Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

Form 8-K for ACTUA CORP
April 22, 2016, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were a total of 38,781,786 shares. Denn ich hatte mit etwas weniger umlaufenden Aktien zu diesem Zeitpunkt im April gerechnet. Und das würde auch bedeuten, dass sie noch 1,8 Millionen Aktien in 2016 zurückkaufen müssten, wenn das anvisierte Ziel von 37 Millionen in 2016 erreicht werden soll.

Going Direct Boosts P&C Net Premiums for Carrier’s Affinity Group Programs

A recent study by J.D. Power and Associates on the satisfaction of insurance customers indicates that carriers with leading digital distribution capabilities also lead in premium growth, controlling more of the tightly competitive market. As changing customer expectations make the landscape more challenging for affinity group programs, carriers are finding that direct-to-consumer digital distribution is the best way to improve acquisition of new customers and realize higher net premiums.

The result of this messages will be a cash flow from operations of 16 - 21 million from April to December 2016

We expected operating cash flow for the last nine months of 2016 will be very strong

Now as result of the improving cash collections in the fourth quarter and annual cash bonus payments occurring in the first quarter of the year, cash flow from operations was a use of $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 which was in line with our expectations and compares to a use of $4.4 million in the 2015 quarter.

To provide a little more color, the vast majority of our customer renewals occurred late in the third quarter or in the fourth quarter and we worked hard to improve the cash collection timeframe and as a result, most cash collections now occur in the fourth quarter which negatively impacts the first quarter.

We expected operating cash flow for the last nine months of 2016 will be very strong reflecting these renewal related cash collections. We ended the quarter at over $53 million of cash reflecting the operating cash flow as well as capital deployed to increase our ownership in the businesses

"2016 Guidance
Actua continues to expect (1) annual GAAP revenue in the range of between $155.0 million and $160.0 million, representing growth in the range of between 16% and 20% compared to 2015, (2) positive annual non-GAAP cash flows from operations in the range of between $3.0 million and $8.0 million."

Wenn die Differenz von 28.000 Stück die Rückkäufe von Actua waren, wäre das zwar okay - aber meines Erachtens könnte man da auch noch ein weinig mehr tun, ohne den Kurs extrem zu treiben.
 

Why Digital Now?

Customers take advantage of affinity group programs for the discounts and special benefits, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t hold the same expectations for convenience and personalization that are shaping the industry. In a recent study, nearly 74% of those surveyed wanted digital interaction options for researching and purchasing coverage.2  

The right digital distribution platform makes it simple for affinity members to receive quotes and purchase coverage any time, day or night.  By automating much of the application and underwriting processes, carriers deliver rapid and direct access to quotes and enable customers to quickly purchase coverage through the click of a mouse.

Inborn analytics also aid marketing efforts and enhance acquisition rates.  Through smarter customer segmentation and outreach, insurers gain the ability to draw better qualified applicants to carrier’s affinity group programs and also the ability to identify products that will reduce customer risk and provide greater protection of assets.  The problem for many carriers is that despite the advantages of direct-to-consumer digital platforms, many still miss out on attracting more customers due to a lack of product selection.

Acuta has only 2-times-revenues, no debts and growth of near 20%

2016 Guidance
Actua continues to expect annual GAAP revenue in the range of between $155.0 million and $160.0 million, representing growth in the range of between 16% and 20% compared to 2015, positive annual non-GAAP cash flows from operations in the range of between $3.0 million and $8.0 million.

Market-cap of today is idiotic low 316 million.
If Actua were valed like the median, the share-price of Actua must be $20.

The new estimate represents 6.8 times of Salesforce's sales, versus the median software-as-a-service valuation of 4.5 times sales.

Salesforce (CRM) Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff called out rivals Oracle (ORCL) and SAP (SAP) during the enterprise cloud company's fiscal first-quarter earnings report on Wednesday after the close.
Fiscal first-quarter 2017 sales grew 27% to $1.92 billion, while analysts called for revenues of $1.89 billion.

"I think that one of the reasons that we are doing so well is because Oracle and SAP are doing so poorly in the cloud, they just have not been able to make that transformation that we've made," said Benioff- "We just continue to take market share from them and gain customers at a record levels and you can see that their growth numbers are nothing like we're putting up here," he added.

UBS analyst Brent Thill suggested in a note that Salesforce can continue double-digit percentage growth, noting that the company's $7 billion in revenues for the last twelve months is a small chunk of a $75 billion market.

"The pace of innovation has not slowed, and there appears to be no cracks in its culture of excellence and customer focus. Sizable opportunities remain in large 'Cloud' product categories and international regions," he wrote. UBS raised its target from $92 per share to $100 per share. The new estimate represents 6.8 times of Salesforce's sales, versus the median software-as-a-service valuation of 4.5 times sales. Less

Why Advisors Should Be More ‘Iron Man,’ Less ‘Robo-Advisor’ - That’s why Foliodynaimix created this term called the ‘fi-borg.’”

June 28, 2016

Why Advisors Should Be More ‘Iron Man,’ Less ‘Robo-Advisor’

In the post-DOL world, ‘everybody’s reassessing what their digital strategy is,’ says FolioDynamix president Steve Dunlap

Robo-advisor, schmobo-advisor. There’s a new term on the block: “Fi-borg.”

The term, a play on “the cyborg financial advisor,” comes courtesy of Steve Dunlap and his team at FolioDynamix, a hybrid technology and advisory money-management company.

“I don’t even like the term [robo-advisor] very much,” Dunlap, who is president and chief operating officer of FolioDynamix, explained to ThinkAdvisor. “The way I look at it, it’s a bad analogy. Robots are designed to replace humans, not enhance them. That’s not what we want. That’s why we created this term called the ‘fi-borg.’”
