Recent investor discussions around Tp Icap Group Plc (TCAP) have highlighted a strong emphasis on the anticipated float of Parameta, a significant subsidiary. There is considerable speculation regarding the potential value of Parameta, with some investors calculating that if it achieves a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16 during its float, it could allow the company to maintain a market cap around £2 billion while potentially returning as much as £400 million to shareholders. However, there are concerns about the timing of this listing due to current market volatility in the U.S. and doubts over the transparency of financial reporting related to past acquisitions.
Investor sentiment is mixed but leans towards optimism regarding the company's performance, which has reportedly exceeded analyst forecasts. Many believe that the float could unlock significant value not just for shares of Parameta, but for TCAP as a whole. Comments such as, "the market is not yet really recognizing the huge value here" and "this stock is also a direct beneficiary of market volatility," reflect a prevailing belief that TCAP remains undervalued relative to its potential. Despite some worries about management's cautious approach toward the float, many investors have expressed confidence in the company's future and its growth trajectory, reinforced by strong results and recent dividend increases.

TP ICAP Group PLC has reported a series of significant developments, including transactions in its own shares and an ambitious outlook for its Parameta Solutions division. Notably, the company has commenced its fourth share buyback program, allocating £30 million for repurchasing its ordinary shares. This follows the successful completion of its previous buyback programs and is a strategic move to enhance shareholder returns and manage its capital efficiently. Throughout this period, TP ICAP executed multiple share purchases, with varying volumes and price points, thus reinforcing its commitment to shareholder value.
From a financial perspective, TP ICAP posted record profits for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Group's adjusted EBIT rose by 12% to £324 million, while reported EBIT saw an impressive increase of 89% to £236 million, driven by strong performance across all divisions. Group revenue also reflected growth, with a 5% rise, underscoring the effectiveness of TP ICAP's diversified business model. Looking ahead, TP ICAP is targeting a potential listing for its Parameta Solutions unit in the United States as early as Q2 2025, revealing its strategic intent to capitalize on market opportunities while maintaining majority ownership.

Grantsu - I tend to agree |
personally feel that far too many people focus on Parameta when it comes to ICAP...they miss the bigger picture in terms of what a good business broking is. It has its pressures...but its an incredibly high barrier to entry business which should structurally benefit massively over the next decade as the world enters a new era of monetary policy. you have to say hats off to mgmt and the work they have done over the last two years...simply astounding effort in terms of cash generation, cost cutting and getting parameta into shape. |
Fear management are playing a risky game. Value will be revealed once Parameta is floated but clear mgmt is holding off while its still growing strongly and thus pushing up the valuation. The risk is the growth rate drops off and then they shoot themselves in the foot. I was told the listing was well advanced 6 months ago…. |
Thank you fft: I wasn't able to dial in. I'm well committed to this as a long term hold with good growth characteristics, and you have pulled out the main themes I'd have been interested to hear about. |
Curates egg of a meeting. I probably don't know enough about the how the business works but it seems to me that at a very low P/E it is doing now what Beeks is trying to do (and Beeks has a high p/e).As well as being the number 1 provider in a number of areas it has embarked on a serious cost cutting exercise that isn't promising too much.It has also floated the idea of floating it's data unit in the USA Some of the questions tried to get an idea of how, as a standalone unit, it might be valued - i.e. have all costs currently been transferred over - but mgmt played a fairly straight bat.Management said many times they were comfortable with forecasts, which sounded to me that they were confident of beating them. Increased volatility should mean more revenue and they themselves said H1 was less volatile, and with the USA election coming up, the yen carry issue (smile on face from CEO) etc etc, it seems H2 is in the bag.Yield is very good and it seems a safe long term hold with promises of capital growth. |
EPs up near 50% but no divi increase. Bit stingy? But at least they are increasingly comfortably covered. |
Good results, but I guess it's the phrase " which might entail a listing in the United States" that's caused the rise. |
Lots of nerves |
rising tide lifts all boats - bgc/gfi up over 100% last year, tp up 35% conditions excellent tullet management these days abysmal |
Something cooking or just traders taking it to top of the trading range? |

Stockopedia has this as a classic value share - fwd PER of 7 and fwd yield of 7%. |
TP ICAP Group's Net Funds excluding lease liabilities as of December 31, 2023 was £381 million. This represents a significant improvement in the company's financial position compared to the previous year. |
Really? |
I agree Chasbas. This is now my largest holding. Half year results are due 7th August. Fundamentals are very good and I particularly like the fact that they're trading below 'cash'. According to Stockopedia they have net liquidity (after debt is taken out) of £2.475billion yet their Market cap is only £1.56 billion. Analyst consensus is 277. |
I am piling into TCAP ahead of results in August (date anybody?) hoping for news on Parameter but happy with fundamentals regardless. Love the yield of over 7% (at 202p) which seems to me to be very secure IMO. There are share buy backs so balance sheet is strong. Management is focusing on capital management. |
Agreed Mpage. Have now filtered him too. |
@XAMF - Agree. Have filtered him out forever. |

That is one serious dividend payment, gratefully received..... |
Kind of nothingy in a good way, but this sounds promising: "We continue to explore options to unlock the value of Parameta Solutions for shareholders, including a potential IPO of a minority stake in the business." |
