Too Much Market Value for Too Small a Market
This niche business generates plenty of “adjusted EBITDA,” but no real profits. It also has too much market value for too small a market, especially in light of its deteriorating competitive position. Absent a textbook case of “stupid money risk,” (i.e. a grossly overpriced acquisition) the risk/reward does not look good for equity investors.
