Q: Hi Peter,

I found the info you provided to an investor question previously on Solium Capital (T.SUM) to be very interesting and led me to do more digging (an equally valuable part of this service!). Indeed Solium is carving out an ambitious and interesting niche for itself as the global 'go-to' organization for a wide swath of services regarding equity compensation (e.g. even extending past software to include brokerage, trust etc.)

Some factoids that I found of particular interest - 93% of revenues are recurring; management owns approx. 35% of outstanding shares (all acquired via cash purchases as there are no 'founder shares') and so very much aligned with shareholders.

SUM has finally attracted an analyst (Pardeep Sangha from PI) who has set a $4.50 target in his Jan 22 report. His basis for the price is that "Solium is currently valued on an EV/Sales ratio of 1.7x and an EV/EBITDA ratio of 7.1x FY13 estimates. Meanwhile, Solium’s peer group, is currently valued at an EV/Sales multiple of 3.4x and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.6x consensus FY13 estimates."

Question: is his EV methodology perhaps more useful than using a straight P/E analysis for assessing this type of high growth company.

Sign me,

A happily renewed 5i subscriber!

It was selling at $12.60 at the time the report was issued and they gave it their Top Pick rating.The 52 week high is about $25 and it had IPO'd at $11. I bought 1000 at $11.60 and it is now $9.21.
