shows you how debt risk can reflect negatively in stock value.
This kind of dreaming ($61) is the reason you rode the TSGI stock down from $50 all the way to $16.
It isn't just debt, those FLTR high earnings multiples(30+) are temporary and only exist because of hype and early stage exponential growth.
FLTR has traded at a premium compared to its LSE peers due to its growth rates and future potential(perhaps justified). That premium does not apply to TSGI, it may not even appropriately apply to the merged entity for very long that depends on their ability to capture synergies and grow organically despite increased taxation eroding margins.
Enjoy the ride up but as the price gets into the mid 30s and FLTR continues to reach new highs, I'd say the valuation and risks become high and using a stop loss becomes prudent.

The growth is not sustainable, as you can see, inc and eventually the stock will drop down to
