Piteco is Italy’s leading company in the design, development and implementation of software for treasury, finance and financial planning management.
Investment summary
Piteco’s traditional corporate treasury business returned to growth in FY18 after a flat FY17, with growth accelerating in H2 and momentum continuing in FY19. Juniper Payments, the group’s US payments software business, recorded solid FY18 results while Myrios, acquired late in the 2018, made an impressive initial contribution. In February, Myrios Switzerland was established to target European corporates with the group’s software solutions. Given Piteco’s attractive growth profile and strong margins, we believe the shares look attractive on c 11x our FY20e earnings.
