Dropbox: A $4 billion company?
OIn our post-Facebook IPO world, investors are understandably weary when it comes to valuations of tech companies that seem hyper-inflated. In this recent discussion that I came upon, the question was raised of whether Dropbox deserves the $250 million that it has thus far raised from investors. The company, valued at $4 billion, maintains a business model where 96% of customers use the service for free and those who pay are only charged around $10 a month.
Those who support the numbers say that the company should be valued on more than just past performance and financial health; growth potential, exit options, etc. are crucial factors in an evaluation of Dropbox. Plus, the numbers aren't that bad. Here's what one response had to say:
Let me do a quick back of the napkin calculation. They have 2 million paid users who pay $120 per year. That gives them $240 million revenue. Then there is a business version that cost upwards of $800 per year. Dropbox claims that they have 2 million businesses signed up. So, their total revenues could be anywhere above $400 million ($240m + 2m*$800) . That's awesome for a 4 year old company.
While the company certainly seems promising, I can't see it being worth $4 billion. An annual revenue of 240 million in 2011 is hard-pressed to equal even a billion dollar valuation, despite the growing potential of cloud computing. Similarly, as the market gets more saturated, it will be exceedingly difficult for Dropbox to keep its client base without gaining a drastic technological advantage over its competitors.
Of course, I'd love to know if you guys think the math adds up.

I imagine most people use
CFI imagine most people use Dropbox in the same way I do - syncing documents and PDFs. I've used less than 2% of my 3.0gb free allowance and cannot see any reason why I would upgrade. This ties in nicely with your statistic of 96% of users not paying a penny. Even if Dropbox expands to a BILLION users (and pricing / % people using it free remains the same) thats still only $400m in revenue.
Unless they can figure out a way to really monetize their users without forcing the user to pay (because there are a ton of other free equivalents out there, iCloud, Google Drive, SkyDrive just to name a few) then I can't see how they could ever justify a $4bn valuation. Having said that I have no idea what their margins are although I imagine they aren't fantastic.

I think it's overprice...but
REI think it's overprice...but then again I know some people who use it for work. One of them have like 2TB of data on there...that is a ton. If they can market well to businesses (not huge corporations, but smaller/start-up would benefit) I see their revenue going higher. That said, I think it would be more prescient to explore sale opportunities to Google or other large firms, simply because of name recognition. Google DropBox would probably destroy all the competition. I had never heard of GoogleDrive prior to today, but DropBox I used frequently in college.
Reality hits you hard, bro...
Google Drive basically makes
ERGoogle Drive basically makes dropbox obsolete - it's a functionally similar product, but results in less "friction" for the user (everyone already has a Google account).
If you really want a standalone platform, SpiderOak has better security. $4 billion is absurd for a company that does little more than cloud storage. As you highlighted, they are doing *maybe* 400m in sales - that is 10x P/S (tech bubble level valuations).
Not an internet banker and
PENot an internet banker and I'm not 100% familiar with the space, but if Dropbox is positioning themselves as enterprise software like Box.com (a stronger company, in my opinion with a better focus on security), then 7-8x forward sales is definitely possible.
Mid to upmarket on-demand (cloud) software companies are crushing it right now. See Workday, Servicenow, Eloqua, Demandware, etc. for examples. Workday is trading around 23x 2013 revenue.
Investors love subscription revenue models, in which companies can have significant visibility into forward revenue through their billings/backlog. High switching costs means sticky revenue and continued growth. Basically, when you know that 98% of your revenue from last quarter is already on the books for the next quarter, it's pretty easy to grow. When you have 80%+ gross margin, high revenue growth, and a subscription model, earnings will come through scale.
Dropbox is too consumer facing for my liking. These companies generally suck (LogMeIn is a good example of a SaaS company that has traded down because SMB and consumers are too fickle).
Not every company trades at 1x revenue, 4x EBITDA, or 15x earnings, especially not in tech.
When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

Isles Claim Brian Strait
According to the Islanders' official NHL page, defenseman Brian Strait has been claimed off waivers.
The Islanders are in need of some defensive depth with Lubomir Visnovsky's refusal to return to the states from the KHL. Visnovsky was suspended today, though that suspension hardly means much when he's across the world.
Strait has played in a total of 12 NHL games and was placed on waivers by the Penguins on Thursday following their intrasquad scrimmage on Wednesday.
Strait was principally an American Hockey Leaguer in the Penguins organization, which is oozing with young depth at the position, though that depth has yet to be tested. Defensemen Ben Lovejoy and Robert Bortuzzo figure to see some ice time as a "seventh defenseman" where this move looks like a solid message that the time to crack the lineup is now for youngster Simon Despres.
The NHL required finalized rosters by today.

Poetry or Bust
A boozy woolsorter with a huge personality, Nicholson's sole ambition was to join the literary great and good despite his humble origins at the woollen mill. His employer, Titus Salt, encouraged Nicholson's poetic endeavours resulting in a small volume of poems. He rushed to London with copies of the book in search of fame and fortune, and was arrested whilst drunkenly haranguing a bust of Shakespeare in a theatre foyer.
Originally staged at Salts Mill in 1993, Harrison resurrected this charismatic character, played by Barrie Rutter, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Salts Mill in September 2003.
