Still no explanation - £17 or $1715 Nov 2021 20:58
I have now read the Finncap report from beginning to end and it being the only detailed and thorough financial analysis yet published since results, I am still at a complete loss to explain the total collapse in the share price since Thursdays earnings release. By every measurable metric against all its peers, Trade Desk, Pubmatic, Magnite, Viant Tremor was miles ahead in growth, profit, ebitda growth, operating margins, virtually every known parameter.
If one refers to page 18 of the Finncap report I will try to list the important parameters,
2018Dec. 2019 Dec. 2020 Dec. 2021 Dec Est. 2022 Dec Est
Revenue. 131.4. 164.0. 184.3. 298.5. 340.2
Ebitda Adj. a. 44.1. 60.4. 60.5. 149.2. 170.3
Pbt Adj. 42.6. 40.0. 30.8. 121.7. 139.5. (After interest)
Share based payments 8.0. 15.8. 14.5. 42.0. 50.3
Pbt. 27.2. 3.6. - 7.4. 56.4. 77.2
Eps fully diluted. 43.2. 30.8. 23.6. 71.1. 69.7
Ebitda margin. %. 33.6. 36.8. 32.8. 50.0. 50.1
The one metric that stands out like dogs balls is the share based compensation which has rocketed from 8 mil in 2018 to 42.0 mil for this year. And all without any profit or share price targets. Just handed out like confetti. And seemingly increasing as a percentage of Ebitda year after year. Can’t believe we didn’t notice this earlier.
BUT in all other metrics we easily beat or at worst meet all our peers. Nobody comes close to an Ebitda margin of 50% (55% for last quarter) and only Pubmatic can meet our yoy revenue growth of 54%.
So who can explain a drop since Wednesdays close of US$ 20.80 to today’s current price of US$ 17.08 as I write. Meantime TTD up another 5% today.
That’s why I question a possible typo error in Fincapp’s price target of £17 and maybe it should be US$ 17. The only buggers who made any money from Tremor this past 6 months are the directors, the robber barons of the market. Sod we shareholders, just as long as the gravy train keeps running.
Meantime answers on a postcard as to why the market prices Tremor as a future basket case …
