Ascendiant Capital Markets has published an equity research report on Society Pass (SOPA), highlighting significant growth potential through planned IPO spinoffs. The research maintains a BUY rating with an increased 12-month price target of $15 (up from $14). Two major catalysts for 2025 are the planned IPOs of Thoughtful Media Group (digital advertising) and NusaTrip (online travel platform). The company's current market cap of ~$7 million matches its cash holdings, suggesting significant undervaluation. Despite acknowledging commercialization challenges, Ascendiant sees high reward potential in the billion-dollar market opportunity, believing the risk-reward profile remains attractive for investors in Southeast Asia's data-driven loyalty, fintech, and e-commerce ecosystem.
Ascendiant Capital Markets ha pubblicato un report di ricerca azionaria su Society Pass (SOPA), evidenziando un significativo potenziale di crescita grazie ai piani di spin-off tramite IPO. La ricerca conferma un rating BUY con un aumento del target price a 12 mesi a 15$ (rispetto ai 14$ precedenti). Due catalizzatori principali per il 2025 sono le IPO previste di Thoughtful Media Group (pubblicità digitale) e NusaTrip (piattaforma di viaggi online). La capitalizzazione di mercato attuale della società, circa 7 milioni di dollari, corrisponde alle disponibilità liquide, suggerendo una forte sottovalutazione. Pur riconoscendo le sfide legate alla commercializzazione, Ascendiant vede un alto potenziale di rendimento nell'opportunità di mercato da miliardi di dollari, ritenendo che il profilo rischio-rendimento rimanga interessante per gli investitori nell'ecosistema di fidelizzazione, fintech e e-commerce guidato dai dati nel Sud-est asiatico.

Ascendiant Capital Markets a publié un rapport de recherche sur les actions de Society Pass (SOPA), mettant en avant un potentiel de croissance significatif grâce aux spin-offs prévus via des introductions en bourse. L'analyse maintient une recommandation d'achat avec un objectif de cours à 12 mois relevé à 15 $ (contre 14 $ auparavant). Deux catalyseurs majeurs pour 2025 sont les IPO prévues de Thoughtful Media Group (publicité digitale) et NusaTrip (plateforme de voyages en ligne). La capitalisation boursière actuelle de la société, d'environ 7 millions de dollars, correspond à ses liquidités, suggérant une sous-évaluation importante. Malgré la reconnaissance des défis liés à la commercialisation, Ascendiant perçoit un fort potentiel de rendement dans cette opportunité de marché de plusieurs milliards de dollars, estimant que le profil risque-rendement reste attractif pour les investisseurs dans l'écosystème de fidélisation, fintech et e-commerce axé sur les données en Asie du Sud-Est.
Ascendiant Capital Markets hat einen Aktienresearch-Bericht zu Society Pass (SOPA) veröffentlicht und dabei ein erhebliches Wachstumspotenzial durch geplante IPO-Spin-offs hervorgehoben. Die Analyse bestätigt eine KAUF-Empfehlung mit einem erhöhten 12-Monats-Kursziel von 15 USD (vorher 14 USD). Zwei wichtige Katalysatoren für 2025 sind die geplanten Börsengänge von Thoughtful Media Group (digitale Werbung) und NusaTrip (Online-Reiseplattform). Die aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung des Unternehmens von rund 7 Millionen USD entspricht den Barbeständen, was auf eine deutliche Unterbewertung hindeutet. Trotz Anerkennung der Vermarktungsherausforderungen sieht Ascendiant ein hohes Ertragspotenzial im Milliardenmarkt und hält das Risiko-Ertrags-Profil für Investoren im datengetriebenen Loyalty-, Fintech- und E-Commerce-Ökosystem Südostasiens weiterhin attraktiv.
