Denison Mines announces $250 million convertible notes offering
On Friday, BTIG initiated coverage on SGHC Limited (NYSE: SGHC), a global online gambling company, with a Buy rating and a price target of $9.00. The research firm highlighted the company’s strong presence across five continents, with a significant portion of its revenue coming from online casino operations, which constitute approximately 80% of its total revenue. According to InvestingPro data, SGHC has demonstrated remarkable performance with a 107.61% return over the past year, generating revenue of $1.73 billion with a healthy gross margin of 44.14%.
SGHC’s revenue streams are notably derived from emerging markets, with around 40% coming from Africa and about 30% from Canada, of which nearly 40% is sourced from Ontario. These markets are characterized by early stages of expansion and regulation, which presents both opportunities and risks. BTIG analysts pointed out the potential for short-term revenue and profit compression due to regulatory changes, estimating a 10-30% reduction during the legal market transition. However, they also noted Super Group’s proven ability to rebound from such setbacks, citing Ontario’s return to pre-regulation revenue levels within 21 months. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong financial health with more cash than debt on its balance sheet, suggesting resilience to regulatory transitions.

The analysts also mentioned that while there is exposure to risk from regulating markets, which currently make up around 30% of SGHC’s revenue, this risk appears to be well recognized and sufficiently factored into the current valuation. They also observed that Super Group benefits from some cost savings in regulated markets, such as lower processing fees.
In their valuation framework, BTIG equates Super Group’s valuation with the company’s medium-term growth compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Despite applying a conservative approach to revenue and EBITDA projections from regulating markets, assuming no growth over a two-year period, BTIG still sees potential for the stock to rise above its current trading level. The firm’s positive outlook on SGHC reflects confidence in the company’s ability to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the growth opportunities within the online gambling sector.
