RE: Think about this...In 2014 KKR Invested £100m for a 20% stake in THG, 8 years on...2 Sep 2022 08:53
OK francfo lets keep it simple and please nicely correct me if I'm wrong
THG ipo company gets £800 mill cash
sbm sofina subscription and placing gives THG £800 cash at roughly 10x today's mcap around 14 months ago average timescale
Half of this money was spent on acquisitions a huge chunk has paid off debt the company had at ipo the rest has been spent on hundreds of millions in capex mainly fitting out warehouses with security automation etc
Now the company is worth less than all that investment even if thg overpaid it was way more overpaid by the ipo and placing 1.6 bill so surely that at least evens things out
Let me know
