Yes Facebook now worth more
than Yahoo, RIM (Research
in Motion), eBay,
Starbucks, Dell, Adobe
and Intuit. Its according to
latest financing valuation,
Facebook worth $50 billion
valuation, Yahoo has a $22
billion market cap and
eBay $37 billion. Here a
little confusion, according
to
Goldman Sachs Facebook
worth $50 billion, Forbes
thinks it’s worth $23
billion, SharesPost pins its
value at $26.3 billion and
The Financial Times says
it’s a $33 billion company
but still low in compare
to Amazon worth $83
billion and Google worth
$193 billion.
Facebook passed Yahoo in
implied valuation last
summer and the revenues
for 2010 are rumored to be
around $2 billion, which
gives it a multiple of 25
times revenues. In
February 2009, Facebook
valued itself at $3.7 billion
and its tripled to $9.5
billion in November 2009
and since then, its more
than tripled again in value.
Though its all some
confusion here but
Facebook is growing really
much faster. At $50 billion,
though, Facebook is going
to have to come out with
the biggest IPO in history
to justify the current
frenzy of private
investment.
Companies that are worth
less than Facebook:
~eBay: $32 billion
~Costco: $27.5 billion
~Research in Motion: $26
billion
~Dell: $23.8 billion
~Starbucks: $19.2 billion
~Yahoo: $19.1 billion
~Staples: $14.8 billion
~Intuit: $14.3 billion
~Adobe: $14 billion
The private valuations are
based on what a handful
of wealthy investors are
willing to pay.
