Jonathan Cantwell, Partner at GP Bullhound, said: “In Q3, the SaaS space has continued to accelerate the way businesses operate in the cloud globally. Clear winners and losers have emerged in the ‘new’ economy based on utilization and spend. Furthermore, we have seen a valuation spread between the public and private markets. This has been driven by the run up on public SaaS stocks, currently in the mid-teen revenue multiples, with private SaaS companies still commanding high revenue multiples approaching double digit revenue multiples and often higher. That said, not all SaaS businesses are created and valued equally.”
