Review of Topicus.com

MAR 04, 2025 - TOI possessed some of the most solid organic growth profiles among the serial acquirer’s landscape and CSU’s entities. TOI continues to apply Constellation Software’s playbook of capital allocation, and decentralization in the European market. The company paid out a special dividend in 2024, and the attitude toward that policy was quite conflicting as investors were concerned about the deal pipeline. Shareholders would be more than happy to see the company deploy that into acquisitions given the company’s track record. That being said, the company has shown an acceleration in recent quarters in terms of the pipeline of acquisitions and revenue growth. We think the long-term investment thesis as a capital-light serial acquirer or “mini-CSU” remains intact. We are maintaining our rating at “A-”.

Q: Lumine stock has been firm over past few days and seems to have broken out to new highs Today. ( Relative to TOI and CSU ). Is there any news, you are aware of, or, it's the stock technically coming out of consolidation ?

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I read with interest this passage from a big fund quarterly report:

“We sold our smallest holding, Lumine, a small vertical market software business spun off from Constellation Software and still controlled by it. We’ve had trouble getting too excited about these spins from the mothership as we previously sold Topicus, another Constellation-owned business. These spinoffs tend to be nice businesses, but tiny and illiquid. Plus, Constellation continues to control the business economics and voting rights. It makes more sense for us to concentrate our research focus on Constellation.”

Is it fair to say that large funds often face challenges in initiating or maintaining meaningful positions in spinoffs like Lumine or Topicus, particularly due to limited liquidity and the ongoing control exerted by Constellation Software?

Thank you in advance for your insights.
