Q1 regulatory stimulus
EQS has produced strong Q117 figures, with revenues up 49% on the prior year, boosted by the consolidation of ARIVA, with organic growth at 13%. This performance is largely attributable to demand stimulated by regulatory changes, as built into our forecasts which are unchanged on these results. The mid-2016 introduction of the European Market Abuse Regulation greatly added to the compliance burden, while the impending PRIIP regulations for packaged products provide a fertile backdrop for ARIVA. Good share price performance (and underperformance by peers) has narrowed the discount to under 10%.EQS Group AG, formerly known as EquityStory AG, is a Germany-based provider of regulatory technology (RegTech) in the fields of corporate compliance and investor relations.
