What stands out

  • P/S below the industry

What to watch

  • Revenue growing under 10% a year

    Revenue grew -8.2% a year over the last three fiscal years, short of the 10% we look for.

  • Debt not well covered by cash flow

    Operating cash flow over the last twelve months equals -6434% of total debt; we look for at least 20%.

    The Altman Z-score is -7.67; above 3 is the safe zone and below 1.8 the distress zone.

Fair value

How we estimate it

We don't publish a fair value for LiveOne. It needs a US-dollar share price, at least two valuation methods with positive inputs (earnings, EBITDA, book value or sales) and, for companies with several share classes, classes that trade at the same price.

Valuation over time

Using the earnings and balance sheet published at each date, not today's.

  • EV/EBITDA at month end
  • Eating and Drinking Places median 12.2

An estimate from reported numbers and market multiples, not a price target or investment advice. It can be far off for companies whose profits are about to change sharply.
