Justification

I'm going to up my valuation.

The previous one, posted Sep 2023, assumed $260m in FY28 revenue with a 12% net margin and a PE of 25.

I now think that they should be able to hit that top-line estimate in the next 3 years (assumes 20%pa growth -- which is what they have been doing to date) and given they are seemingly scaling well i'll indulge a 15% net margin.

With 261m shares on issue, and ~25m in various performance shares and options, i'll assume a fully diluted share count of 286m in FY27, which works out to an EPS of 13.6cps

Given the growth trajectory and opportunity, a FY27 PE estimate of 25 still seems reasonable, which gives us a target price of $3.40.

Discounting back by 10%pa gives a present valuation of $2.56

--> admittedly, a big jump from what I thought 10 months ago, but with the company executing well, delivering free cash flow and other promises I think a bit more optimism is justified.

Nice writeup @Valueinvestor0909

Agree that Catapult’s strong ACV growth and free cash flow generation are big positives, especially as they strengthen their balance sheet. The operating leverage they've shown is what I most like, and it feels like they’re finally hitting their stride.

Yes, I've really got to get around to this! No rush though, I'm really not going to overthink the valuation now the business is humming, and with a long way to run.

It's been great to see. Combined with SGI and BTC it's done wonders for my returns lately! Although, last time I boasted of a purple patch the market served up a big serving of humble pie..
