Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket
- und daher habe ich mir nach dem Einstieg bei Alibaba, die inzwischem mehr als 20% gut gemacht haben, auch einige Rakutens gekauft.
Look Out Amazon, Here Comes...Rakuten?
Japanese e-commerce firm Rakuten announced on Tuesday it is acquiring Ebates for $1 billion.
The acquisition, which Rakuten hinted at last week, is part of the Japanese company’s push to grow its base beyond its domestic market and hopefully, become a global player. Having made some $1.2 billion acquisitions to date along these lines, this is Rakuten’s most ambitious move to date.
However, investors are dubious that the company can absorb yet another foreign acquisition, much less one the size of Ebates, despite Rakuten’s strong cash position.
Then there is the ever-present Amazon, which dominates the e-commerce market in the U.S. Few believe it will falter in the face of Chinese giant Alibaba, much less a Rakuten-Ebates combo.
Rakuten Goes Forth
Not surprisingly, Rakuten says it is undaunted. For starters, it has assembled a very interesting mix of acquisitions. There is messaging app Viber, which it purchased for $900 million in February, the Canadian ebook offering Kobo, Spanish video service Wuaki.tv, Viki, a digital content platform and Buy.com.
Now it has picked up Ebates.

AST SpaceMobile has seen a vibrant month with a price increase of 16% despite releasing a mixed Q1 2025 earnings report and announcing a significant $500 million equity offering. The company achieved sales growth, yet experienced a widening net loss. This financial maneuver likely indicates a strategic effort to stabilize and bolster operations as the stock rose. The broader market context, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq witnessing continued gains, may have also supported this positive price movement. The backdrop of robust economic indicators, like improved trade talks, might have favorably influenced investor sentiment towards AST SpaceMobile.
