If you buy more stocks, it makes it harder for your company to pull out. And Anycolor is now in the position of

They literally can not ever liquidate the stocks. They HAVE to keep spending higher and higher exorbitant amounts of money, and in this case 90% of their profit, to keep the stocks from sinking.

Basically, they're propping up a paper boat with more paper.

>>78117051
Anon, reinvesting means spending the company's money on R&D/employees/facilities/etc. in order to improve the future profit-making ability of the business. Buybacks are not reinvestment, they are throwing money into a hole to the benefit of people who don't believe the business will make more money in the future (because otherwise they wouldn't sell).

>>78114078
here's their plan for the next 3 years; they have 16 billion JPY on hand and expect to make profits of 40 billion JPY over 3 years. Of that they plan to spend less than 10% on capital investments (studio, software, IP) and over 50% on shareholder returns (buybacks primarily, possibly also dividends) with the rest being held as cash and possibly used on M&A

Unironic monkeys in the thread genuinely believe that buying back stocks isn't an actual investment but sinking money into a random project that has no clear profit is

>>78124471
It's funny because they let Salome languish in mediocrity once her growth slowed from "satellite rocket being launched" to "fighter jet on departure climb". She broke Gura's record for fastest time from debut stream to one million subs, completely and utterly mogged her as if it was me in a used Honda Civic trying to win a one mile drag race against Max or Lewis in their work cars... and then they stopped pushing her. Left her on her own while trying to push the next wave, who were abandoned in favor of the next subsequent wave, and so on.

She could have gotten 2 million subs within 18 months if they supported her, and if they marketed her outside of Japan. But that support would have cost money.

I've been told the entire reason people think a stock's value is tied to company performance is because the company might buy the stocks from you, yet what I see here is a company buying its own stocks because otherwise its value would drop.

Stock value is ostensibly tied to company performance, but in reality is tied to the expectation that shareholders will somehow get money out of it, whether that's from dividends or buybacks. Naturally committing to burning almost all of your profit on buybacks will help maintain the value, because shareholders can see you're willing to set the company's future on fire to make them money.

Weren't anons here looking forward to the stock getting delisted and shit? Wouldn't this be a direct countermeasure against that, and therefore a safe move?

I don't even know why they went public. They were making profit, but now all that profit is being used to prop up stocks that are pointless until they're sold off. It'll be harder and harder for the stocks to reach a value where it's worth selling because the company keeps crippling its growth by spending its money on a dumb stock situation that it voluntarily created.

You have to "bow to investors" because you're legally beholden to them. Stock buybacks are equivalent to growing the company from the shareholders point of view.

Reinvesting in the stock =/= reinvesting in the company.
Reinvesting in the company would be using the profits in order to provide a better product or service, such as what Cover did with making that massively expensive studio that they can use for basically all of their 3D purposes and more.
Reinvesting in the stock is purely to line the pockets of the investors, and has no bearing on the quality of good or service provided.

>>78132421
And the rest?

The stock was tanking because of a lack of reinvestment in the company. The stock that is tanking because their quality is awful and their pipeline is bottlenecked by a lack of facilities and staff.
They have now blown 4 cover 3d studios and a tractor trailer of staff worth of money on two buybacks instead of course correcting a dying unsupportive hellhole of a company.

The stock was safely hovering 400-800 yen above even the risk of it so it's not necessary from that perspective.

>>78136552
His stock lost nearly half his value from last year and due to marketplace rules he can't even sell much without making a public notice which he hasn't. Furthermore it's not like he can just walk up and slap 44% of the shares in the company on the table and get the listed 2,800 yen price. Even if he tried to liquidate he'd singlehandedly collapse the stock price against the -500 yen/day limiter and cause a halt to trading.

The buy backs are from the open market. You can't be forced to sell your shares unless the board decides to sell the entire company at a premium. You guys are just desperate to hate nijisanji but this really does look like the right business decision.

Again, this isn't wasting money. Niji has a lot of problems but right now it's not clear that fixing these issues would be a more effective use of the profits than just buying back shares, which at least is the closest thing to a guarantee for shareholders.

>>78139167

Okay sister. Can't imagine why things aren't doing well.
How'd that 16 million on buybacks in february instead of another 3d studio to help the queue, lack of capable dual-language managers, technical staff, or even just a single proficient lawyer work out? Ah that's right, you dipped below 2,100 yen at the end of may. Totally not a scam, just 16 million in oshibux that didn't go to the talent in any form. She appreciates your loyal support by the way. Surely you can post your receipts so we can see just how much you got reamed out by stockchads!

>>78140502
The issue with what you're saying is that you present the unfalsifiable counter factual that the stock would have been worth more if they used the profits the way you want. The fact that the stocks dropped after buybacks means they could have dropped far lower without buybacks, we just don't know. Didn't cover's stock also drop despite presumably doing what you want?

No idea why he brought it up. I wonder if there was a vtubing company that held large high quality concerts that could be used as supporting evidence for investment decisions to contrast with Niji's mostly empty low quality disasters that have damaged the brand irreparably at this point with overpriced low quality slop time after time.

Crazy what happens when a company doesn't waste their money on a $48 million stock buyback after a failed $16 stock buyback brought them nothing.

Cover doesn't have to downsize because they IPO'd to fund their 3d studio. They've repeatedly not given a shit about the rat race. Niji's death throes have been the one damaging Cover through industry investment not caring that they are different companies.

This seems like a non sequitur.

You really think that's why Cover's stock price is down? Niji has double the profit margin, double the RoA, at equal revenue. It just seems like Cover is a worse company for investment purposes.

>>78148663
Holo doesn't have to downsize cause they don't give a fuck.
Niji just blew 84% of his quarterly profits on a scam. Keep being a retard, nigger.

>buybacks are actually reinvestments into the company and help the talents

Do nijisisters really believe this?

>>78149327
As we have been seeing every day since early last year, yes they are that retarded.

It's kind of insane because usually these companies are growth at all cost, their investors don't want a return they want to see that money reinvested. If Anycolor can't find a way to invest that capital feasibly and is just returning it to shareholders it's not going for the usual VC style hypergrowth path. And if it's not doing that, what in the world *is* the actual plan given they are reaching JP saturation and overseas is in trouble

Once again, buybacks are not a scam.

Your argument goes like this

It's complete nonsense.

>>78113965
Please understand, Riku is desperately looking for a way to cash out and fuck off to his next scam but he can't do it with the stock being in the toilet.

>>78149924
Cover doesn't care about cancerous faggots like you that don't care about the health of the company.
Buybacks. Are. A. Scam.

Cover used the IPO to fund their 3d studio to produce better content to grow the company. They already did it. They won. They're not in the market for the rat race while Riku wanted to pump Niji then dump it but it keeps having strokes including the last $16 million buyback scam in feb that vaporized instead of doing a damn thing to help the dying company. Cover's goal is somehow beyond your comprehension because you're too much of a fucktarded ape.

>>78114021
Yes, by using other people's money not your own

>>78150253
>Buybacks. Are. A. Scam.
How?
>Cover used the IPO to fund their 3d studio to produce better content to grow the company. They already did it. They won. They're not in the market for the rat race
Their fiduciary duty to shareholders doesn't just go away. Not caring about the stock price would only sort of make sense if profits were consistent and were entirely used to pay dividends. In fact, going public to generate funds for the company and then disregarding the shareholders would be an actual scam.
>Cover's goal is somehow beyond your comprehension because you're too much of a fucktarded ape.
Their goal as a publicly traded company is to maximize shareholder value.

>He doesn't even know why cover went public
I don't even know why tourists come here and be fucktards for hours.

>>78149924
I don't think anybody here will ever care about the feelings or benefits of unknown shareholders in any decision, and if said shareholders are other corporations they would even politely offer them to "eat a dick".

Some are though emotionally attached to the well being of the employees which are fore front of the business, or were emotionally attached to be honest it has soured fast the goodwill for those that remain and those that ceased relations with the corporation have gained more recognition for their talents.
The problem which is being argued against shares buyback is asserted on "having several problems on the en branch" and "no sign of improvement was made clear", couple this with the last year or so targeting the EN branch as future investment and this quarter doing a 180º being seen as a hypocrite narrative.

If you go shareholders first you will garner no sympathy from anybody arguing against the problems of EN branch, business wise this is the fourth branch to go in flames from my knowledge and this seems like a pattern that the buyback is cemented.

>>78151993
That's fine if you have scruples with the way Anycolor does business or treats talent, but my argument is against the idea that buying back shares is some kind of scam.

He still holds like 42%, 44%, or something. He can't do a large selloff without announcing it like bilibili had to and even if he tried to dump eet, he'd crash the value by doing so. Even now he's blowing $48 million on a buyback scam while the company is burning down instead of reinvesting in the talents, by their own admission have written off formerly 1/5th of the company (EN) as negligible for their future plans, and their last $16 million buyback scam got them literally nothing while said problems only metastasized into this full-blown disaster.

>>78136893
Ayo nigger wtf, show me the tickets sold. I gave you like 3 hours.

>>78152796
It is another anon saying that, I personally think they are doing the buyback out of fear of the next investor meeting instead of a great plan or something to fix anything, pulled the gun too fast and is wasting money in a knee jerk reaction, but i also don't know how often they can do or change the board meeting encounters to implement the buyback either so this might have been their only choice for this month.

About the claim that it is a scam, I can only in good faith think that he means it is tossing money into the void in the short term to keep the stock afloat, but because long term the company lacks prospects for overseas expansion investors would still pull out and crash the stock anyway. (I think investors are idiots anyway and will do irrational things on a whim)

>>78153847
You have a more reasonable take but we're still left with the question of what would you do with the money instead of a buyback? If we use Cover as an example to follow, their stocks are performing even worse.

At this point it seems like it's buybacks or swerve into selling coffee.

>>78155597
After all those controversies, you'd at least think things are improving behind the scenes, but they are still stubborn about holding this one turbo retarded policy, just to assert dominance and play mind games on their organs. So cartoonish.

>>78155843
The money didn't go to the talents. It's just went to stock vultures flipping the attempt to damage control the stock plummeting ahead of the july shareholder meeting

>>78154271
Done something by February after black stream, because the riku bow video was actually good unironically but the black one was such a stupid move done with actual plausibility for someone to attribute it to malice which brought into question whatever the fuck EN branch is doing at all.

For a more logical answer, done events by start of last year, done the 3D also a year ago, hired better management with cleaner rules by at least until luxiem blew up, at this point i have no idea why they are doing the things they are doing so late if not as a reaction without any plan whatsoever of any kind and no experience or capacity to make any logical response.

Also about the money i don't know, I lack the information and responsibilities which the board is working upon (i assumed riku didn't need to give any fucks about the stock price because he is main holder but now i'm not even sure), the buyback now only makes sense for me if it fulfills the assumption that "share prices being kept afloat is important for someone" and "this decision could only be made this week and at no point forward".

>>78156594
He cares because there's a shareholder meeting in july in which his face would have been raped if it was still 2,100 yen or below.
Main stock holder doesn't really help him. He can't just up and dump all his shares without announcing it and shrimply selling all those shares would annihilate the stock value so he has no exit without selling the company off. But no one would be retarded enough to read through the investor reports and even do a mere hour of research on why the company is fucked to pieces and still entertain the idea of buying it out.
Furthermore the board of directors voted for a $48 million dollar stock buyback (84% of Q4's profits) to enrich their totally unaware associates' stock portfolios while the company is burning to the ground.

>>78156974
They've bought themselves time now they need to find a sucker to sell it too or at least divide it up to save the profitable side of the business.
NijiEN will be absorbed at this rate and the lowest performing elements will be cut out / anyone who argues.
There will be a relaunch of world talents that will represent their new global aspirations. Expect 2 euro tubers, 2 esp tubers, the old EN guard with Scarle leading the female branch. The boys will get mixed up to be 5 men squads. Lots of people will be finally allowed to graduate, others let go, the others on the out suffocated till they drop dead and slandered Niji style.

>>78154271
>You have a more reasonable take but we're still left with the question of what would you do with the money instead of a buyback?
Investing in your talents is the most important thing for any company that relies on them. Covers model of paying their talents adequately then letting them reinvest those earnings into their own projects is great, look at Marine. If the talents grow, the company grows and giving them the resources to actually do the projects they want to do to grow their channels is hugely important

Conversely look at Salome, she was a phenomenon but couldn't capitalize on it because Any Color was paying her peanuts and not giving her any support to actually build on the massive amount of hype she had behind her.

>>78149924
>Once again, buybacks are not a scam.
Any investor who invests in a company in the growth phase that starts wasting massive amounts of capital on share buybacks should be worried. Those are for established companies that want to increase the ownership share of their main investors. A buyback is useless for a company like Any Color that still hasn't stabilized it's business model and revenue streams, it's pissing money into the wind.

>>78160839

>>78161149
On the topic of investing in the talents, if Anycolor were to finally do so, why send it to the EN talents now? Like genuinely why would you want to invest in them now?
Obviously they should've done so at the height of the branch's popularity, but right now it's just a pure money sink that is most likely on the margins depending on how much they put into it. They're a purely radioactive brand and would need to be cleansed of potentially half the golden 15 (including Hex, who's somehow one of the most SC'd talents there nowadays apparently.)
As for JP, they could've invested in their low-mid tier talents as well, but considering the results I think they knew if they didn't do anything they'd be dropped hard.
Which really brings into question, how is this company gonna survive in say, 2-3 years? Riku obviously is gonna try and book it when he finds the opportunity, you don't need a crystal ball for that. But unless JP gets some new blood that are massive hits, they're gonna hit a ceiling and going by the metrics they're already seeing single digit percentages in watch hours.

>>78163358
NijiENs problems are only half to do with the lack of support. It would help, sure, but the entire branch was horribly mismanaged by giving talents carte blanche to act as de facto managers themselves. They might be able to stem some of the bleeding by paying them a decent amount and letting them do some projects to build hype back up but I think the entire branch is effectively dead from the talents being unable to act professionally and treating it like they're still indies on Twitch. They needed that shit to be reigned in hard.

>Which really brings into question, how is this company gonna survive in say, 2-3 years?
I don't know if it can. It's already on a decline which makes the stock buy backs such a fucking horrible idea. They're blowing cash they NEED to reinvest to try and build momentum on shares that are on their way to being worthless in 2 years time.

>>78163358
He has too much stock to be able to reasonably sell his way out. The only thing he can do is sell the company. But no one who can afford it would buy a radioactive nightmare with no way to turn it around.
New jp blood wont even fix it. They're already reporting that as a whole jp numbers are declining and condensing in a smaller pool of the talents.

>>78161149
What you say sounds good in paper but Cover's stock price doesn't reflect this actually working.
>>78161340
I agree that buybacks are a cause for concern. It shows that the company doesn't have a growth plan. But that doesn't make it a scam, sometimes that's just the best way to maximize shareholder value for the time being.

>>78131066
What? Dude, we're talking about investments and shit here. I'm saying they're putting themselves in a more secure position because this way they hope to not fuck everything up for the investors. This has nothing to do with helping NijiEn, how the fuck do you even arrive at that conclusion?

>>78163358
even if they get new blood that ends up a massive hit they still need to support that person which they suck at. just look at Salome

>>78163628
Thing is, they have a decent stash of assets to spend with. Granted, some of this probably isn't liquid assets and I'm not sure if this is taking into the account what they had BEFORE the stock buyback.
Assuming this graph is after they did the stock buyback? That means potentially a quarter of their assets will be sent to the meat grinder to pump that stock price (a THIRD if it's before). Obviously not all assets are liquid and you need to have some for cushioning potential additional costs. But surely there's enough to put towards to elevating your lower/mid tier talents no?

It's before. And to put it in perspective, their net profit for Q4 was 8.7b yen. They are spending 7.5b yen on the buyback.
Once more for good measure. They are spending 7.5b yen on the buyback.

They did not spend this amount on 3d studios despite the backlogged queue causing issues. Cover's was 2.7b for scale.
They did not spend this amount on managers so that permissions and projects are completed in a timely fashion.
They did not spend this amount on animators, artists, riggers, development teams, technical staff, musicians, composers, merch designers, or anything else

EN was formerly 1/5th of the company. Now after 5 straight quarters of decline in the Q&A asking how they will rebuild EN they said they are going to focus on JP instead and EN does not factor into their strategic plans.
Their repeated low quality concerts have flopped while concert and sponsorship cancellations keep piling up.
Even JP is contracting into a small pool of talents by their own admission.

They have just spent 7.5b yen not fixing any problem. 7.5b yen of your oshi's money is going to Nikkei Tanaka to use as a cum rag.
Not only was the IR awful, look at it again after taking that 7.5b yen out of it. Read how they have no plan to fix things and are barreling towards disaster. It's apocalyptic.

>>78165297
Check your history? Closed tab/window?

>>78164842
They do, they just don't want to. It's a terrible attitude for a company so reliant on it's front line talent. Niji clearly has an attitude where they think vtubers are fungible, they just grab a person give them an avatar and expect that they'll do as well as anyone else would in their position. But that's not true, you need people with ambition and creative talent. Someone like Marine would be a nobody in Nijisanji, in Hololive she has the resources available to push hard to succeed and that helps the entire company grow. And even if Niji gets people who have ambition and want to succeed and make it big they'll just grind those people down and make them lose their spark as they find out how restricted they are from Any Color just hoarding all the cash like a dragon and not wanting to spend any of it on actually helping them.

You can't treat vtubers like walmart greeters if you're a vtuber company. You need to invest in them and help them use their talents.

>>78165320

>Unless they are lying on paper, on no ground investors can sue them. Responsibility of stock always on the stock holders
No, the board of directors and the executive employees have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders and shareholders can absolutely sue the company if they have been willingly not fulfilling that duty.

retarded naive anonchama, nji promised to expand overseas, failed and now going back to domestic market while not counting on EN revenue. By your logic, investors should be able to sue them for their failure right? its clear you never have a seat in any business meeting.

stock buybacks are versatile and can be used in many ways, or serve many purposes. but in this case, he's just using company money to lower outstanding share (and increase value per share) so that he can sell his personal stock at a bit higher price. hell, the company might even be buying his personal sell orders. the point anyways, is that this is a sneaky sort of way to increase his personal payout which traditionally would come from exec comp. for obvious reasons it would look bad to just arbitrarily raise his exec comp so this is the best way of cashing out quick at the expense of company cash.

>>78153552
yeah he's not going back here

>>78171441
>By your logic, investors should be able to sue them for their failure right?
Only if they have reason to believe the expansion into the EN market wasn't a good faith attempt to grow the company.

>>78171660
They can't buy his sell orders since he'd have to announce them

>>78171660
Read the thread, faggot. >>78127110

>>78171112
>If it's not working for them why do you believe it will work for Anycolor?
What? Covers growth is insane, they're smashing Nijni in revenue per vtuber. In what world is it not working? Are you thinking that just because Niji has a bigger net profit at the moment they're doing better? Cover is reinvesting their earnings and it's paying off, they're growing rapidly even as Niji's growth is stalling because they're not managing their capital wisely.

I don't know if this works in Japan, but in many western countries giga rich CEOs hold large amounts of stock rather than taking high salaries to avoid taxes (captial gains taxes are much lower than income taxes).
They pay for things by borrowing money from banks against their net worth, which includes the paper value of all the stocks they hold. Of course, the higher your net worth the more banks will let you borrow. They make repayments on these loans by occasionally selling off small enough amounts of the stock at a time that it doesn't impact the price.
So, if Riku was trying to do this, obviously pumping the stock would be in his, and probably the boards, best interest, even at the expense of the company. He'll never be able to sell all or even most of his shares, so if he wants more yachts he needs big loans. It also seems that most anycolor investors are only in it for a quick buck rather than long term growth, so the only ones getting hurt by this are the organs and shorters.
Granted, like I said, I don't know for certain if you can do this in Japan, but rich people break the system with stocks somehow wherever they are.

>>78171724
At this point, you just a bootlicker nijinigger or underage naive shitter. Pumping stock implies the company doesn't have plan for growth anymore. It's just a playground for short stock seller and investors who want to get out, dumbass.

>>78172095
>Pumping stock implies the company doesn't have plan for growth anymore.
I agree and said as much already.
>It's just a playground for short stock seller and investors who want to get out, dumbass
This is where you're wrong. Even if the company never grew again it would still pay dividends after it was done with buybacks.

>>78160960
Nijisisters are delusional bunch, JP growth literally slowed to a crawl.
For a comparison, their profit in 2022 was up by 16%, 2023 was up by 26%.
This year? It's 27%.
They know JP is saturated to hell and their only lifeline is fucking gone, no thanks to the clique's action.

>>78172466
And if the company can't pay dividends, shareholders will sue them by your logic.

>their profit in 2022 was up by 16%, 2023 was up by 26%.

That is steady growth, not slowing to a crawl.
>>78172980
>And if the company can't pay dividends, shareholders will sue them by your logic.
My logic is that the board and executives have a fiduciary duty to shareholders and that they can be sued for breeching that duty. I am correct in that logic. If for some reason, in this example, Anycolor's profits dry up and can no longer pay dividends then whether it not the shareholders have a case depends on why the profits dried up.

>The only way of keeping the stocks afloat is doing buybacks

>>78173275
The buyback is for 48 million dollars. You could try to buy up shares now but the more people that have that idea, the higher the price will rise and the fewer shares the buyback will actually get, which will reduce how much equity each share gains.

>>78174671

3d studios so their production isn't bottlenecked
Creative staff for furthering brand recognition and revenue streams.
Dual-language managers for getting perms in a timely fashion and coordinating western sponsorships.
Enough technical staff as it takes so they stop being an embarrassment.
A single capable lawyer.

While the 2% is horseshit, taking on the cost of design, production, storage, fulfillment, and unsold stock isn't negligible. I still think pre-order windows are the way to go for volatile small scale stuff like vtuber merch but what the fuck do I know.

>>78174308
On which part do you read if company don't pay dividend or stock buyback, the company will be brought to court and prosecuted by law?

>>78174308
Japan does not have a directly equivalent concept to "fiduciary duty". Instead they have a "duty of loyalty and care to ensure the ongoing health of the business", which doesn't include any obligation to create returns for shareholders if they believe the money is better used elsewhere (e.g. paying employees more so they're more loyal and motivated).

>>78173225
Anycolor has never paid dividends and probably never will. Many if not most companies in USA don't pay dividends either, nor do they do stock buybacks for that matter. The duty for leadership is to make decisions that benefit the company, not to pay shareholders their profit. They'll get sued when they actually sabotage the company, like when Elon Musk bailed out Solar City using Tesla.

>>78174786
In which of my posts do you think I said that?
>>78175042
That's pretty much the same in the US where it can be argued that paying employees more so they're more loyal and motivated is in fact what's best for shareholders. It's usually a pretty high bar for shareholders to prove that directors or officers were not acting in good faith.

desu if i had a choice between both stocks, I'd choose anycolor for the dividends. I don't have confidence in cover stock going up THAT much. but Anycolor's top hitters will stick around for a while. at least the next 5 years, I'd pick Anycolor over Cover if it kept up the dividends.

>>78175364
That really depends on the period over which you're aiming to make the number go up. Cover have been growing faster and made about the same revenue in FY24, but make considerably less profit because they're spending it all on things like a huge new studio, social platforms, and 3D concert software, all of which would be expected to make more money in the future.
This is talking purely in shareholder terms of course, if you're actually a fan (who this board is for) then your interests are basically at odds with shareholders anyway, because their goal is to take as much of your money as possible while putting in as little effort as possible.

This, if I'm just a literal who investor who has no idea about vtubers, among the two stocks, anyc has more appeal to me

>Unless they do something illegal, shitty business decisions, incompetence and failure on business won't bring company in front of court just because of the profit
Yes I agree entirely and never said otherwise. You just keep ignoring what I actually said here
>>78171724
I'll repeat it again, failure itself is not grounds for the shareholders suing, but if it's not a good faith failure then it is. When I say
>depends on why the profits dried up
It's in that comment chain and it means it depends on if the actions of the officers or directors that led to the loss of profits were done in a good faith attempt to make the company more valuable.

>It's not slowing, it's just not accelerating
Sister, this was mostly before NEGLIGIBLE happened and their momentum already slowing down while their immediate rival company still going strong.

>>78176018
'Good faith' is such a vague and broad term that they only use it after all facts and evidences are being brought to light. Promising expansion and failed it because of bad PR mandated by company is also not in good faith by the argument but we never seen investors suing them company, rather they just sell their own stocks.

>>78177219
That's not momentum slowing down, it's maintaining.

Stock buyback was illegal and considered stock manipulation until Ronny Raygun made it legal.

>>78171809
reread my post. it has nothing to do with insider trading.

>>78134723
Ok, and WHO is the largest shareholder? None other than Riku Tazumi.
So whose value is being enhanced?

>>78177870
alcohol was illegal and considered drugs in the 1920s. what is your point?

>>78123194
calling it now, by this time next year riku cashes out.
their main competitor has enough liquid cash, diverse income and business opportunities to shrink the gap at the same time niji is spending all its money trying to keep its name on top

>>78180199
Nahh Niji JP is still strong. It's just their global initiatives will need to be reassessed .

>>78163628
It just utterly baffles me that they won't reinvest a penny in the company. Riku stands to lose nearly everything from this. Who the hell does he have advising him?

>>78180260
niji basically dead outside of japan, if cover takes europe is unironically joever

>nuh euros dont have money
europeans value there money but if you can get them interested theyll spend more than the SEAslugs

>>78180506
i firmly believe they will make a new EN branch with EU girl. the problem i feel mostly that they haven't found them yet, not that yagoo don't want to. feel like ppl think make a "EU branch" will just be easy as grap 5 random person. hololive still the 2nd hardest agency to get in (vshojo is the hardest). after magni/vesper and sana disaster, i assume they will be more strict than ever

>>78180199
He literally can't. From the last public share count he is trickle selling but he physically can't sell large quantities without a public announcement. and doing so would crash the value in real time as he tried to sell out in volume defeating the purpose. And no one is retarded enough to look through the investor reports and niji's destroyed reputation and thinking it's worth buying such a diseased shambling corpse of a company.

The only thing that makes any sense is that Niji is in fact laundering money and for some unfathomable reason it came to a head and needed large volume for the 16 million buyback in feb then the 48 million buyback now. The buyback window to august and spending nearly an entire quarter's profits on the buyback over the shareholder meeting in july seems excessive when it doesn't fix any of the underlying issues.

>>78180260
It's not. They noted that even JP was contacting and concentrating the revenue in a smaller spread of talents. They're driving towards a cliff.
They outright said they aren't reassessing EN. When asked how they were going to revive EN they said they've written it off and are not considering EN for their strategic planning. EN's been ID'd and left to die. Which tracks since it's declined for 5 straight quarters and most of the branch bled roughly half their performance anyway.

>>78181111
They already have Maria and other "yuro" hour streamers. They have the tools they need they just don't give a singular fuck

>>78181591
who? and who? anyway, it's just 2. you can't make a gen with 2 girl.

>>78181729
I wouldn't remember cause I fucking hate yuro hours. /NijiEN/ could tell you. I only remember that Maria's in there cause she has sovl and starves just to fund projects.

goes to show what they really value over at anycolor

>>78164842
>But surely there's enough to put towards to elevating your lower/mid tier talents no?
Not only have they not done so, they have no experience to do it properly. Can't just copy Cover without the long-built support in place.

>>78113965
Long-term growth vs short-term.
Getting to the point where one can't keep up. Becoming obvious which will be around 5+ years from now.
