Diligent Boardbooks IPO

[TwinkleToes]

Is anyone familiar with this company which plans a $20m NZ issue for 20% of the stock capitalising it at $100m?

[light weight!]

Quite familiar with this IPO.

Assumes very high sales growth, and valuation based on high multiples which the company has yet to achieve.

Highly overvalued IMO.

They're thinking if Xero can do it, so can we.

Spoke to a few friends of mine in the IT industry about this company and its products. The Dr will not participate in this IPO.

According to the newspapers the IPO was over-subscribed.......... twice. Then the SP drops to $.95 cents on day one.

There must be some kind of word on the street in Christchurch as I cannot think why investors would want to throw their money at a Dot Com start up company when there are blue chip stocks currently on the market at discount prices.


Dot Com.... been there and done that. Not for me.

Good luck to all involved.
