@OtterMarket hits nail on the head, pre-COVID this was a $9mm EBITDA biz w 20% EBIT margins and pretty decent historic FCF generation.
Makes sense - they own their own content and just take a piece of casino hold on tables where they're games are installed...
iGaming is kind of a hidden tailwind, post PGP acquistion its maybe 20% (?) of the rev pool but growing rapidly. They are plugged in w some REAL heavy-hitters like $EVO tho and in general its kind of a stealth play on iGaming adoption...
Obvi these iGaming revs are high high margin, high-calorie goodness (given basically just licensing-related) so ceteris paribus as this % grows its πfor earnings power of the biz...
Meanwhile since 2019 the only major change in the land-based biz is now they're in a bunch of (large) new mkts like Cali, etc, where before the redemption of Saucier's stake they couldnt get in. Ie, rev growth opportunity...
End of the day this is kinda a 'have your cake and eat it too' play. Land-based casino rebound = great for $GLXZ given the increased leverage to physical gaming (and in more places than in 2019). But increase in iGaming = incr in royalty revs (v high margin)...
The legal risk is kinda like jet fuel here too. People look at B/S and see ~$40mm of debt but its a promissory note to the founder. its not 'real' debt and - absent a total disaster - will be retained as essentially v favorable cost of financing.
So this is a tiny, dodgy, microcap SUPER levered (financially, operationally) to the reopening (casinos) w a backdoor kicker on secular growth in iGaming...
All for something like 8-10x EV/EBITDA on next yr's numbers....not >10x sales as most other iGaming plays...
I'm not sure what the endgame is here. I would guess taken out by a bigger player. Maybe an uplist to the 'DAQ once its a bit bigger and lawsuit is resolved.
Frankly either/or is easy to see 2x,3x upside imo.
But there's also considerable legal risk and a few other bogies...
Namely it is a v v v illiquid stock and disclosures are pretty poor (understatement). Moreover I don't love the auditor turnover (and small unknown auditor) either...so caveat emptor.
But its hard to find secular/recovery plays anywhere near these prices...so yeah. I own small.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

I took a deep dive into Cettire, $CTT.AX, after reading this interesting tweet from @SharogradskyM.
You all know I'm not a 'growth bro' but for the life of me I can't work out why $CTT.AX is so cheap. It seems mispriced, by a factor of 50-100%....here's why ππ
Cettire is an online platform for luxury goods. They connect w/ offline suppliers (dept stores, wholesalers, etc - NOT the brands directly) to sell products online. $CTT.AX holds no inventory; their ERP connects directly w their suppliers. They function just as the shopfront...
...whilst all product/inventory risk remains w the supplier.
The biz operates worldwide (in 53 countries), w/ 90% of revs being outside Aus (despite the Aussie listing)...here's the main page:
Seeing as peeps are asking what UK shitcos I own to monetize this trend, here's one I'll throw out there: $CARD.LN. It's been written up in the public domain - see this excellent blog post: dkvalue.blogspot.com/2021/02/card-fβ¦
basically the point is its at ~4.5x pre-COVID EPS...
...w/ a ton of leverage, I know. but 80% of weddings got cancelled in the UK last yr; 70% of card purchases are discretionary around events; and two of their biggest comp went bust during COVID and closed a bunch of their stores...
...so basically you have a hyper-levered play on eventing/gifting, trading at a v low multiple of (probably) too-low earnings over the next 1-2yrs. At 10-12x P/E and some earnings improvement the stock is near-triple. Even at 10x P/E and just pre-COVID erns its a near double...
The $DKNG analyst day slides were quite something. I have no idea how anyone can own the stock at a ~$32bn EV and expect anything other than a HORRID risk/reward the next 5+ years...the math is pretty simple. let's take a peak π
THREAD
They disclosed their LT EBITDA 'guidance' as $1.7bn - based upon a fairly rosy set of assumptions but basically 65% penetration of OSB, 30% pen of iGaming, then just rolling forward another 5yrs π€£. Ie this EBITDA number, even if actualized, is prob a 7-10yr aspiration:
So today we get to pay ~25x 7-10yr forward maybe adjusted EBITDA. Nice π€ͺπ€ͺ
It gets worse. How do they actually get to this number? Well they try to size the market at maturity, using UK, Aus, and the more mature NJ market...
Hereβs everything you need to know the $AER deal for GECAS sucked bigly in one thread.
1) This is NOT ILFC. When AER bot ILFC in 2013 they went up to 5x levto buy an asset at a lower multiple of book, at much lower absolute valuations on the fleet, w a much better order book...
...they also had an equity currncy trading well above book to pay for it. Basically diametrically opposed to todayβs deal (higher book multiple; worse order book; less leverage; own currency trading at a discount)
2) fleet mix: AER took a predominantly narrow body, newer, mostly new tech fleet and diluted it w widebodies, older lanes, and current tech (oh and helis and freighters!) Exactly the things Aengus railed against, for years.
OK normally I would write this up for my subs but since @IBKR won't let me trade Oslo Growth listed stocks, I present Rana Gruber, $RANA.OL, to my Twitter peeps
THREAD
$RANA.OL is a small iron-ore miner in Norway. It just listed a week ago at 49.5 NOK. Price now is 68 NOK. There are 37.4mm shs out = 2.5bn NOK mkt cap, and 190mm NOK bank debt at yr end (which will be near zero imminently).
So all in EV is say 2.7bn today...
Last yr they produced 5.1mt of ore, and generated 681mm of EBITDA at 51% margins. Ie its on ~3.8x EV/EBITDA LTM...but given where the iron ore curve is (or was), its on more like 2.4x EV/EBITDA this year:
