Our fundamental outlook remains positive on the investment banking and brokerage sub-industry. We think strong momentum in the global capital markets will continue in 2021, albeit with some fall off from the parabolic moves in investment banking fee revenues that were realized most of 2020. Equity markets have climbed to all-time highs, driven by the Fed’s low rate policy and injection of liquidity into the Treasury and assetbacked mortgage markets. Retail investors has also contributed to higher trading volumes and fee commission. Equity trading volumes and transaction fees have increased significantly with greater investor participation with equity inflows and active trading from retail investors. In our view, investor confidence has been more positive about future economic conditions, with the S&P 500 Index up from March 2020 lows. We think the investment banks could realize 7%-9% plus growth year over year in debt underwriting fees from new issuances, driven by high yield corporate bond issuances. Investment banking fees set a first half record in 2021, reaching $79.7 billion or a 26% increase Y/Y says Refinitiv. This is the strongest six-month period since records began in 2000, but we think the Y/Y gains will be much lower in the second half of 2021. On a Q/Q basis, investment banking fees declined 12% in Q2 2021 from the recordbreaking Q1 2021. Overall, global debt offerings were $5.3 trillion in the first half of 2021, down 8% Y/Y, but only the second time new debt issuances crossed $5.0 trillion for six months. Equity capital markets activity was up 50% Y/Y to $686.5 billion in the first half of 2021 and making the strongest first six-months period. As of July 2021, we are seeing continued strength in IPO activity ahead. Technology has been the hottest area, with recent IPOs generating higher investment banking fees. During the first half of 2021, global IPO activity tallied $209.3 billion, more than 3x last year’s total and the strongest three-month period for global IPOs since records began in 1980, according to Refinitiv. There were 2,400 secondary equity offerings that totalled $363 billion during first half of 2021, up 21% Y/ Y, according to Refinitiv.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. Stock Value Grade

Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.

AAII’s A+ Investor Value Grade is derived from a stock’s value score. The value score is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the price-to-sales ratio, price-earnings ratio, enterprise-value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, shareholder yield, price-to-book-value ratio and price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all six ratios or, should any of the six ratios not be valid, the remaining ratios that are valid. To be assigned a Value Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) ratio and corresponding ranking for at least two of the six valuation ratios.

Stocks with a Value Score from 81 to 100 are considered deep value, those with a score between 61 and 80 are a good value and so on.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. has a Value Score of 75, which is Value.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. Stock Quality Grade

Like the Value Grade, AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the percentile rank of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score.

The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the underlying “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk. Backtesting of the Quality Grade shows that stocks with higher grades, on average, outperformed stocks with lower grades over the period of 1998 through 2019.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality subcomponents and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the subcomponents.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. has a Quality Score of 8, which is Very Weak.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. Stock Earnings Estimate Revisions Grade

The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score considers the magnitude of a company’s earnings surprise in its last two reported fiscal quarters. Often, positive surprises beget further positive surprises‐or at least continued sales growth (the exact opposite is generally true, too).

Estimate revisions offer an indication of what analysts are thinking about the short-term prospects of a firm. The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score is based on the statistical significance of a firm’s last two quarterly earnings surprises and the percentage change in its consensus estimate for the current fiscal year over the past month and past three months.

Runway Growth Finance Corp. has an Earnings Estimate Revisions Score of 68, which is Positive.

Other Runway Growth Finance Corp. Stock Grades

In addition to Value, Estimate Revisions and Quality, A+ Investor also provides grades for Growth and Momentum.

The Momentum Grade helps uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming.

Growth investing builds on the idea that stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth outperform those of slower—growth companies. AAII measures several dimensions of growth in its Growth Grade, including year—over—year increases in sales and earnings, long(er)—term historical sales and earnings growth rates and analyst‐forecasted long—term earnings growth.

These 2 key factors, when combined with the above, provide a holistic view into a stock. Further, by joining A+ Investor you can see whether Runway Growth Finance Corp.’s stock passes any of our 60+ stock screens that have outperformed the market since their creation.
