They are aiming to address the undervaluation of the business with a P/E similar to its peers.
At a sector P/E ratio of 7.8 this would value the company at £53m.
One of the primary reasons for listing on an alternative exchange is to raise money for expansion without causing significant dilution based on current market cap.
So we have a disparity in valuation of £33m based on today’s closing price. Much will depend on how much they are looking to raise by issuing new shares (including the convertibles), but let’s assume they will raise £10m at this point leading to an increase of 50% in shares in circulation.
53,000,000 / 666,671,311 = 7.95p
Now the industry works on a P/E of 10, and given the high growth rate CNEL is presenting, their is scope for considerable upside to the above price. If they raise less, causing less dilution then the same will apply. They are a leader in the sector as per the document Hong Kong listing application.
My target based on speculative but reasonable numbers is 8p. For what it’s worth, if they raise £4m plus convertibles then the price is 9.5p.
All above are approx numbers and speculative but what is clear is that this remains significantly undervalued, and with new money leading to further growth opportunities this is one hell of a company.
