Further, those multiples are calculated from the enterprise values of listed peers which are trading at much lower levels than a year prior," Forward says. It expects to see a "mid-to-high twenties percentage point decline" in its Ventures portfolio valuation at the half-year. Shares hit the 12-month low on Monday.
