In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Choice Equities Capital Management highlighted a few stocks and Magnite Inc. (NASDAQ:MGNI) is one of them. Magnite Inc. (NASDAQ:MGNI) is an online advertising company. Year-to-date, Magnite Inc. (NASDAQ:MGNI) stock gained 129.8% and on December 14th it had a closing price of $18.75. Here is what Choice Equities Capital Management said:
“MGNI – Magnite shares have mostly treaded water of late and seem to have been treated as a bit of an afterthought. Perhaps prospective investors have been turned off by the name change from The Rubicon Project. Maybe there is some angst over the coming implementation of various privacy initiatives and their effect on the digital advertising ecosystem. Or it could be that the post-merger consolidated financials and short but steep drop in digital ad spend which drove EBITDA briefly negative for 2Q 2020 mean the company does not screen as particularly attractive at the moment.
However, the merger with Telaria, Inc. looks like a good one. With it, MGNI gets a leading position in the Connected TV market, the fastest growing segment of the digital advertising space, as management integrates a company with well-regarded functionalities and an industry leading customer list. Together, the company now becomes the leading supply side platform (SSP) and the only player of real scale in each of the CTV, audio, mobile and desktop formats. As publishers continue to consolidate their relationships with advertising partners down to just a handful of platforms (i.e. supply path optimization), Magnite’s offering as a true independent and objective omnichannel player positions the company as one of just a few likely winners. Though this share gain opportunity has been coming into focus for a while now, it is nice to see that their customers agree, as Disney and Hulu recently reiterated they were using Magnite for exactly these reasons.
As a share-gainer in an industry likely to grow at low double-digit growth rates or better, the company looks set to generate impressive growth in revenues and cash flows. Though trailing-twelve-month financials may not convey the message for now, the merger looks like the latest in a series of sound, strategic maneuvers by Magnite CEO Michael Barrett. For a company with an impressive management team, a good balance sheet and a bit of scarcity value as the only public SSP, valuation of just ~3x next year’s likely revenues seems quite compelling.”
