I looked at HGT yesterday and most of their PF companies were seeing 25%+ underlying growth in revenue. GROW businesses look like they are doing very well, it is purely a question of valuation. But if £10 was clearly too much, perhaps £2.70 is too low. Who knows - we need the IPO market to wake up before the valuation issue can be addressed

Remarkable. Not great obviously but the current discount to Sept NAV is 68% and GROW did confirm on 30 March that both Ledger and Isar recently raised funds at their Sept valuations. These are valued at £95M versus £73M for Graphcore.

re GROW, Sunday Times report that Sequoia have written their holding in Graphcore down to zero. If indeed a zero, that would mean a 4% hit to GROW's nav

I admit it's a while since I looked properly, but a great many unprofitable co's are going to struggle to raise money going forwards - the last 14 years of free money are over - so GROW will need to pick & chose who to support. Many won't make it.

Never inspires me that Cazoo is the one that jumps out on here:

And Revolut. And Trustpilot. All the ones I recognise I wouldn't touch with a bargepole :)

Maybe it's worth looking again at this discount, but I see they realised £13m in the boom time 6 months to Sept, spent £112m, had £28m group cash remaining, and a £150m expanded debt facility.

If they can maintain valuations across the wider portfolio then this is obviously incredible value - hard to tell how this reads across to the rest of the portfolio, but an encouraging first sign. Also worth noting that there has been a sharp rise in the NASDAQ since start of the year - if you take this as a very broad sign of sentiment in the tech space, then GROW clearly has some catching up to do.

So nearly doubled and then nearly halved in a few months...and no NAV update until late April (presuming the provide an unaudited NAV with their trading update prior to full results in mid June). Late Oct / Early Nov rally in the share price off the lows was helped by the NAV decline in the Interims being "relatively" modest, at least in relation to the size of the discount. Does the same story play out again in a month's time?

It looks like GROW had drawn down £90m from SVB. I'd say that's more a problem for the administrators of SVB than for GROW.

I don't agree with that analysis. Sales may be up but from what base and at what cost? Also, we have seen a valuation contraction so while 70% growth is good, the market is probably paying a quarter for early stage growth of what it was 18 months ago. OTOH GROWs valuations never seemed as punchy as the frothy end of the US market. But I'd say the current price is about right. One or two major winners though and it would look very cheap. Look forward to the webinars. I do believe these guys know what they're doing. It's the valuations the market applies that is harder to be confident about

Plus our year end results say sales on average growing by 65% across core portfolio. SO even if valuations in sector down by multipoles of sales and other fixed factors our growth may outpace the tighter valuation tendency.

Also in our results over 80% of core have 2 year plus runways, including REvolout, so none need to go to market over the next year when conditions are tight. If this market persists for more then 12 months they will start throttling back on growth to extend runway lengths.

Looks to me that apart for our listed shares GROW has a great portfolio not vulnerable in aggregate to down -rounding. CAZOO excepted we have 2 good listed shares who may recover much value over the next 2 years. Uipath and trustpilot are great business models. They seem to be growing. Maybe worth a direct punt at these levels.

yes a long way to any sensible share price

2/3rds nav due to current market conditions normal. 26.5% of nav either massive overshoot on downside or indication that something seriously wrong on nav calculations.

i think there is no evidence of problems with nav calculations and the upcoming half year results will help reassure the market.

from 2/3 nav share to an share price of nav/ share and beyond will require a market and sector recovery.

i think that will come sooner rather than later as sector dip closely tied to interest rates not recession fears. thus as soon as recessions kick in interest rates will flatten then drop, deputy of boe saying that moment may have arrived already. with it will be a big relief rally for whole tech sector but especially the unlisted private bit.

we could be back to nav/share by this time next year. indeed that is precisely what our only broker guidance predicts, so 3x over 12 months from here

good luck all
