Quote from doublet83:

At the 100B valuation people are talking about, it looks to trade around 108x 2011 revenue around 63x 2012 revenue. I would not be so dismissive of the name just because of the valuation though.



Your figures are wrong. Facebook at 100b would be the 25x revenue I quote. $4 billion*25=$100b.

You're right, I looked at the S1 again and its 27x 2011 revenue. I'm not sure what figures i was looking at before.

So at 100B, the valuation is actually very cheap. I can almost guarantee that this will start trading at a valuation significantly above 100B and remain above that level.

Wait till everyone finds the next new trend, people will leave facebook just like they left friendster, remember bebo...remember myspace that was sold for $500 million+ today its pretty much worthless, same will probably be said for facebook, facebooks growth is going to slow as they already have 850 million users, I am sure there are multiple accounts so in reality there arent actually 850 millions separate users. Anyway how much hype can we continue to hear about facebook and how much its worth, enough, as quick as this hype has skyrocketed it will fade, it always does...

This 04/19/12 article about the Facebook IPO was posted in another ET Thread. Worth a read I think.
