Priceline buys Kayak for $1.8 Billion. Was it Worth it? What Does the Future Hold for Priceline and the rest of the online travel Industry? Priceline made a splash last month with its purchase of Kayak software. They paid $1.8 billion for the company in stock and cash, which represented a significant purchase premium of $250 million (16%) over its recent market price/capitalization. In this article we’ll take a look at why they made the purchase and its significance to them and the overall online travel industry. The online travel industry is an extremely large yet highly diverse and fragmented industry. Total Online travel sales are expected to reach $116 billion in 2012. Priceline’s revenue is expected to be over $3.4 billion this year. The Kayak purchase is expected to be completed in early 2013. They can then add Kayak’s topline revenue of $225 million to their income statement. They are still a small part of this huge industry, despite their high profile. Kayak has achieved revenue of just under $10 million in 2011, so their income contribution relative to Priceline’s net income of over $1 billion is negligible in the short run. Go to Article |
The Facebook IPO Stock Price Decline and its Aftermath. What Happened and Why. Is the Facebook stock price decline after the IPO an indication of a problem? Or are price increases or declines after an IPO random and just part of the IPO risks an investor takes? We’ll take a look here. On May 21st, the second day after stock issuance, Facebook's shares nose-dived. With this have come complaints by investors underwriters – that they were led to the trough of false expectations. Is this in large part just the disappointment in a random negative outcome? Some of these investors are used to the immediate normal positive bias outcome for most IPOs. Is it just sour grapes here, or was there really any difference between the Facebook deal and others? Go to Article |
2013. Current Trends and Implications for the future. What has been funded recently and what will be in 2013 and beyond? The Venture Capital market has always grown in fits and starts. Although the modern venture capital funding market started in a meaningful way in the 1960’s, it didn’t truly blossom until the mid 1980’s. It was then that technology investment started to grow immensely. The next tidal shift occurred in the mid 90’s through 2000. This was generated by outsized investments in the Internet, Telecom and technology industries. The venture market grew to its highest money inflow levels ever, reaching its peak level of money raised in 2000 of almost $100 billion, eclipsing by many times its level over the previous decades, even adjusted for inflation.
