A look at Lyft after first post IPO result

Lyft is an America based ride-sharing company. They recently went public early this year and they are struggling to maintain a balanced share price. The stock started out at $ 88 dollars range after IPO but since sold off to $ 56 as of today May 7, 2019. The company started at 25 billion valuations but it’s now at 16 billion.

It’s first earning report post IPO was impressive but losses continue to grow. They did well, stock compensations cost the big loss and that usually happen in the first year of the business. This car sharing company has a better business model than Netflix and they will be able to cut cost very soon. They doubled last year revenue and made 776 million this year. If they can increase this by 50 percent for next quarter and make 1 Billion by Next year I think that fantastic. Netflix didn’t do this good when it started out and Netflix is now worth 153 billion. Lyft is still a baby at 16 + billion. They just have to not do anything careless to be great.

And Uber won’t be a fair comparison for Lyft either. Uber is doing a lot of things. Uber Eat, uber freight, Uber finance. Uber Eat is the best of their businesses. Maybe they will find a way to Spinoff Uber Eat to unlock values.

These products are selling at a record high in markets around the world. Nestlé is making money from direct sales, wholesales directly to the reseller, distribution to hotels, and other companies.

This statement for the period ending on March 31, 2019. The company reported N 19,122,202 profit before tax and it did not declare any new dividend price at the time of this report.

Operation result shows that Nestle has a positive quarter. 2019 reported number was up by 66% compared to the reported comprehensive income for the year 2018.

It’s a good practice for directors to be invested in companies that they are associated with. This will ensure that they make the right decisions for stakeholders because their money is also on the line. According to the recent report, only one director owns shares in Nestel company.

Mr. David Ifezulike is the Chairman of Nestle and has 56,255 shares in the company. The other directors have no shares in the company. The most alarming discovery is that the Managing Director and CEO of Nestle does not have any shares in the company.

Share repurchasing program

Companies usually buy their own shares in other to reduce the number of outstanding shares. A company can boost investor’s confidence by buying back it own stocks. This process allows the company to become its own investor; as a result, it reduces the number of outstanding shares. This can also improve the company’s earnings because only a few are left to claim the company’s earnings. Nestle reported that it didn’t buyback any shares this past quarter.

Nestle’s Asset declaration

Nestle’s Debt information

The company did not reveal much about its overall debt. It only shared little nformation about its short term debt obligation and this cannot be factored into how the company stands financially.

Nestle Nigeria PLC dividend declaration

Dividend unchanged, the company will stick to the 3.85 % dividend payout. Nestle cleared the dividend on March 4, 2019. Payments will be made to investors who are invested in Nestle stocks by May 10, 2019. The payment date is May 29, 2019.

Expressposting Nestle review

Nestle did not give enough information on how each of their brand product is performing on the market. They did not provide future guidance on what investors should expect for the next fiscal year. They did not discuss cutting cost or mention plans that will add value to the share price.

No innovations; Nestle does not have any new product on the pipeline. The stock price is still cheap, the company earned a total profit of N 12.8 billion and they are expected to earn more for the next quarter. The stock has been down about 1 percent year to date. We believe that Nestle will do it’s best to improve the share value for the benefit of the investors.
