RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Spectral on Linkedin Today Thanks for that MM. I'm hoping the final number will be higher than $5 CAD. The link you provided has -
"In Q4 2023 the median EV/Revenue Multiple for BioTech & Genomics companies was 5.7x, after hitting a 5x low in Q3." It took some doing, but I found another website that provides a much higher multiple:
"In 2023, the median EV to revenue multiple for biotechnology companies sat at 12.97x." https://exitwise.com/blog/biotech-valuation If I split the difference and say 9x
$2B X 9 = $18B USD
If 10% of market potential seems low I'll use 15% = $2.7B
Divided by 312m fully diluted shares outstanding (according to the latest MD&A)
= $8.65 USD
or about
$12.11 CAD ( If I use the12.97 multiple I end up with
$17.46 CAD )
I"m new at this and have probably come up with an unrealistically high number. If so please point out where I have gone off track.

Here's a relevant site :
https://finerva.com/report/biotech-genomics-2024-valuation-multiples/
"BioTech companies are regularly acquired at multi-billion valuations even before they make their first revenues."
They say 5.7X as a revenue multiple is the 2022 going rate - down from 10X in 2020 and 2021
What does Spectral say is the market potential ( for the USA only)? More than $2B ! Using the paltry 5.7X multiple it implies a gross valuation ( full USA only penetration ) of a mere $11.4B USD
Doing the math, you'll need to take into account a discount to account for a period of time for medical uptake, time value of money and of course, about 400 million shares o/s
Lets assume only 10% of the potential is achieved = $1.14B
Divided by 400m shares
= $2.85 USD
or about $4 CAD
10% seems low to me - for a new SoC , that excludes Canadian revenues and of course,worldwide sales of EAA
So ya, your $5 calc seems fair ( conservative....but fair)
Gets even better if you use common EBITDA multiples.
