Valuation Methodology: EV/Sales Multiple Based Relative Valuation (Illustrative)

Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group

*% Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company’s NTM trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock’s historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks.

Stock Recommendation

The stock of M7T gave a negative return of ~31.405% in the past year. The stock is currently trading lower than the 52-weeks’ average price level band of $0.810 - $1.590. The stock has been valued using the EV/Sales multiple-based illustrative relative valuation method and arrived at a target price low double-digit (in percentage terms). Considering business uncertainties and litigation cases, the company might trade at a slight discount to its peers’ average. For valuation, few peers like CogState Ltd (ASX: CGS), ImExHS Ltd (ASX: IME), Alcidion Group Ltd (ASX: ALC) have been considered. Considering the current trading levels, increased contract wins, favourable sale orders, key associated risks with the business, and upside indicated by valuation, we give a “Speculative Buy” recommendation on the stock at the market price of $0.825, as of 21 December 2021, 12:00 PM (GMT+10), Sydney, Eastern Australia.
