Tidefall Capital Management in their Q3 2020 Investor Letter said that they were able to distinguish a value in Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB). Facebook, Inc. is a social networking service company that currently has a $715.9 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, FB delivered a -5.48% return and settled at $251.36 per share at the closing of January 15th.
Here is what Tidefall Capital Management has to say about Facebook, Inc. in their Investor Letter:
“Facebook is one of the best businesses in history. Its content is free, its distribution is free and its
value improves as more users join. Revenue is a function of ad rates which are derived from understanding its customer, a data point that increases over time due to improving algorithms.
There are very serious concerns with social media’s effect on society, and government regulation
needs to be updated but this is a solvable problem. In addition, competition will remain fierce but with
such a well developed ecosystem, new social media competitors are unlikely to be disruptive.
WhatsApp has billions of users, Facebook Groups has created inescapable micro-communities and
Instagram remains a vibrant network even after the ascent of TikTok. Facebook’s ability to move their
platforms into in-app commerce offers an exciting new vertical that is likely worth billions. Facebook is
trading at 19x 2022 consensus estimates (ex-cash), the same multiple as the S&P. “
