The Companies Worth Less Than Facebook
I was curious about which companies are worth less than Facebook’s purported $50 billion valuation – so I decided to look it up. Here are some of the blue chip names (and market caps) you can get at a lower valuation than Facebook without paying Goldman Sachs’ exorbitant transaction fees:
- EMC – $47.2B
- Bristol-Myers Squibb – $45.1B
- France Telecom – $42.5B
- Target – $42.5B
- BMW – $42.4B
- Grainger – $42.3B
- Nike – $41.6B
- Morgan Stanley – $41.4B
- Dow Chemical – $39.9B
- UnitedHealth Group – $39.4B
- News Corp – $39.2B
- Colgate-Palmolive – $39.1B
- Eli Lillly – $38.9B
- Nokia – $38.0B
- AIG – $37.3B
- Halliburton -$36.7B
- VMWare – $36.6B
- BlackRock – $36.3B
- Walgreen – $36.1B

Well I do believe that there definitely is value in Facebook over time BUT there is just no way I would buy FB stock at today’s valuation over a company like VMWare.
you missed out an important one.
Urfix.com $35.1B
But none of these companies have the growth rates or growth potential of FB.
I might be wrong, but im pretty sure that EMC2 owns VMWare. So its value would be much larger then $50 billion.
This is great info and perspective!
Here is my very rough Facebook valuation I wrote last week:

But after seeing the stats above, I really think it’s way overvalued!
WTH is Nokia doing there? Who would buy those guys, they have lost the crown, and are on there way down. They were at the top, and let someone else redefine the industry. Even now, in the face of huge competition, they are unwilling to change, and keep on the same path.
FB, as bad as it is, has 500m users, and huge amounts of data and access to all these people. It is becoming almost as important as Google.
