Unveiling Mobility Landscape: Exploring African Passports (Using STAR Method)

Situation: Peakpine, commissioned by a multinational firm, undertook a groundbreaking research project on the “HEALTH” (visa-free access) of African passports. This research aimed to understand the travel freedom and potential brain drain within the African continent.

 

The Task: Analyze data on African passport mobility, assess the rate of diaspora seeking opportunities abroad, and provide valuable insights for potential investors.

UNCOVERING FINANCIAL INCONSISTENCIES- A DUE DILIGENCE FOR THE BUY SIDE

Situation: Peakpine’s team was approached by a buy-side client considering a N1.2 billion investment in a young, unquoted micro-lending company. The client was attracted by the company’s pitch, but the team had concerns due to:

  • Limited financial history: The company only had 3 years of operation, providing limited data for analysis.
  • Unquoted shares: The absence of market validation through public listing raised concerns about the proposed price.

Task: The Peakpine team was tasked with conducting financial due diligence to assess the target company’s true value and advise the client on the investment decision.

Action: Peakpine utilized a three-pronged approach:

  1. Interest Earnings per Share Model: This model revealed inconsistencies in the company’s reported earnings compared to the proposed share price.
  2. Industry Benchmarking: The team compared the unquoted company to established, publicly traded micro-lenders, revealing a significant 12x overvaluation (N25 vs N300).
  3. Financial Forecasting: Independent forecasts further supported the industry benchmark and cast doubt on the company’s projected profitability justifying the N300 valuation.
