Considering they only put stock up to make money to afford the studio/etc, it isn't as big of a deal as with Niji

lol, not unexpected after the failure of holoearth

>>111834087
Well, that's grim.
Nothing lasts forever, I guess.
My oshi's doing well as an independent, but best of luck to the girls that stay. Hope they don't go full niji on them.

Buying back stock is actually a ploy to encourage investors to buy, because the buy pressure makes it a safe investment for the time being as the company isn't selling or issuing new stock and therefore the number will tend to go up, weakening bears.

In Korea this is exacerbated as shorting is actually illegal.

Buybacks are indeed bad and are always done to protect the stock value

Anycolor has done a sum total of $95,012,175.00 over the course of 3 years
This is the first time cover is doing buyback because they were affected by a lot of shit

>>111834087
You can't spell Cover without over

>>111834677
>In Korea this is exacerbated as shorting is actually illegal.
Shorting in general, or uncovered?
Because options in general have very valid business reasons to exist, and the fact that they are getting abused by some is just a side effect

The reason we make fun of anyvolor doing it is because riku pays himself 50% of the dividends they pay out. It's literally just a tool to funnel as much money into his pockets, and your niji homos and literal whores(lunlun, enna, etc.) all lose.

Yeah paying 30b yen out of their earnings each year to investors, half of which goes to riku while your broke shitter nijis get nothing KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

>>111837491

>>111837601
Better yet I love it when people assume that buyback means paying off debts. We really need to rangeban SEA at this point.

>>111837601
I love when nijibrowns accuse others of knowing nothing while inventing fantastical ways to cope with their broke shitter nijis falling further in debt during their employment under anycolor, while their investors and riku get millions from slave labor!

>>111837605
The worst part is all of the tourists on Xitter probably think he's right and Cover is actually in debt but no one would ever hide debt on a financial report because they'd be held liable for that.
I love sharing a board that's filled with retards that don't understand how financial reports work. Truly astounding takes that make me want to pull my hair out.

why are you people pretending that corporate debt is bad? every company takes loans if it benefits them financially. even nvidia takes out loans

>>111837650
>inventing fantastical ways to cope with their broke shitter nijis falling further in debt during their employment under anycolor, while their investors and riku get millions from slave labor!
idk that sounds like the usual holo cope. let me guess, niji is going to collapse tomorrow? how long have we've been hearing that?

Can cover go private again? Don't see the benefits of being public.

>>111837811
NTA but they haven't even bothered to announce NijiEN's anniversary.
Their last remaining foreign branch is definitely not doing too well.

>>111837862
if they want to drop that load of cash all at once i guess

>>111837811
Of course riku won't allow niji to collapse, it's the best pseudo pyramid scheme vtubing operation where he continues to deceive investors just enough to keep lining his pockets off of his debt-ridden organs' labor.

>>111837749
What debt? They aren't taking on loans or issuing bonds to buy back this stock.
The narrative is actually that Cover rugpulled anyone who bought the IPO, used the cash to expand capex, failed to deliver on their growth strategy, and is now orienting toward their core business focus again (cutting off the Stars and axing HoloEarth). A buyback is strictly rational if they believe they're undervalued.

>>111834228
That makes it worse, silly.

>>111837916
I mean NijiEN is pretty much history at this point. It's only places like /vt/ that seem to not have moved on while most people who are not invested in this weird tribalism have.

Anycolor's profit was up by 45% while Cover's profit was down by 45 because of their 750 employees(lol) and Holoearth but somehow Holo is winning.

>>111838374
too bad none of the organs see that money :/ but holoearth getting nixed along with homos is great news so yeah, Holowins

>>111838374
Cover is losing profit because they're using it for the talents, while Anycolor is being stingy trying to save money as much as possible, Cover is obviously the good guy here.

>>111838419
>they're using it for the talents
>3 billion on the metaverse that worse that crypto
>1.8 billion write off in un-sell merch
lol lmao

I'm trying to understand how Holofans still think all this news isn't that big of a deal or a nothing burger with a silver lining. Sure they are 'supposedly' freeing money up to use on the talents but
-Confirmation that HoloEarth was a failure that wasted 3.2 billion yen/20 million USD
-Additional losses for massive amounts of unsold merch
-Top management voluntarily taking 20% paycuts in recognition of their mistakes
-Cover planning to do its first stock buybacks later this year, the very same tactic that we lambast Kurosanji for rightfully.
It sounds like bad news on bad news on bad news on bad news. Sure there might be a better future at some point but I don't see how in this snapshot in time, this financial report can be seen as anything else besides a catastrophic failing.

>>111841602
Everyone with a brain saw that holoearth was a retarded waste of money, and everyone here kept callng it out every since it was even announced. It would have been better if it never happened, but finally cutting the life support on it is a good thing.

>>111841602
The supposed changes could genuinely bring another golden age and money will be fine once holodori launches

>>111834087
So, how much stock would need to be bought to go private again? I've always said that cover should go private again but they seemingly would never buy their stock back so I had given up.

>>111841602
Because the girls are still making money, the card game is still selling, and the concerts are still big. That's what people want from cover, not all that extra stuff.

>>111834087
It's LITERALLY
LIT.

fine whenever Hololive does it.

>unsold merch
maybe they'll make better merch or make it cheaper. it'll push them to change things up, which is good.
>top management take 2 month pay cuts
this is unimportant. the real key point is that they just cut salaries for directors. i don't really care either way.
>cover is planning stock buybacks
we hated the ipo. if they reduce public stock outside influence is reduced. companies buy back stock for multiple reasons.
it shows a company reacting to current conditions, which is both good and bad. it's bad that they are less healthy, but all vtubing companies have seen changes in the market. the challenges aren't just being faced by cover. the good part is they're making changes and trying to solve the problems.

>Cover nuking a harmful project is bad

Cover only went public for that studio, they got what they needed, and its been proven investors are faggots.

>>111842016
How many times do you need to be told this, but unironically? lol.

The 2024-2025 graduations really did a number on cover, huh? If only the management wasn't so dumb then maybe Kanata would still be here.

This would be a problem... if Cover cared more about shareholder value than about the talents.

>>111841602
>Additional losses for massive amounts of unsold merch
This part is kinda funny because its more than what nijisanji announced and everyone lost their minds.

>>111834228
>put up stock to raise capital
>then buy it back with the capital you raised
This is basically the definition of a bad thing. It means the fiscal announcements were so bad that Cover felt they needed to put their stock on life support.
>"But wait," you may ask, "if the stock was put up to raise capital, why waste capital propping it up after the fact?"
Because enough stock is on the market for Cover's governance to be accountable to shareholders (hence, board of directors) and those influential shareholders are unhappy with both Cover's fiscal situation and the status of their stock. Propping up the value of Cover stock is now Cover's only priority as a company, either to keep the value of those investments afloat or to provide a golden parachute as they jump ship.

This is bad. It was bad when Nijisanji did it but from the outset they were always a cynical shell company for a young oligarch to sell 'diversification' to the stock market under an amateur talent pyramid scheme. Cover began as a passion project, and it had been run as a passion project. Now it's run as yet another soulless tentacle of the finance Cthulhu.

>>111845362
>then buy it back with the capital you raised
that's not what is happening. they spent that money on the things they raised capital for. this makes everything else you wrote incorrect.
