Bending Spoons: I Wouldn't Pay A Tech Multiple For This PE Play

Summary I think Bending Spoons S.p.A. operates like a tech-focused private equity fund, acquiring and restructuring distressed digital businesses, rather than a "traditional" tech company. Bending Spoon doesn't have a strong, integrated ecosystem of apps/platforms that can benefit from scale. It focuses on acquiring "cheap" businesses and optimizing their operations. BSP's growth is heavily reliant on M&A, with management allocating nearly $1B in IPO proceeds to future acquisitions and lacking clear organic growth guidance. Valuation hinges on M&A execution, which remains uncertain given the company's limited size. My DCF scenarios yield a wide price target range ($6–$122), reflecting high uncertainty and risk. I assign BSP a Hold rating, given the market's indecision on whether the company merits tech-like multiples or should be valued as a financial operator. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
