Graham, you are entitled to your opinion, but if you were to consider the data over the last few years, in general there has been a strong shift towards more healthier ways of living, including lower sugar diets.
What Kelso highlight in their RNS, is that MyProtein alone, appears to be being valued at a substantial discount to similar companies when considering a revenue multiple of EV method.
"THG has announced this week the sales of its nutrition business, including MyProtein, as being c$800m for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Kelso identifies two listed pure play global health nutrition companies, being Celsius Inc ("Celsius") and Bellring Brands Inc ("Bellring"). Celsius, with sales of $654 million, trades on an EV/Sales of 10.8x and Bellring, with sales of $1.4 billion, on 3.9x."
So being overly prudent, if MyProtein was valued on a multiple of let's 3, that could suggest a 2.4 billion valuation.
THG currently trades on a market cap of circa 1.2 billion.
