Expressing satisfaction at the performance of the company, Mr. Arvind Kajaria, Managing Director, said, "Overall, the financial year has been quite productive. The year witnessed the launch of three exciting new features – 123Greetings Connect, 123Greetings Studio and 123Greetings Invites. All the introductions received excellent user response. The year saw an addition of 5,650 cards being added to the greetings website and introduction of innovative features like the instant ‘Thank You’ and ‘Quick Send’. We have also launched 6 new pages displaying the top ecards of Most Popular, Most Viewed, Highest Rated, Latest Additions section, and introduced ‘More’ feature in the home page making accessibility easy for the users. While the new launches and other investments have laid the foundation for future growth and profitability, they have not allowed profits to grow as significantly as income in the current quarter and financial year. But with 123Greetings Connect attracting 1,144,196 subscribers and 8,940 usersregistering at 123Greetings Studio to put their artworks, we believe it is only a matter of time that the growth is monetized and converted into profits and consequently shareholder value ."

Friends,
In the above annoucement it is written that 123greetings has been the top gainer in ecard category.When the ecard category is witnessing 10% growth 123greeting is able to show a growth of 29%.
These are all Internet user numbers and more the users and clicking andf registering more ads revenue.The whole model is based on how many clicks on the site and thereby how many are able to have a look at the Ads shown on the website and if 123greetings is showing No 1 growth then I think this stock needs a second look.
It was delisted and people has burnt the fingure but it got again listed in early April 2010 and on the very day it got listed , it made a high of 167.Now quoting at Rs 62, I feel this is a stock which needs to be looked upon.
Brand name....Yup....that is what I am seeing here.

Now we know the site 123greetings belongs to which Co .Oh , well it is an Indian Co?That is great.
The things what I like is management is constantly putting efforts to scale up the growth.
59% is held by the promoters and 26% is held by the private Corp bodies and HNI's means 86% is held closly and only 14% is with the public.

With everyone on Facebook, you see people being wished by their friends leaving comments on their profile. I don't see a lot of people wasting time with e-greeting cards any more. They belong to the 20th century.
ReplyDeleteSonia,
