Is WhatsApp overvalued? Mark Zuckerberg made the decision of WhatsApp deal. In this planet he probably has the best visibility on revenue opportunities of mobile social networks. Facebook market cap is around 190 billion as of writing, and they have +1B monthly actives. WhatsApp had around 400M monthly actives when the deal was announced. If Facebook can implement ad model to WhatsApp as succesfully as it has implemented it to Facebook mobile app, it is totally possible that WhatsApp $19B deal was fairly valued. Maybe a bit overvalued as a defensive move, but not out of proportion.
