PSA ERP Software: WingArc1st (4432 JT): A Pre-Listing Gander

This document generator, data analysis and visualisation software company pulled its IPO a year ago, citing deteriorating market conditions, partly triggered by the apparent waning interest of foreign investors in new listings, a Nikkei report cited the company as saying at the time. However, as of March 26, the list of Japanese enterprise software start-ups listing in Tokyo will be one company longer as WingArc1st’s (4432 JT) IPO – to either the First or Second Section of Japan’s stock market – is set to go ahead. This report discusses the software enterprise industry, provides earnings and valuations comparisons with recently listed peers, outlining the hurdles and opportunities ahead for WingArc1st.
