AKR.V - Ackroo Inc

Tout est au vert, par contre zéro croissance organique, rien, nada, ils perdent même des locations.

Ils peuvent toujours croître par acquisition ça peu être une stratégie viable mais ça prend un minimum de croissance organique à mon humble avis. 5% ça serait déjà bien. A voir si le recentrage sur AckrooMKTG va aider mais je suis sceptique car le produit n’a rien de spécial.

Espérons que l’équipe de simpleConnect soit un peu plus dynamique.

Il reprend vie

La business n’a jamais arrêté de bien aller. Le stock lui c’est une autre chose!

Ça commence à être intéressant en terme de génération de cash. J’aimerais bien voir une croissance des revenues d’un trimestre à l’autre à deux chiffres. Le potentiel est là.

GiftFly a quel niveau de revenus annuellement? Merci

Je ne crois pas que l’information a été divulgué publiquement.

Cela dit, historiquement, les prix d’acquisition payés par Ackroo ont oscillé entre 1.5x et 2x les revenus.

J’espère qu’ont est plus proche de 1.5X pour cette fois-ci :smile:
Le revenu par marchant doit être assez bas, il doit y avoir un moyen de faire quelque chose avec ça.
