The structural challenge
Smaller public companies face headwinds that compound over time
Market dynamics create persistent valuation gaps that boards struggle to resolve through conventional means.
Altuva was built specifically to address this.
Persistent NAV discount
Market price does not reflect the underlying value of assets on the balance sheet and no catalyst exists to close the gap.
No exit path
Strategic buyers rarely focus on sub-$300M companies. M&A processes are slow, uncertain, and rarely close at fair value.
Ongoing cash burn
Public company compliance and operating costs continue to erode capital, even as strategic options narrow.
Conventional options fall short
Most available paths create new problems rather than solving the original one.
Stay listed - costs continue, no value catalyst
Seek a buyer - limited universe, uncertain outcome
Wind down - disorderly, rarely maximises value
Reverse merger - complex, unknown counterparties
