Summary Points:
- 2 IPOs Planned: In October 2023, the company announced plans to spinoff two of its businesses in IPOs in 2024 (originally planned), its digital advertising ecosystem, Thoughtful Media Group Inc., and its online travel platform, NusaTrip Inc. Ascendiant believes that these IPOs will drive significant value to Society Pass’s shareholders and will be key catalysts for the company in 2025.
- Positive high risks versus high rewards: Overall, concerns outweighed by growth prospects and valuation. Society Pass’s main products still has long commercialization challenges ahead, but Ascendiant believes the ~billion dollars market potential presents high rewards for the risks.
- Company trading at cash value: The company’s market capitalization is only ~$7 million while it has ~$7 million in cash implying its shares and business are significantly undervalued.
- Valuation attractive: Ascendiant maintains BUY rating, and raises 12-month price target to $15 from $14, based on a NPV analysis, representing significant upside from the current share price. Ascendiant believes this valuation appropriately balances out the company’s high risks with its high growth prospects and large upside opportunities.
