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 MYD gave a positive return of 8.40% in the past month and a negative return of 52.91% in the past six months. The stock is currently trading lower than the 52-weeks’ average price level band of $0.520 - $2.200. We have valued the stock using the Enterprise Value to Sales based illustrative relative valuation method and have arrived at a target price of low double-digit upside (in % terms). We believe that the company can trade at a slight premium than its peer median, considering its increase in gross sales and active customers in FY21. For this purpose, we have taken peers like Temple & Webster Group Limited (ASX: TPW), Adore Beauty Group Limited (ASX: ABY), Bikeexchange Limited (ASX: BEX) and others. Considering the current trading levels, increase in gross sales, active customers in FY21, and private label contribution in the first year of sales, increased platform usage, valuation, further investment in technology and associated risks of COVID-19 environment, we give a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the current market price of $0.645, down by 5.840% on 19 July 2021.

Revenue and Loss After Tax Trend from FY18-FY20; (Analysis by Kalkine Group) 

Key Risks:

  • Increasing COVID-19 Cases: The company faces the increasing risk of COVID-19 infection in Cambodia and nearby countries.
  • Exchange Rate Changes: The company is also exposed to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations due to operations in the Southeast Asian countries.

Outlook: The company plans to repay the outstanding loan by the close of CY21 under the new Mega Bank facility. The reduced debt levels will enable DNA to explore more alternatives in the gaming sector and a diversified revenue stream for business growth. In addition, DNA expects the vaccination drive in Southeast Asia in 2HFY21

Stock Recommendation: The stock of DNA gave a positive return of 38.70% in the past nine months and a positive return of 16.21% in the past year. The stock is currently trading lower than the 52-weeks’ average price level band of $0.029 - $0.092. On a TTM basis, the stock of DNA is trading at a price to book value multiple of 0.3x, lower than the industry (Consumer Cyclicals) median of 2.2x, thus seems undervalued. Considering the current trading levels, decrease in operating expenditure in Q3FY21, reduced debt levels, valuation on a TTM basis, plans to diversify revenue platform, and associated risks of increasing COVID-19 in the Southeast Asia, we give a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the current market price of $0.043 as on 19 July 2021.
