Galliano’s Financials Research

Galliano's Financials Research provides fundamental research in Emerging Markets financials, including FinTech, as well as financials in select Developed Markets.

The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. 

Our investment research approach aim is often contrarian, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of PEG ratios and, where appropriate, Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuations.

<li>SoftBank’s internal transaction acquiring the 25% Arm stake held by SVF1 valued Arm at USD64bn; the IPO valuation range is from USD48bn to USD52bn</li>
<li>This valuation range implies an Nvidia-like price to prospective 2024E sales multiple range of 22x-25x; the prospectus reveals risks with Arm China, and confirms its lacklustre revenue and earnings growth</li>
<li>Given SoftBank’s largely negative track record on the after-market performance of its investee companies IPOs and SPOs; we expect further downside to SoftBank’s share price</li>
