Team Internet Group — Positive progress in H1

Team Internet’s H1 results were in line with the July trading update. DIS’s 28% EBITDA growth should support the disposal process, whith discussions ongoing with multiple parties. Management continues to expect a valuation materially above $160m, with completion around year-end. Comparison is establishing itself as the key pillar of the post-DIS story, with H1 net revenue up 38% and EBITDA up 56%. Growth remains predominantly DACH-led, but new channels, such as Google Shopping ads, broaden the opportunity, and France is now profitable. Search has completed its transition away from AFD and returned to profit in June, although RSoC remains unpredictable as the model matures. Our estimates look well-supported with a sum of the parts (SOTP) returning a 60–70p fair value.

DIS and Comparison EBITDA up 37% in H1 2026

H1 results were in line with the July trading update and encouraging overall. DIS net revenue increased 8% and EBITDA 28%, despite lower gross revenue, reflecting the focus on higher-value accounts and operational rationalisation. Comparison was particularly strong, with net revenue up 38% and EBITDA up 56%, while Search completed its transition away from AFD and returned to profitability in June. With H2 typically stronger, the results provide good support for our unchanged EBITDA forecasts.

Comparison the key pillar of the post-DIS story

Comparison is increasingly emerging as the key growth pillar of the remaining group. New acquisition channels, including Google Shopping ads, broaden the opportunity beyond traditional search, while international expansion provides additional upside. Non-DACH activity remains modest, but France is already profitable at a relatively low revenue base, supporting management’s view that the model can be replicated in new geographies with limited incremental investment.

Valuation: Material upside from a successful transaction

Our EBITDA forecasts are unchanged, although we modestly increase EPS on lower depreciation and amortisation and nudge FY26e year-end net debt to $105m (vs $103 previously). Our peer-based SOTP implies 60–70p/share, versus a current price of 42p, including 63–72p/share for DIS and 28–31p for Comparison before net debt. A successful DIS transaction should therefore crystallise significant value, while further upside could come from Comparison growth, Search recovery, post-disposal cost savings and the antitrust claims.


H1 results

DIS: Strategic initiatives drive margin expansion and should support disposal discussions

Domains, Identity and Software (DIS) performed well in H1, with net revenue up 8% to $40.8m and adjusted EBITDA up 28% to $13.7m. Gross revenue reduced by 6% to $97.9m reflecting the focus on higher-value, more profitable accounts, alongside growth in value-added services, which increased to 18.9% of DIS revenue from 17.1%. As a result, gross margin increased to 41.7% from 36.5%, while ongoing operational rationalisation also supported EBITDA growth.

Looking ahead, the next ICANN new gTLD round should provide an additional tailwind, with activity expected to build from later this year and support demand for registry and related services, providing good support for our estimate. We believe this solid progress and prospects should support the sales process.

The DIS strategic review is said to be at an advanced stage with discussions ongoing with multiple parties interested in all or parts of the division. Management continues to anticipate a valuation materially above $160m and completion around year-end. We believe that the drawn-out timetable reflects the complexity of the transaction and a dynamic market backdrop rather than any weakening of the process.

Comparison: Emerging as the key post-DIS growth pillar

Comparison was particularly strong in H1 and is increasingly emerging as the key growth pillar of the post-DIS business. Gross revenue increased by 18% to $32.9m, while gross profit/net revenue rose by 38% to $12.4m, lifting gross margin to 37.7% from 32.3%; adjusted EBITDA increased by 56% to $8.4m, with EBITDA conversion rising to 67.7%. The business is also broadening its growth opportunity through new customer-acquisition channels, (eg Google Shopping ads), which should reduce its reliance on traditional search. International remains modest, with non-DACH gross merchandise value at just 5.2%, but France is now profitable at a relatively low revenue base. Management believes this demonstrates that the model can be replicated in other geographies with limited incremental investment and limited drag on profitability as those markets develop. Comparison is typically H2 weighted and management expects this seasonal pattern to repeat in FY26, providing further support for our forecasts.

The group continues to pursue self-funded damages claims arising from conduct established by regulatory anti-trust decisions. Management notes that a successful outcome could be material relative to the group’s current market capitalisation, although timing and quantum remain uncertain.

Search: On a more solid footing, RSoC still finding its way

Search is now on a more solid footing following a hugely challenging transition. The company’s growth strategy is now based on connecting consumer audiences with advertisers across digital platforms that are not directly integrated, using content-led formats such as Related Search on Content (RSoC) versus the previous AdSense for Domains (AFD) centric model, which monetised traffic from parked domains. Legacy AFD revenue was negligible in H1 and has been nil in H2 to date, while Search returned to EBITDA profitability in June. The division and the wider market are still refining customer journeys and workflows around RSoC, so revenue growth remains difficult to predict, but management expects a profitable H2. With activity heavily weighted to Q4, the peak fourth-quarter period will be the key determinant of the full-year outcome.

Estimates

Our group EBITDA forecasts are unchanged at $46m in FY26e and $50m in FY27e, although we have modestly rebalanced the divisional mix, with a greater contribution from Comparison offsetting lower expectations for Search. EPS increases, principally reflecting lower forecast depreciation and amortisation, while our FY26 year-end net debt estimate is nudged higher to reflect a higher forecast cash tax charge.

Valuation: A successful transaction should support material upside

Our peer-based SOTP framework continues to indicate meaningful upside.

For DIS, applying the peer median multiple to our FY26e EBITDA forecast implies a value of $208m–$241m, or 63–72p/share, consistent with management’s expectation of a transaction value materially above $160m. As previously, we note that the divisional EBITDA bears a substantial allocation of central costs that would not necessarily transfer to a buyer.

Comparison underpins the post-DIS investment case with a relatively modest 5-6x EBITDA multiple implying a $94–104m or 28–31p/share valuation. While Search looks to be on a substantially stronger footing, valuing the business is difficult until it shows some consistency of earnings. Hence, we apply a low multiple on earnings which could turn out to be trough levels, returning a valuation of 2–4p/share.

After deducting $118m of June 2026 net debt, our FY26e SOTP implies a value of 60–70p/share.

We see several potential drivers of further upside, including a stronger-than-expected DIS disposal price, continued growth and margin expansion in Comparison, further recovery in Search, post-disposal cost rationalisation and potential proceeds from the group’s antitrust damages claims.

SynAct Pharma — Post-hoc analysis strengthens Phase III case

SynAct Pharma has reported further analysis of the Phase IIb ADVANCE study (testing resomelagon in rheumatoid arthritis), providing a clearer explanation for the unexpectedly strong placebo response. Management estimates that around 20% of patients entered the study during a temporary inflammatory flare, with this subgroup accounting for much of the variability observed in the placebo arm. Excluding these patients, the 40mg resomelagon achieved an ACR20 response of 79% versus 55% for placebo (p<0.05), alongside greater separation in ACR50 and DAS28 improvements. We believe the analysis strengthens the overall interpretation of ADVANCE and should provide useful support for upcoming regulatory discussions. Importantly, we believe that these findings offer a practical framework for the Phase III design, where tighter selection of patients with stable baseline inflammatory activity should be as important as demonstrating deeper and more durable responses over the proposed 26-week treatment period.
