Iress股價急升 拍住Blackstone洽談收購




澳洲金融軟件公司Iress股價大幅上升,正與Blackstone及Thoma Bravo洽談收購提案

周五,澳洲金融軟件公司Iress股價大幅飆升,原因是該公司透露早前曾收到美國投資巨頭Blackstone的收購邀約,現正與Blackstone及私募股權公司Thoma Bravo就新提案進行談判。

Iress股價一度急升15.6%,達到每股9.69澳元,但仍低於Blackstone之前提出的每股10.50澳元收購價。該股價觸及自去年一月底以來的最高水平,並錄得自2023年11月以來最大單日漲幅。

Iress表示,Blackstone最初的收購估值為19.4億澳元(約合12.7億美元),但後來撤回了該提案,具體細節未有披露。Blackstone方面未有回應評論,而Thoma Bravo亦未即時回覆。

此次收購邀約反映出全球私募股權機構對於澳洲上市軟件公司的興趣日益增長。早前,汽車軟件平台供應商Infomedia亦已同意被TPG旗下聚焦亞洲市場的私募基金以6.51億澳元收購。

Iress在聲明中指出:「公司目前正與Blackstone及Thoma Bravo進行初步接觸,以評估是否有可能提出董事會可推薦的收購方案。」但未透露最新報價。

這一消息之前,澳洲《金融評論報》曾報導Iress正與Blackstone洽談潛在收購,估值約19億澳元。

Iress過去亦曾吸引私募股權公司收購意向,2021年瑞典投資公司EQT曾提出約30億澳元的收購,但最終因EQT放棄而未能成事。

今年2月,Iress公布2024財年淨利潤達3010萬澳元,營收為6.046億澳元。該公司預計將於下周發布半年度業績報告。

IRE:這家常勝將軍是否面臨新挑戰?

2024年以來股市估值飆升,令不少投資者對繼續加碼股票感到猶疑。當然,投資市場永遠不乏機會,但現在要找到真正潛力股似乎比去年更困難。若不知下一步該投資甚麼,不妨參考今年表現最佳的投資組合。Investing.com的ProPicks AI推出了6個模型組合,專門挑選當前最值得買入的股票。例如,ProPicks AI今年已發掘9隻被忽視但股價漲幅超過25%的股票。這些新入選的股票未來幾年可能帶來豐厚回報。Iress會否成為其中之一?

評論與啟示:

Iress這次再次成為私募股權追逐的目標,顯示其在金融科技領域的核心價值和市場吸引力依然強勁。然而,從股價表現來看,投資者對於收購價與市場預期之間的落差仍然謹慎,股價未能突破Blackstone先前的收購價,反映市場對收購成交的不確定性有所保留。

值得關注的是,Iress過去曾有高達30億澳元的收購提案未能成功,這提醒我們私募股權對科技企業的估值與企業自身對未來發展的期望之間,往往存在較大分歧。對Iress而言,如何在維持公司長遠發展與滿足投資者回報之間取得平衡,是未來最大的挑戰。

此外,全球私募股權資金積極布局澳洲軟件行業,反映出軟件服務在數碼轉型大潮中的戰略地位日益突出。對香港及亞洲投資者來說,這類跨國私募資金進入澳洲市場的趨勢,值得密切留意,因為它可能帶來更多投資機會及行業整合的契機。

最後,Iress即將公布的半年度業績將是市場判斷其業務健康狀況和收購談判前景的關鍵指標,投資者應密切關注相關數據和管理層的指引,從而調整投資策略。

A rugged post-apocalyptic survivor standing in a wasteland, hyper-realistic portrait. A young man with a shaved military-style haircut, dirt- and blood-stained face, visible scars, intense determined eyes. Wearing layered tactical clothing: torn and weathered jacket, patched sleeves, multiple scarves and cloth wraps in earthy tones, tactical pants with reinforced padding. Covered in survival gear: large worn backpack, utility pouches on chest and waist, rope, knives, handmade tools, makeshift firearm at the hip. Textures of dust, rust, scratches on all equipment. Cinematic dystopian lighting, muted earthy color palette, shallow depth of field, dramatic storytelling atmosphere, ultra-detailed, photorealistic, 50mm lens.
