A data-driven guide to finding growth opportunities in European
subsectors and asset pool
LONDON, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gain.pro is
excited to announce the launch of the inaugural edition of the
"European PE Asset Handbook," a comprehensive report offering a
quantitative perspective on the European private equity (PE) asset
pool. This handbook highlights growth opportunities across various
subsectors, providing invaluable insights for investors and
industry professionals.
- Based on our quant scorecards, Financial Services and
TMT emerge as the most attractive sectors for PE firms to invest
in. These sectors feature market-leading growth rates with
high profitability and above-average buy-and-build activity. Other
subsectors that jump out are Professional Services, Technical
Services and Biotechnology.
- By region, France,
Italy and CEE emerge as attractive
regions for investment. France
shines on high profitability, CEE on high growth and Italy on low multiples. UK and
DACH are at the bottom of the pack for most metrics that
investors look for. We are already seeing a shift in PE deal
activity away from the UK and DACH and into France and Italy.
- PE market penetration is highest in Infrastructure,
Technology, MedTech and Software. 12-15% of sizeable assets
(>100 FTE) are PE-owned. Infrastructure assets typically
generate predictable, long-term cash flows making them suitable for
PE-backing, while Technology and Software boast one of the highest
growth rates and margins across industries.
Comprehensive Insights Across Four Chapters
- Quant Scorecards: Our quant scorecards provide a
quick snapshot of the most attractive subsectors and regions for
capital deployment. These insights are based on key metrics such as
growth, profitability, buy-and-build strategy, leverage and EBITDA
multiples.
- Growth as a Key to Value Creation: The handbook
explores how growth is pivotal to PE value creation, identifying
high-growth, high-margin subsectors that present lucrative
investment opportunities.
- In-depth Metrics Analysis: The research then delves
into the metrics for each of the 27 subsectors in Europe, offering detailed insights into their
growth, profitability, capital intensity, leverage,
internationalization and more.
- Private Equity Penetration: Finally, we examine
varying degrees of private equity penetration across different
sectors, highlighting trends in asset sizes, revenue concentration
and sector dominance across regions.
A Must-Have Resource for Investors
The "European PE Asset Handbook" is an essential resource for
investors looking to navigate the complex landscape of European
private equity. Whether you are seeking to identify high-growth
opportunities or understand sector-specific dynamics, this handbook
offers the detailed analysis and insights needed to make informed
