Lucky they have a relatively strong balance sheet and dont need to raise capital.
IKE setting a new 52week low today. Trading 3x FY23 revenue so in today’s environment it’s a bit expensive still. Could halve from here even.
All good thou, on the next bull run it can trade 5x revenue no sweat
The trouble is half year was 32% behind pcp so IKE are going to have to have a huge H2 just to be on par with FY23. And based on H1 commentary I do not sense they are confident in this.
So potentially it’s trading at an even loftier forward revenue multiple than their backwards.
Hence the potential for a re-rate down to 1.5x revenue. Only those saas companies that grown revenue double digits deserve 3x + multiples
Fair enough, they can't control their customers or their rollouts, so seems reasonable to temper confidence in their commentary. But that said, the rollouts will happen and the revenue will follow, be it this or next quarter or the one after that. Those deals/revenues are locked in, it's just the timing that's in question.
So as the market re-rates IKE down on uncertainty of when the revenue multiple expands, it's just another opportunity to get some while the short termers unload on the uncertainty of when it will happen. Anyway, TA suggests backing up the truck isn't a good idea right now, but when it does, imo it will re-rate upwards very quickly and one needs to be positioned for it.
