Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Computershare’s global footprint, financial strength, and transnational capability provide a strong edge over competitors.

Bears

Computershare’s core registry and related services businesses are mature, and revenue is likely to only grow modestly. Integration and overpayment risks could arise if the firm keeps growing via acquisitions.

Company Profile

Founded in Australia in 1978, Computershare has grown via acquisitions to become the world's leading provider of issuer services. Employee share plans and communications services are commonly sold together with issuer services to corporations. The company also has a business services offering and a corporate trust business. Over the medium term, more than half of group EBITDA is expected to be generated from interest income on client cash balances, or margin income, which is exposed to interest-rate movements.
