モーニングスター、PitchBookがTime to Exitを発表し、フェアバリューを26%上回る可能性
モーニングスターは、同社のPitchBook部門がベンチャー支援企業のエグジット時期を1年、3年、5年のスパンで推定する機械学習ツール「Time to Exit」を導入したことで、投資家の新たな注目を集めた。この発表は、株価が軟調な中で行われ、30日間で11.22%下落し、1年間の株主総利回りが43.21%低下した後の165.18米ドルとなっている。株価収益率ベースでは、モーニングスターは15.6倍で取引されており、米国資本市場業界平均の40.9倍や同業他社平均の21.2倍より割安だが、社内推定の適正PERである15.2倍をわずかに上回っている。しかし、割引キャッシュフローモデルでは、推定将来キャッシュフロー価値が133.43米ドルであるのに対し、現在の株価は165.18米ドルであり、株価が過大評価されていることを示唆している。
