RE:RE:RE:RE:Q2 out
RE:RE:RE:RE:Q2 out Hard to say if they overpaid it or not. MDF paid US$207.3m or ~9.0x 2020 sales (6.3x 2021, or closer to 4.6x including C$15m of synergies).
Recent comparaisons would be Mercell’s acquisition of Cloudia at 11.1x 2020 and Fortive’s deal for ServiceChannel at 13x 2020/10x 2021E.
I think what market didn't like is MDF was around the same market cap as their acquisition, while MDF got 2.5x more sales. But if Periscope's growth can stand to 30% for the years to come, then the price for the acquisition was all right. Future will tell.
When you say "They wanted to put in much more", how do you know ? Did they say it in a CC or are you an insider yourself ?
