When a private equity firm splashes out £12.3 billion on a single company, I tend to sit up and take notice. Thoma Bravo’s recent acquisition of Dayforce, a company that makes software for human resources, wasn’t just a big number on a spreadsheet. To me, it was a flare fired into the night sky, signalling exactly where the so called smart money believes the real value is hiding. It’s not in some flashy, world changing gadget, but in the decidedly unglamorous world of enterprise software.
So, why on earth would anyone pay a fortune for software that manages payroll and performance reviews? The answer, my friends, is beautifully simple. It’s all about the subscription model. Once a company embeds software like Dayforce into its daily operations, ripping it out is about as appealing as performing your own root canal. It’s disruptive, expensive, and a monumental headache. This creates what the industry calls “sticky” customers, and for a private equity firm, that’s gold dust.
Think of it like being a landlord with thousands of tenants who have signed 10 year leases and can’t afford to move. The rent just keeps rolling in, month after month, year after year. This predictable, recurring revenue is the bedrock upon which these enormous buyout deals are built. It provides the stable cash flow needed to service the debt taken on to buy the company in the first place. It’s a far cry from the boom and bust cycles of other tech sectors, and frankly, it’s a lot more sensible.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the rest of us. If Thoma Bravo, one of the shrewdest operators in this space, believes Dayforce is worth a hefty premium, what might that suggest about its publicly traded cousins? Companies like Workday or Paycom swim in the same pond, serving similar clients with similar business models. Could it be that the public market is undervaluing them?
When a private buyer pays top dollar, it can force public market investors to re-evaluate their own sums. It’s a bit like seeing your neighbour’s house sell for a surprisingly high price. Suddenly, you start to wonder if your own property might be worth more than you thought. This isn’t a one off deal, it’s part of a much larger trend, what some are calling the Enterprise Software Buyout Boom. The logic is that if one company in the sector is deemed a prize asset, others with similar characteristics could well be next on the shopping list.
Of course, it would be foolish to think this is a one way bet. Investing is never that simple. For a start, rising interest rates make these kinds of debt fuelled buyouts more expensive, which could cool the ardour of even the most enthusiastic private equity suitor. Competition in the software world is also notoriously fierce, and a nasty economic downturn could see businesses tightening their belts and cutting back on software subscriptions.
And let’s not forget the regulators, who are casting an increasingly sceptical eye over big tech consolidation. The idea that a few giant firms could control the essential digital plumbing of the global economy is, quite rightly, making some people nervous. Any of these factors could throw a spanner in the works. Still, the Dayforce deal has undeniably changed the conversation, highlighting a corner of the market that, while not exciting, could prove to be remarkably resilient.
