We currently intend to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund our growth, acquire complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\n\n\n Source: SEC\n\nManagement's presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nRegarding outstanding legal proceedings, management did not disclose any legal claims against the firm as of the regulatory filing date.\nListed underwriters of the IPO are JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, and other investment banks.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of the firm's relevant capitalization and valuation metrics at IPO, excluding the effects of underwriter options:\n\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$3,862,956,720\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$3,656,695,720\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n21.09\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n19.96\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n377.37\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$0.00\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n9.04%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$24.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n$25,236,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n0.65%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n58.59%\n\n\n\n\nSource: SEC\nAs a reference, a potential public comparable would be NICE Ltd.; shown below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\n\n\n\nMetric\nNice Ltd.\nEngageSmart\nVariance\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n11.01\n21.09\n91.5%\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n10.67\n19.96\n87.1%\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n41.73\n377.37\n804.3%\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$3.05\n$0.00\n-100.0%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n5.3%\n58.59%\n1003.34%\n\n\n\n\n(S-1/A andSeeking Alpha)\nCommentary\nESMT is seeking public investment to pay down debt and for its general unspecified corporate growth plans.\nThe firm's financials show strong topline revenue growth and gross profit growth, operating profit and a swing to slight net profit along with growing cash flow from operations.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was a solid $25.2 million.\nSelling and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have dropped as revenue has increased and its Selling and Marketing efficiency rate dropped to 1.1x in the most recent six-month reporting period.\nThe company's Rule of 40 performance was excellent and its dollar-based net revenue retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, was 124%, a strong result.\nThe market opportunity for providing customer engagement software to businesses is large and expected to double in size by the end of 2026, so the company will be helped by strong industry growth dynamics.\nJPMorgan is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 20.4% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the company's outlook is the ability for larger firms to bundle some of their services into their existing offerings, resulting in downward pricing pressure and greater competition.\nAs for valuation, compared to partial competitor NICE, ESMT is growing revenue much faster and so its much higher revenue multiples would appear to be justified.\nAlso, the company is growing much faster than competitor Pegasystems, so seems to be taking market share from these and other companies in the customer engagement market.\nGiven the firm's strong growth and operating metrics versus its competitors, while the IPO isn't cheap, it is worth consideration.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ESMT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3356,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887669666,"gmtCreate":1632027657855,"gmtModify":1676530689656,"author":{"id":"3559179711286338","authorId":"3559179711286338","name":"ChoonHong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbc5018991317a9a48b9e34d5e665561","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559179711286338","authorIdStr":"3559179711286338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls help like.. thanks ","listText":"Pls help like.. thanks ","text":"Pls help like.. thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887669666","repostId":"1171558890","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171558890","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631921912,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171558890?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-18 07:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US IPO Week Ahead: Software, consumer products, and payment tech lead a diverse 14 IPO week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171558890","media":"renaissancecap...","summary":"Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billio","content":"<p>Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billion in the week ahead.

The spread between bullish and bearish sentiment nosedived to -17%, from positive 12% just a week earlier. That's the lowest read since October 2020, and the biggest one-week drop since August 2019.</p>\n<p>The good news is that quick downturns in investor pessimism are usually unfounded. Buying last October, ahead of the U.S. election, would have netted a cool 33% gain in the S&P 500 . Buying the blues of August 2019 would've left an investor up 17% a year later.</p>\n<p>In a note to clients, Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner takes on three of the biggest concerns that investors have -- and why he's bullish anyway.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4b9f4f3671025b5a422133198067a25\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The first is the idea of peak economic growth being reached. Lerner says the evidence favors the idea that the delta strain of coronavirus deferred rather than capped growth. \"We now expect roughly 6.2% U.S. economic growth for this year and a healthy 4.5% pace next year, which would still be about double the pre-pandemic trend,\" he says. The Citi U.S. Economic Surprise Index has fallen so much that it's now at an area where it tends to rise again.</p>\n<p>The next issue is the likely taper of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve. Lerner notes it's well-telegraphed, that in any event the Fed will still be buying bonds next year, and that the economy is in a much stronger position than it was during the 2013 taper.</p>\n<p>The third issue is the tax hikes, for corporations and investors, being considered by Congress. Lerner says the consensus is that the corporate tax rate will be raised to 25% from 21%, and capital-gains taxes will be increased to 25% from 20% for those making over $400,000.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbbc385843fc580c2c16183403ee34be\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"292\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Lerner says when the historical impact of tax policy on market returns and economic growth is examined, there isn't a consistent relationship. For example, in the high-tax 1950s, there were the best stock market returns of the past 70 years as well as a robust economic environment; in the low-tax 2000s, there was the bursting of the technology bubble as well as the global financial crisis.</p>\n<p>\"We are not suggesting that taxes don't matter. Instead, our works shows that taxes are only one of many factors that influence market returns. Moreover, the business cycle tends to overwhelm tax policy,\" he says, estimating a 5% drag on corporate earnings from tax proposals.</p>\n<p>What does look attractive, he says, is relative valuation.

The spread between bullish and bearish sentiment nosedived to -17%, from positive 12% just a week earlier. That's the lowest read since October 2020, and the biggest one-week drop since August 2019.\nThe good news is that quick downturns in investor pessimism are usually unfounded. Buying last October, ahead of the U.S. election, would have netted a cool 33% gain in the S&P 500 . Buying the blues of August 2019 would've left an investor up 17% a year later.\nIn a note to clients, Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner takes on three of the biggest concerns that investors have -- and why he's bullish anyway.\n\nThe first is the idea of peak economic growth being reached. Lerner says the evidence favors the idea that the delta strain of coronavirus deferred rather than capped growth. \"We now expect roughly 6.2% U.S. economic growth for this year and a healthy 4.5% pace next year, which would still be about double the pre-pandemic trend,\" he says. The Citi U.S. Economic Surprise Index has fallen so much that it's now at an area where it tends to rise again.\nThe next issue is the likely taper of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve. Lerner notes it's well-telegraphed, that in any event the Fed will still be buying bonds next year, and that the economy is in a much stronger position than it was during the 2013 taper.\nThe third issue is the tax hikes, for corporations and investors, being considered by Congress. Lerner says the consensus is that the corporate tax rate will be raised to 25% from 21%, and capital-gains taxes will be increased to 25% from 20% for those making over $400,000.\n\nLerner says when the historical impact of tax policy on market returns and economic growth is examined, there isn't a consistent relationship. For example, in the high-tax 1950s, there were the best stock market returns of the past 70 years as well as a robust economic environment; in the low-tax 2000s, there was the bursting of the technology bubble as well as the global financial crisis.\n\"We are not suggesting that taxes don't matter. Instead, our works shows that taxes are only one of many factors that influence market returns. Moreover, the business cycle tends to overwhelm tax policy,\" he says, estimating a 5% drag on corporate earnings from tax proposals.\nWhat does look attractive, he says, is relative valuation. The equity risk premium, a metric that compares the valuation of stocks to bonds, remains at a level that has historically corresponded with stocks outperforming bonds on a 12-month basis, he says.\nThe chart\n\nA study finds that narcissistic chief executives drive fewer, but larger, mergers and acquisitions. But how do you identify narcissism? By studying conference calls, and their use of personal pronouns. \"The higher this ratio of first person personal pronouns to all personal pronouns is, the more likely it is that a CEO will try to engage in dumb outsized acquisitions that will lead to lower shareholder value,\" says Joachim Klement, the Liberum Capital strategist who also maintains his own blog.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ISBC":0.9,"IVZ":0.9,".DJI":0.9,"STT":0.9,"PFE":0.9,"03333":0.9,"BLK":0.9,"EGRNF":0.9,"BNTX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3523,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885556335,"gmtCreate":1631805075927,"gmtModify":1676530641646,"author":{"id":"3559179711286338","authorId":"3559179711286338","name":"ChoonHong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbc5018991317a9a48b9e34d5e665561","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559179711286338","authorIdStr":"3559179711286338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi.

All three major U.S. stock indexes ended in negative territory in a reminder that September is a historically rough month for stocks.\nSo far this month the S&P 500 is down nearly 1.8% even as the benchmark index has gained over 18% since the beginning of the year.\n“There is a possibility that the market is simply ready to go through an overdue correction,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York. “From a seasonality perspective, September tends to be the window dressing period for fund managers.”\nThe advent of the highly contagious Delta COVID variant has driven an increase in bearish sentiment regarding the recovery from the global health crisis, and many now expect a substantial correction in stock markets by the end of the year.\n“We’re still in a corrective mode that people have been calling for months,” said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management in Chicago. “Economic data points have been missing estimates, and that has coincided with the rise in the Delta variant.”\nThe CPI report delivered a lower-than-consensus August reading, a deceleration that supports Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s assertion that spiking inflation is transitory and calms market fears that the central bank will begin tightening monetary policy sooner than expected.\nU.S. Treasury yields dropped on the data, which pressured financial stocks, and investor favor pivoted back to growth at the expense of value. [US/]\nThe long expected corporate tax hikes, to 26.5% from 21% if Democrats prevail, are coming nearer to fruition with U.S. President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget package inching closer to passage.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 292.06 points, or 0.84%, to 34,577.57; the S&P 500 lost 25.68 points, or 0.57%, at 4,443.05; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 67.82 points, or 0.45%, to 15,037.76.\nAll 11 major sectors in the S&P 500 ended the session red, with energy and financials suffering the largest percentage drops.\nApple Inc unveiled its iPhone 13 and added new features to its iPad and Apple Watch gadgets in its biggest product launch event of the year as the company faces increased scrutiny in the courts over its business practices. Its shares closed down 1.0% and were the heaviest drag on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.\nIntuit Inc gained 1.9% following the TurboTax maker’s announcement that it would acquire digital marketing company Mailchimp for $12 billion.\nCureVac slid 8.0% after the German biotechnology company canceled manufacturing deals for its experimental COVID-19 vaccine.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.25-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.40-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted two new 52-week highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 50 new highs and 107 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 10.07 billion shares, compared with the 9.38 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".IXIC":0.9,".DJI":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3959,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886781816,"gmtCreate":1631626394335,"gmtModify":1676530593117,"author":{"id":"3559179711286338","authorId":"3559179711286338","name":"ChoonHong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbc5018991317a9a48b9e34d5e665561","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559179711286338","authorIdStr":"3559179711286338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls help like.
