When Facebook bought WhatsApp...18 Feb 2022 09:17
When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $22 Billion in 2013 WhatsApp had revenues of just $10.2 Million.
Clearly Facebook didn't buy the company for its revenue. WhatsApp had only just started to monetize its user base of 600 million active users.
Similar to MOS then.
1. establish a large audience
2. start to monetise it.
Not saying MOS will get bought out but continued strong revenue growth does put us firmly in the shop window.
Worth noting these things can come out of the blue.
And worth remembering mgt and quanta took shares instead of cash.
They did that for good reason
