With the bought deal closing, Young believes the company has now “mitigated a key investor risk,” which was their balance sheet. Young also believes that direct sales and subscriptions will drive margin this quarter. He writes, “We believe that incremental margins on subscription revenue are high.”
Young adds that the M&A pipeline remains robust as the company continues to target small content creators. He writes, “This target market remain extremely fragmented given low barriers to entry, and EGLX has the necessary information and resources to acquire suitable targets. A proposed U.S listing in H1/2021 would provide the company with significant investor access and potentially resources to make bigger acquisitions in the future.”
