RE: Buyout ££11 Jun 2020 13:16
I disagree that it will go for peanuts as I feel that it is massively undervalued at this SP, below is a summary pulled together by a keen supporter of BBSN and I feel it summarises the current position very well:
Brave Bison (BBSN)
Online content company.
Owned and operated content.
Revenues directly linked to online viewing figures.
Client list for operated content includes the likes of Lego, P&G, PGA tour, European tour, World chase tag.
Market cap £8m
Cash £4m
No debt or other borrowings.
Revenue £16.8m
Small loss in 2019 (EBIDTA £0.4m) due to external factor of Facebook policy change costing them £7.3m in revenue. That’s now sorted; all the Facebook pages are remonetised, and the company is experiencing rapid online growth across all platforms. Positive cash inflow expected in 2020.
Impressive levels of growth, even before lockdown:
YouTube management revenues up 66%
Snapchat revenues up 484%
Facebook video view times up 283%
Now growth is taking off even faster because of the increased online activity during lockdown. Viewing numbers across all their owned and operated online content have jumped up by a further 20%, and followers of their online channels are up by a further 56%. These figures are growing all the time, and with revenues being directly linked to online activity, they are set to have a very significant impact for BBSN going forward.
BBSN are also expanding their online content into Instagram and TikTok, including a recent strategic acquisition of The Hook Group, which massively increases their footprint on these platforms. Another big jump up in BBSNs revenues will be due when Instagram and TikTok roll out their monetisation plans later this year.
Last week, their newly appointed chairman described BBSN as having “immense potential”, a view shared by many other investors. And it’s not just words. He has backed that up by buying 27% of the shares. Massive show of confidence in the company, and great to have the chairman aligning his interests with those of other shareholders. Several other institutional investors and high net worth individuals also have >5% holdings. As a group, they now hold 70% of the company, and many of them are still accumulating. Strong takeover target, but with large shareholders having previously bought at much higher levels than the current SP, any offer would have to be at a significant premium if it were to even be considered.
Prospects really look excellent for BBSN going forward. Massively undervalued market cap, strong financial position, rapid growth company. Very few companies offer low risk investment, yet still retain genuine high reward potential. BBSN is one of them.
