I’ve been giving REDT another look.
As I said before the short term issue is trying to guess how much Linx will contribute to the FY results considering that the H1 results did not include any earnings from Linx.
If Linx performed exactly how Arc did we can expect revenue to be in the range of 6.9m – 7.7m, and profit before tax to be between 1.00m – 1.03m.
However we know that Linx was supposed to be earnings neutral in its first year yet it is exceeding expectations so I conservatively expect revenue will be 7.0 – 7.8m and profit before tax to be 1.01 – 1.04.
Considering that the EV is about 8.3 the EV/EBIT will be 8.0 – 8.4 which very hard to beat at the moment. Cash makes up about 20% of the market cap and currently the yield is almost 2.5%.
Then once you consider that revenue will rise by 30-44% and PBT by 15 -19% then a PER of sub 12 looks low also.
In summary - REDT is a share that is undervalued, pays a small dividend too, has clear revenue visibility and seems to be growing very nicely so that 2015 looks like it'll be an even better year.
Good for a long term hold I think.
Out of interest - Jolly what does the CF look like here?
