$ORGN Goldman Sachs initiates neutral $10 Price target, 38% upside

While I would always prefer a buy rating, I thought this report was overall a net positive

It focuses on the positives we all know while the risks are more about #SPAC volatility and construction

1/6
$ORGN Positives:
* Key entrant into bioplastics space
* Potential opportunity is strong w/ unique product offering
* Main modules for O1 4 months ahead of schedule
* $ORGN did not include a price premium in its base case, could be 20-30%

2/6
$ORGN Negatives:
* Sales and earnings are still years away
* $SPACs and renewables have experienced trading volatility
* $ORGN is running behind its original schedule, just like $PCT and other bioplastics companies

3/6
$ORGN - what would make GS more constructive

* Clarity toward successful commercial progress, including production at O1 on time

[So we are back to O1 being the major catalyst, no surprise here!]

4/6
$ORGN - GS valuation methodology

* 17x 2028 EBITDA in-line with the specialty chemical group - 25% discount rate = $10 Price Target

* Note GS cut the forecasted EBITDA by 50% and acknowledges that if $ORGN hits its plan it would imply a $29 Price target

5/6
$ORGN - in summary despite a neutral rating, fairly positive report with 38% upside. We need to wait for O1 to come online and that will be the make or break moment.

Dropping in a $29 price target, 300% upside, was a sneaky way for GS to say "I told you so" if it works out

6/6

$ORGN I am seeing misinformation on cash needs following elevated redemptions. A thread to hopefully clarify. Some of this is my opinion post calls with the company and comparing to $PCT. As always, open to pushback.

TLDR: I don't think they will need to raise equity

1/6
The #SPAC was too large for this deal (my opinion). As a result they did one of the smaller PIPEs, despite announcing the transaction during the hottest point in the PIPE cycle. Many large institutional funds were scaled back significantly

2/6
Planning for no redemptions, this forced $ORGN to show very conservative plant financing - otherwise there would be too much cash and the deal wouldn't make sense. Let's compare the plant financing assumptions to $PCT, the debt % is still lower in the revised case!
