Great meeting with
@kalhourd
CEO today. 7th Jul 2021
#GILD is making all the right steps, is expanding incredibly quickly, and winning more trophies than it has had any right to do in its first year of operations.
The Academy could quickly become a key competitive advantage.
It could create value for #GILD in so many ways. Monthly subscription revs could build quickly - only 17k subscribers would be £1m ARR.
It provides an incredible scouting outlet and feeder system for upcoming talent. Hopefully we’ll see the first academy contracts in the not too distant. Imagine in a few years’ time #GILD being able to field teams largely or even wholly comprised of Academy-generated talent.
My take on player transfers is that in 2-3 years, Esports transfer values could be 10x the size of what they are today. In 5-7 years, maybe 100x? Consider #GILD just sold a player - with only <6 months remaining on his contract - for $115k.
will start building a roster of second tier players, straight out of the Academy. Potentially very large value could be generated from selling on this talent to other franchises.
The Academy will also create intangible value for #GILD in getting parents onside (online safety, screen-time restrictions, etc). This holistic approach in turn will help get major sponsors on board.
Perhaps most importantly of all, The Academy will create a massive, loyal fan base for
#GILD. That’s what it’s all about OK hand
Valuation? <3 months until start of next FY, so think it’s fair to use 2021/22 numbers. Two brokers have £13m and £14m revs pencilled in, respectively.
Let’s assume £12m
Relative valuation analysis suggests #GILD could trade on anywhere between 6-20x revs.
10x would put GILD at £120m, or c.23p per share.
