Whats app got sold for a cool $19Billion to Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB).
But why should Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) stock jump?
There are some 450Million users of Whats App. So their CLTV (Customer lifetime value) works approximately $55/user.
Apple has SOLD at least 500Million+ iPhones. All of them comes installed with iMessage. And most users use this app anyway. And these are your users who pay $600-$700 per handset!!
So, shouldn’t the value of Apple change & go up by another cool $20Billion? I have not seen any research report which puts $20Billion value for iMessage.
Blackberry BBM = Please don’t Cry 🙁
