A new one just come up today. Last year they did pre-IPO roadshow to raise $100m with market cap of $200m+..
That didn't go down well with the fundies. So they restructured the deal. Market cap $158m raising $25m.
The P/E is pretty good but that's for CY not FY. They make a lot of revenue towards the end of the year it seems and this has been pretty consistent in the past few years.
The revenue growth is awesome and revenue is booked in USD.
With Pepperstone IPO on ice due to the 40% revenue loss from Japanese, this could be the next interesting one.
PS: they survived (and made profit) on the SNB tragedy which brought down a number of other big Forex brokers (FXCM, etc)
Thoughts?
Offer Price $1.00 per share
P/E for CY15 10x
Market Cap $158m
