  • Education Technology & Services Market

    Education Technology & Services Market

    Market Update Education Key Highlights The top subsector stock performer in Q4 2019 Technology was digital educational content & services, up 13.7% year-over-year & Services On average, EBITDA multiples for the subsectors decreased 0.5x from the prior quarter and were Q4 2019 down 0.8x on a year-over-year basis 2020 Forecast…Sustained Robust Deal Activity Focused on High Quality Assets and Strong Outcomes-Driven Business Models For several years now, we have been predicting continued consolidation within the education technology and services market. Merger and acquisition activity of all types within the sector has been robust, with overall transaction volumes repeatedly surpassing year-over-year levels by healthy margins. Even with ongoing strategic consolidation in the space, ever-increasing private equity interest in the education sector has been the primary driver of continued strong transaction levels and increasing valuations. A record amount of available capital, or “dry powder,” and elevated interest in software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) business models were the primary underlying factors driving private equity interest levels in ed tech businesses. Interest in high quality education providers has also been robust, underpinned by strong outcome-driven theses behind businesses built to solve the “achievement gap” and/or “skills gap” problem with a keen focus on value proposition to the consumer. In the early childhood segment, activity levels remain high, driven by continued professionalization and consolidation within an otherwise highly fragmented global market. And in the proprietary postsecondary sector, after a “decade of pain,” M&A has made a comeback with several new investments by private equity investors seeking premium operators in markets with strong supply/ demand imbalances.

    A Microsoft Office for Software Development with a Growing Moat, Large TAM and High-Quality Management

    Company: Atlassian (NasdaqGS: TEAM) Rainbow Chik Recommendation: Long [email protected] Price Target: $422 (79% upside/ 21% 3-yr IRR) A Microsoft Office for software development with a growing moat, large TAM and high-quality management KEY STATISTICS TRADING CHART EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Atlassian is a high-quality SaaS market leader that offers mission critical workplace collaboration and Application Development software. It is analogous to Microsoft Office for software development and is the oil that powers software development from planning, coding, deployment, support and collaboration. I believe TEAM is undervalued as the market (1) underappreciates TEAM’s moat expansion as a result of cloud migration, (2) underestimates TEAM’s strong network effect expanding in the large knowledge worker TAM, (3) overlooks management quality being long-term owner- operator and prudent capital allocator. The recently announced migration from perpetual licenses to cloud subscription presents a unique window to invest. Investors are concerned about the short-term revenue headwind and churn risk as a result of cloud migration, but my research suggests that it masked the better business potential given it leads to higher pricing power in a win-win situation and much stickier customers in the long-term. My base case valuation suggests a 79% upside from its current valuation at $236 ($423 target price). This is based upon sustained strong customer growth and subscription revenue per customer growth during and post-cloud-migration from my research. In addition, my bull/ bear case analysis suggests an attractive 3.5x upside/ downside ratio. COMPANY OVERVIEW Atlassian = Microsoft Office for software development Founded in 2002, Atlassian is an Australian SaaS market leader.

    The Direct Listing As a Competitor of the Traditional Ipo

    The Direct Listing As a Competitor of the Traditional Ipo Research Paper – Law & Economics Course (IUS/05) Degree: Economics & Business, Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Academic Year: 2019-2020 Name: Ludovico Morera Student Number: 216721 Supervisor: Prof. Pierluigi Matera The Direct Listing as a Competitor of the Traditional Ipo 2 Abstract In 2018, Spotify SA broke into the NYSE through an unusual direct listing, allowing it to become a publicly traded company without the high underwriting costs of a traditional Initial Public Offering that often deter companies from requesting to list. In order for such procedure to be possible, Spotify had to work closely with NYSE and SEC staff, which allowed for some amendments to their implementations of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act. In this way, Spotify’s listing was done within the limits imposed by the U.S. market authorities. Several rumours concerning the direct listing arose, speculating that it may disrupt the American going public market and get past the standard firm-commitment underwriting procedures. This paper argues that these beliefs are largely wrong given the current regulatory limitations and tries to clarify for what firms direct listing is actually suitable. Furthermore, unlike the United Kingdom whose public exchanges have some experience, the NYSE faced such event for the first time; it follows that liability provisions under § 11 of the securities Act of 1933 may be attributed in different ways, especially due to the absence of an underwriter that may be held liable in case of material misstatements and omissions upon the registered documents. I find out that the direct listing can substitute the traditional IPO partially and only a restricted group of firms with some specific features could successfully do without an underwriter.
