AT&T uses Rakuten software for huge network modernisation project

By Keith Dyer 18 March 2024

Elbaz said, “We keep talking about Open and Cloud RAN the excitement of the architecture – but real life is building the network. For a network of our size, nationwide across north America, that takes a lot of effort and planning. We were at the point in that process of site build and design that required us traversing several systems, many of them out there for several years. Rakuten Symphony said they could introduce agility and capabilities in that space, and we said let’s see what we can do – and to our great surprise we have made a lot of progress.”

Elbaz said that AT&T has achieved in 18 months progress that would normally take three to five years in a project of this sort  Rakuten Symphony’s Site Manager is now deployed as the deployment and construction tool in all AT&T’s markets, and there are now upwards of 7,000 users of the software within its own and contractor construction teams.

“There has been a lot of benefit already in the migration from the old systems to the new system. We’re adding all kinds of digitalisation of our sites, including through drone, and everything is fed up into systems giving access not only to our designers but also to third party vendors. Everybody has access to the same view.”

“We’re very excited about this and are thinking about where else we can extend that capability in other parts where we are doing engineering and build,” Elbaz added.

In a situation where there have been concerns about the large amount of corporate bonds due for redemption in FY2024 and FY2025, the Company issued USD-denominated senior notes in February 2024 to purchase foreign bonds maturing in 2024 while also announcing the offer to purchase yen denominated bonds scheduled to mature in or after 2024. Moreover, it issued USD 2 billion in USD denominated senior notes due 2029 on April 10, 2024, which, together with the bonds to be issued as detailed below, will be used for the redemption/repurchase of the senior notes maturing in or after 2024.

Das KGV ist doch super hoch- zwar im Minus aber macht ja nix - besser als Plus - oder mach ich da einen Gedankenfehler.  

Yahoo blocking this important information about Rakuten Mobile again and again: "Opensignal’s April 2024 Mobile Network Experience Report shows Rakuten Mobile as Japan’s leader in the Games Experience, 5G Upload Speed, 5G Download Speed, Upload Speed Experience and Voice App Experience categories."

I believe, the SEC should take a look at such criminal manipulations.  

in compare with the following competitors:

Rakuten has the biggest ownership on Cabify.  

Einschätzung zu Rakuten ab. Deine kopierten Links vornehmlich von Rakuten-Seiten bringen uns als Investor doch nicht wirklich weiter. Du bist ja sehr aktiv und kennst dich aus, also würde ich gerne deine Meinung bzw. Expertise lesen wollen. Ich bin in anderen Aktien investiert, wo aktive user wertvolle Meinungen und Einschätzungen abgeben. Beispiele : Katjuscha, Netfox, Scansoft etc.
Kannst du bitte adäquate qualitative Bewertungen einstellen. Das würde mir und anderen Usern sehr helfen.
Die Homepage von Rakuten können wir doch alle alleine lesen. Btw ich bin erst mal mit  kleinem Geld investiert und warte auf den großen Einstieg.

Valuable reference for e-commerce players worldwide

Thanks to steady growth in e-commerce penetration, industry advancement driven by the evolution of generative AI, and the contribution of cross-border e-commerce and local policies to the development of the market, the Japanese e-commerce market, which ranks among the world's top 5 in scale and is approximately ten times larger than Taiwan's, continues to exhibit stable growth.

The 'F.A.S.T.' (Fintech First, AI in E-Commerce, Safe & Secure Shopping, and Trading & Transformation) trend emerging from how major Japanese e-commerce players - including Amazon Japan, Rakuten, and LY Corporation - adapt to market changes and maintain their operational and growth objectives can serve as a valuable reference for e-commerce players worldwide when it comes to future strategic planning.

Erste Schätzungen: Rakuten legt Zahlen zum jüngsten Quartal vor

Rakuten wird voraussichtlich am 14.05.2024 die Bücher zum am 31.03.2024 abgelaufenen Jahresviertel öffnen.

In Sachen EPS geht 1 Analyst von einem Verlust von -0,127 USD je Aktie aus. Im vergangenen Jahr hatte Rakuten noch -0,381 USD je Aktie verloren.

Gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum soll Rakuten in dem im März abgelaufenen Quartal Umsatzeinbußen von 3,62 Prozent erzielt haben. Den Umsatz sehen 8 Analysten durchschnittlich bei 3,37 Milliarden USD. Im Vorjahresviertel waren noch 3,49 Milliarden USD in den Büchern gestanden.
Insgesamt erwarten 14 Analysten für das aktuell laufende Fiskaljahr einen durchschnittlichen Verlust von -0,269 USD je Aktie, gegenüber -1,260 USD je Aktie im Vorjahr. Den Jahresumsatz setzen 14 Analysten durchschnittlich auf 14,94 Milliarden USD fest. Im Vorjahr waren noch 14,73 Milliarden USD in den Büchern gestanden.

https://www.finanzen.at/nachrichten/aktien/...-quartal-vor-1033297466

Der Umsatzrückgang in USD resultiert aus der Yen-Abwertung. Im zweiten oder dritten Quartal wird nach meiner Schätzung das EPS wieder positiv auch das gesamte EPS für 2024.

High ambitions

By Caroline Boey

Posted on 29 April, 2024 17:57

Munekatsu Ota, CEO of global travel commerce platform Rakuten Travel Exchange (RTX) and vacation rental model Rakuten Stay (RS), is propelling expansion of the Japanese brand, which means optimism, in South-east Asia and beyond.

What should our readers in the region, outside of Japan, know about RTX and RS?

RTX started as a B2B wholesales business in Singapore four years ago providing hotel, ryokan and vacation rental inventory to more than 1,000 OTA clients in 90 countries, primarily in China, South-east Asia, Australia and the US.

Within the Rakuten ecosystem, RTX serves as a global inventory platform for hotels and vacation rentals, playing a pivotal role in enhancing global transactions for Rakuten Travel (RT).

The primary focus of RTX is to boost inbound and outbound travel and global transactions, supporting RT’s operations in and outside Japan.

RS is a new type of real estate accommodation model featuring large spaces, designed by and owned by Rakuten. It is fully unmanned, using technology, and suitable for groups of between eight and 10 people. The idea was conceptualised during the pandemic lockdown.

There are around 600 RS accommodation and the aim is to grow to 10,000, mainly in Japan, but also in Hawaii, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and other parts of South-east Asia – we are preparing a private fund and inviting investors.

In addition, Rakuten Travel Experiences (RTE) is a concierge service providing sightseeing, exercise, activity and restaurant recommendation content and the next step is to create a seamless RS and RTE connection by next year.
