Q: Is LSPD recent results (Nov 2nd) represent a significant improvement or you would still stay on the side line before adding or starting new position? How would you compare NUVEI and LSPD today?
Thanks for your insight, Peter

5i Research Answer:

LSPD recently reported Q2 results for FY2024, with EPS of $0.04, beating analysts’ forecasts of $0.005. Revenue came in at $230.3M displaying growth of +25% and beating estimates of $214.05M. Management guidance for FY2024 is revenue between $890M to $905M. Management's commitment to enhancing the business is evident, reflecting their dedication to achieving profitability. The positive trends observed in recent quarters, driven by sustained top-line growth and cost-efficiency measures, suggest the potential for continued success in the coming years. Although solid results, we would still stay the line for a bit with LSPD and see if these trends remain consistent.

NVEI recently put together a solid and encouraging quarter. NVEI is a bit smaller than LSPD with a market cap at $2.75B versus $3.5B. We like NVEI more than LSPD, especially from a valuation standpoint considering that NVEI is valued at 9.8x forward earnings while LSPD is valued at 52.6x forward earnings.
