Robert-00 .. reposting from this morning, should help explain the valuation
Based off last reported numbers of acquired companies (approx):
Southwest Heating:
Turnover £1.08m
PBT £285k
Cosgrove and Drew:
Turnover £9m
PBT £862k loss
A&D:
Turnover £2.77m
PBT £410k
Based off these last numbers Earnz group turnover should be approx £12.85m, PBT £147k loss
That's based on Cosgrove and Drew making a loss, whereas the prior year they made a profit of £413k
If they were profitable again at this level, Earnz would be trading a 3 x PBT of £1.1m
Even if Cosgrove and Drew were only breaking even, PBT would be £685k, so trading at 5 x PBT
This isn't including the newly created SW Assessors business, which may be loss making initially, or maybe even profitable. Not known at this stage.
This looks why they were able to place at a 120% premium, and based on the Cosgrove and Drew break even or profitable numbers ( I believe they will be back in profit now part of a larger group), leaves the current c. £3m market cap woefully undervalued
