Yep they sold for 750m, and now its worth over double that. No wonder Gareth Morgans kiwisaver is one of the worst performers.

I don't follow your logic. THEY MADE 750M off a much smaller capital investment! The return on capital must be staggering. You are quibbling over the extra increase in value, but how much does a person need? If you are calling them stupid, where is your 750m company? lol.

Trademe is a fairly mature business. Where will the revenue growth come from? There is a limit to the amount of product development they can achieve, and they can't move into another country. Maybe they will crank up auction fees? I guess you will need to hold shares as a regular user to offset the inevitable increases in fees! I might be wrong, but I'll be happy to steer clear of this one. I bet mum & dad investors will flock to the brand though.

Looks like an IPO price of $2.70. This is at the top end of its $2.30-to-$2.70 indicative range.
What are your guys thoughts on the price. Too high? just right? Will still see excessive demand?

Hmmm... without the propectus (due to get registered today I think) the book build at the high end suggests demand,,so it will be keenly sought after.
Fairfax have cleaned out the cupboards with a generous dividend to themselves (maybe equivalent to 50c/s div)..so no family silver left for the future shareholders.
Without much data and working on deductions which could be totally wrong...a back of the envelope approx calculation by me suggests
about 400M shares issued.. one third of which is to go public = 135M shares
Profit 69.7M / 400M shares = Earnings / share = 17.4c/s
PE 15.5 @ share price $2.70
Dividend 17.4c/s lets say they pay out 70% = 12c/s === 4.5% yield.
so I would have these figures in mind before I get to see the Propectus......Its priced about right...so atm using rough figures it doesn't seem to offer any stag potential..does it?
Feel free to correct my deduced figures if in error...or have exact figures
EDIT: update ...134.6M shares to be floated representing 34% of total issued

When it comes to valuing IT companies, NZ investors have as much clue as Winston Peters does about the word "No".
