua. “From expats who need a local phone number that connects them back home, to global business owners who want overseas clients to feel they are located nearby, this new feature gives them a local presence no matter where they are.”
At launch, Viber Local Numbers can only be purchased for the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., but it said that it expects to add more markets to the mix soon.

Cross Border in Europe

Rakuten’s European businesses are overcoming the challenges of cross-border commerce and language barriers to grow together, strengthening synergies and connecting the dots under Rakuten Europe CEO Toby Otsuka’s vision of a regional ecosystem.

First steps more than a decade ago has grown into an innovative network of more than 15 companies in this core region. Rakuten’s unique partnership with FC Barcelona kicked off in 2017, followed closely by a strategic global brand integration initiative that has increased brand awareness across the region.

Examples, like Rakuten TV’s expansion to more than 40 countries, showcase the group’s ambition, but its success is centered on the shared themselves — giving Rakuten knowledge and exchange of experience between the group companies a key advantage over many of its competitors. The latest example of how cooperation between group businesses can build a foundation for future success can be seen in the launch of the all-new Rakuten.co.uk and Rakuten.es shopping sites.

Upstart and Rkauten

Upstart raises $50m investment and lands new bank contracts

9th April 2019

The funding from Progressive Investment Company, Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan and First National Bank of Omaha brings Upstart’s total raised to $160 million to date. Upstart’s strategy is to partner with banks, offering its AI platform as a white-labelled lending application that banks can use to enhance their own lending programmes. The company has also announced new “Powered by Upstart” partnership agreements with First National Bank of Omaha, First Federal Bank of Kansas City and Accion Chicago.
Upstart has originated more than $3.3 billion of loans in the last five years, grew revenues by about 80% in 2018 and reached profitability in the second half of the year. The company says that 60% of its originations in 2019 have been entirely automated and approved in real time.
Now expecting to expand its AI platform to other forms of credit, the company recently partnered with Customers Bank’s BankMobile division to launch two new credit cards, the first to be powered by Upstart.

Last year, the company announced a $32 million round of funding led by Rakuten, the Japanese eCommerce company. That brought Upstart’s total amount raised to $85 million. At the time, the company said it would put the money toward future growth, as well as to help license the technology to banks, credit unions and retailers.

Rakuten: Japan's new #4 is going all cloud

Rakuten: Japan's new #4 is going all cloud

The core, the RAN, the home gateway and just about everything else will be in the cloud when e-commerce powerhouse Rakuten turns on Japan's fourth wireless carrier this fall. The system is working in tests today and the company is rapidly deploying radios.

CTO Tareq Amin played a crucial role at Reliance Jio, the greatest telecom disrupter of the century. He's bringing that spirit to Rakutan's new network, including a rare willingness to take chances on the newest technology.

Only a handful of people each decade have the opportunity to deploy a large greenfield network, Amin is now on his second one.

Everything cloud is a dream for most CTOs. AT&T was the first to say telcos had to learn from the web giants. It was a founder of Guru Parulkar's Open Network OS (ONOS) and Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter (CORD). Verizon and Telefonica are moving quickly to build a network close to what Rakuten has defined:

Amin tells Corinne Reichert, "This virtualised, cloud-based approach is going to save his company at least 35 percent in opex compared to traditional mobile carriers." That's a realistic goal; Lee Hicks at Verizon finding a 50% saving as he rebuilds much of the Verizon network.

Most CTOs have a similar plan but very few companies are willing to invest and take chances. Amin, starting fresh, can operate with a low-cost network that will be years ahead of most incumbents
