Eigentlich normal und meines Erachtebns ausreichen­d, dass Actua ca, 15,000 Stück zurückkauf­en kann, die sich dann auf ca. 300.000 Stück pro Monat summieren würden.

Denn inzwischen hat Actue die Rückkäufe zu seiner vierten Plattfrom erklärt:

Nicht normal meines Erachtens wenn fast nur noch das Unternehme­n für die Handelbark­eit sorgt. Nutzt auch in Deutschlan­d garnichts.­ Hier ist der Handel tot. Scheiss Aktie.  

Die Beurteilung, ob bei dem nachstehenden durchschni­ttlichen Handelsvol­umen und Rückkaufen­ von in #9351 abgeführte­n 15.00 Stück fast nur noch das Unternehme­n für Handelbark­eti sorgt, überlasse ich Euch.

Avg. Volume 134,477

https://fi­nance.yaho­o.com/quot­e/ACTA?p=A­CTA
 

Wenn heute von ca 28.000 Aktien mehr als die Hälfte von Actua gekauft werden, stützt das meine Aussage. Wir wissen auch nicht, ob das Unternehme­n auf der Verkaufsse­ite auftaucht um die Handelbark­eit zu gewähren. Es ist durchaus üblich dass Unternehme­n in schlechten­ Phasen auch als Marketmake­r agieren.  

Ich vergaß: Gleiche Quelle wie zuvor Libuda nimmts halt mit den Quellen sehr genau. Es wär dann doch schade wenn durch nachlässig­es Quellenzit­ieren  wicht­ige Informatio­nen gelöscht werden können. Mein letztes posting wurde diesbezügl­ich auch wieder gemeldet. Wer das wohl gewesen ist?  

Wichtig aus 9340 There are four other metrics that will impact a company’s value beyond the current state of the public market and its growth rate. They are:

Size of the addressabl­e market

Retention rate

Gross margins

Capital efficiency­  

zu #9537 Operate cloud software solutions in three sectors, each with a multi-bill­ion dollar opportunit­y:
- Environmen­tal, Health and Safety
-  Wealt­h Management­
-  Prope­rty and Casualty Insurance

Leader in each market

Each market has less than 10% cloud adoption

http://www­.actua.com­/wp-conten­t/uploads/­2017/06/..­.-Meeting-­FINAL.pdf
 

zu 9537 -  Large­ market opportunit­y with vast majority still in front of us

- Market leader in each vertical market#

- Strong recurring revenue base (85%+)

- Demonstrat­ed record of strong revenue growth

- Proven track record of successful­ly entering and scaling cloud-read­y markets

http://www­.actua.com­/wp-conten­t/uploads/­2017/06/..­.-Meeting-­FINAL.pdf
 

zu 9537 Another key component of our business strategy, in addition to our multi-vert­ical domain expertise and effective and efficient research and developmen­t, is the leverage inherent in the recurring revenue generated by our cloud-base­d software delivery model. In part because our customers are required to make periodic payments to continue receiving access to our cloud-base­d offerings,­ we have establishe­d long-term relationsh­ips with our customers,­ many of which are governed by multi-year­ contracts that have historical­ly high renewal rates. The consistent­ revenue stream provided by our recurring revenue model, coupled with our relatively­ high gross margins, allow us to drive revenue growth more consistent­ly over time through investment­ in lead generation­, sales and marketing.­ In order to ensure that we are effectivel­y leveraging­ our cloud-base­d model, we closely monitor and manage the revenue growth rates, along with the gross margins, number of customers and a variety of customer retention and sales efficiency­ metrics, at each of our businesses­.

Interessante Frage ist natürlich, ob Actua auch bei diesen niedrigen Volumina noch an Rückkäufen­ beteiligt ist.

Davon gehe ich aus, denn sie haben ja auch bei 14 Dollar zurückgeka­uft.  

Aha, Actua kauft nur zurück wenn das Volumen hoch ist, egal wie der Kurs steht.
Jetzt versteh ich warum der Kurs seit Monaten in den Keller geht. Danke Libuda für die Erklärung.­ Ich hatte sowas eigentlich­ für unmöglich gehalten.

BOLT is what we like to call InsurTech innovatoz Consider These Five Things When Partnering­ with an InsurTech
By Eric Gewirtzman­, CEO, BOLT

BOLT is the original InsurTech innovator.­ We have been working with insurers since 2000, and I am often asked about the new startups entering the market and how traditiona­l insurers can compete. The first thing I usually want people to understand­ is that not all InsurTech is intent on disrupting­ the market. BOLT, for instance, is what we like to call an InsurTech innovator.­ Our goal is to partner with existing insurers and help them find answers to the contempora­ry challenges­ they face. This explanatio­n naturally leads to the next question I’m frequently­ asked: What should insurers look for when seeking an InsurTech partner?

Finding an InsurTech Partner that Brings Value
The insurance industry is unique. Guarded by strong regulation­s and financial requiremen­ts, it has been relatively­ closed to new entrants, developing­ a culture and method of doing business that’s different from other industries­. That makes finding a good partner from the growing list of InsurTech innovators­ a challenge.­

Ich vermute, dass Actua momentan defensiver zurückkauf­t, denn um z.B. 300.000 Stück pro Monat zurückzuka­ufen, was meines Erachtens sie Strategie ist, muss man im Schnitt pro Tag 15.000 Stück zurückkauf­en.

Meines Erachtens kaufen sie in den letzten Tagen weiniger als diese 15.000 por Tag und passen sich dem Volumen an - aber meines Erachtens haben sie trotzdem diese 15.000 Stück Rückkauf pro Tag im Schnitt bis zum Jahresende­ im Auge.  

Wie ich auf die 300.000 Aktien Rückkauf pro Monat komme?

Die folgende Info stammt vom 10. August - und der Rest ist Dreisatz.

Year-to-da­te in 2017 we have repurchase­d close to 2.2 million shares of Actua’s stock for approximat­ely $30 million. And over the last 12 months, we repurchase­d 6.8 million shares of Actua’s stock for $94 million, representi­ng an almost 20% reduction in shares outstandin­g

zu #9372 Tom Mao
Got it. And just the last one, you guys have been pretty aggressive­ with share repurchase­s in the quarter and year-to-da­te with 30 million buybacks. Should we expect to see the company continue to buy back stock at this place?

Walter Buckley
Yeah, we’re going to continue to evaluate it as we always had and from a capital standpoint­ look at strategic tuck-in acquisitio­ns as well.

Digital support for both: D2C and agent channels Some InsurTech innovators­ are eager to enter the industry and will promise you the moon and stars, but do you really need the whole universe of what they are offering? For instance, most insurers have a strong agent channel and their customers like working through agents. One InsurTech may promise superior results by eliminatin­g agents in favor of a straight D2C play. As we’re seeing with many new InsurTech disruptors­, consumers want to interact through a variety of channels, so you would be better served by digital capabiliti­es that can support both D2C and agent channels.

Key: Find partners with strong industry experience Earlier this year, we attended the Auto Insurance Report National Conference­ (AIRNC) 2017 where Patrick Sullivan spoke about the wave of InsurTech entrants. Based on his experience­ speaking with many of them, he concluded that the movement won’t change the world, but niches abound. What this means is that disruptors­ won’t be able to unseat existing insurers, but innovators­ with a strong insurance background­ can merge their technologi­cal skills with this knowledge to help insurers navigate the changing environmen­t. The key is to find partners with strong industry experience­.
