INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Fast-growing Global Internet of People is set to broadly expand and transform the multi-billion-dollar peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and consulting industry. SDH is a highly regarded early mover that has been profitable every year since 2018.

The SDH model directly solves issues a key issue plaguing entrepreneurs and early-stage firms---management mentorship, expertise and consulting. Knowledge is shared and services are requested and provided via SDH’s online peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and enterprise service platform,  mobile app, and in-person forums and other events.

The Company boasts 5.5 million users and over 1500 paying users, corporations, and organizations. Its current stable of nearly 2,000 mentors and experts provide expertise in finance, technology, health care, manufacturing, etc.

SDH’s financial performance is impressive with by any measure. For 2020, SDH recorded $23.2M in revenue and EPS of $0.72. Our forecasts suggest a 48.7% leap in revenue to $34.5M and EPS of $1.08 in 2021 and revenue of $48.8M with EPS of $1.40 in 2022.

Our 6-month price target of $10.80 could prove to be too conservative. While it is customary for foreign stocks to trade at a discount to US peers, our target reflects a 10x P/E on projected 2021 EPS, a paltry metric compared to the 50% EPS growth rate we believe will be achieved this year.


COMPANY OVERVIEW

The View from 30,000 Feet

Tracing its roots to 2014, Global Internet of People, Inc. (NASDAQ – SDH) is set to broadly expand and transform the peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and consulting industry, a multi-billion-dollar global industry. Incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and with its business largely executed in China, the Company is a highly regarded early mover that has been profitable every year since 2018. Knowledge is shared and services are requested and provided via SDH’s online peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and enterprise service platform and the mobile app “Shidonghui App” (the “App”). Since inception in 2016, many of the Company’s services are executed through local offices directly operated in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, as well as 51 local centers operating large-scale member forums in 35 cities and 21 provinces throughout the PRC, with more cities and sites to be added, going forward.

SDH solves a critical gap in the PRC’s business environment. The PRC is enjoying substantial growth rate which has spawned the launch of many entrepreneurial and early stage, high-growth enterprises, many of which need corporate services such as financial consulting and management training. Enter SDH. In addition to providing high value enterprise services to PRC’s growing business communities, the Company has created an elite marketplace where qualified entities (individuals and enterprises) have opportunities to serve as providers and receive rewards by sharing their knowledge with others on the platform.

As of the end of March 2021, our knowledge sharing and enterprise service ecosystem had 632 Mentors, 1,161 Experts, 1,492 Members, and 5.5 million Users. In addition to serving its Users and Members, the bulk of SDH’s revenue is generated via the provision of the Comprehensive Tailored Enterprise Service Program geared to small and medium-sized enterprises in China through a dedicated team and leading Mentors, Experts, and consultants. These providers are successful entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and professionals with qualifications and achievements in major industries such as finance, energy, health care, technology, manufacturing and academia. Providers leverage their core knowledge bases which drawn upon their experiences, industry know-how, and social connections. The Company also launched GMB Regional Economic Accelerator, a business initiative designed to help with economic growth of less developed areas in China, by entering into cooperating programs with regional government entities for the purpose of providing services to local businesses—a key channel for SDH. Management is also seeking to expand its reach outside of China and has already achieved initial success via partnerships and additions of key experts and mentors.

Enviable Model, Tremendous Financial Performance

The SDH model is diverse and highly efficient which is due in part to leverage of revenue opportunities across platforms, services, clients, and geographies. The Company enjoyed a 29% jump in revenue from 2019 to 2020 with revenue reaching $23.2M in 2020, up from $17.9M the year before. This performance is impressive considering it occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, SDH generated over 132% in revenue growth in its largest segment, Comprehensive Tailored Services, which produced $13.4M in top-line performance last year. For the full year, SDH recorded $0.72 in EPS.  

Our financial model assumes revenue will grow by 48.7% to $34.5M and EPS of $1.08 in 2021 and 41.4% growth in revenue next year with EPS of $1.40. Top-line is expected to be led by its core driver along with advertising and merchandise sales, to a lesser degree. 

SDH Grossly Undervalued; Offers Major Upside

At current levels, SDH trades at an inexplicable 4.5x 2020 EPS and 3x our 2021E EPS forecast, despite its history of top-line and bottom-line growth. It is common for shares of foreign-domiciled companies, particularly those with a heavy concentration of business in China to trade at a discount to US stocks. However, the aforementioned price/earnings multiples border on the ludicrous---and presents a rare opportunity for savvy investors, in our view. The Company has traded on NASDAQ since February 2021 and is below its $4.00 offering price, further demonstrating inherent value.

Thus, our $10.80 six-month price target reflects a 10x EPS on multiple on forecasted 2021 EPS, a reasonable discount to its 50% projected growth rate, and a substantial discount to typical small cap US tech stocks that tend to trade 25-30x current year EPS projections.

SDH: ONE OF A KIND

SDH Image 2In our view, Global Internet of People, Inc. is poised to potentially generate industry-leading growth rates. According to Markets and Markets, the global management consulting services market is slated to grow from $819B in 2020 to 1.2T in 2025, a roughly 8% CAGR, as compared with a CAGR of 39.7% from 2020 – 2022 for SDH.

The Company has evolved from a peer-to-peer knowledge sharing platform that focused on in-person forums, study tours,1-1 mentorship, etc. to a blended model that includes this foundational approach to one that embraces online and mobile applications to quickly broaden its reach. Moreover, management has identified multiple revenue streams both offline and online that leverage its core expertise and service offering, thereby enabling the Company to enjoy outsized growth in several categories.

Finally, in an effort to emerge as a global leader, SDH has brought onboard leaders and users from North America and recently entered into an alliance with leaders of the Eurasian Cooperation and Integration Club (“LECIC”), a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting business development along the Eurasian economic and trade corridor, which runs through the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This union is an international economic union and free trade zone comprising countries located in central and northern Asia and Eastern Europe. We believe that cross-geographic revenue could be garnered by both parties, which could enhance growth and potentially SDH’s valuation.

The purpose of the forums is to share business intelligence with small and medium-sized enterprises and help them develop business plans and strategies. The themes of our forums are usually related to interpretation of newly published governmental policies, sharing of industry opportunities and perspectives on corporate transformation and growth. Members gain access to these events as well as study tours as part of their membership. In addition to providing services to our Users and Members, SDH has been providing customized enterprise service to small and medium-sized enterprises in the PRC since our inception in 2014. Enterprise service is an integral part of our platform, and a number of Enterprise Service Clients remain Members and Users.

Sponsorship advertising is a special form of advertising offered by SDH that relates to a specific publicity strategy engaged in SDH forums and study tours. Features include displaying sponsor name and logo throughout the event and  in promotional materials, etc. Fees can be as high as nearly $300,000 depending upon size and popularity of the event.

Merchandising involves the procurement and offer of key products through the platform to clients and the general public. Merchandise include Chinese tea, red wine, wellness products, gift cards, and others. Most of the merchandise for sale are obtained from SDH Members and enterprise service clients through an exchange of membership fees and consulting fees.

App Features: SDH provides Users two services on the APP: (1) Question and Answer (Q&A) Sessions and (2) Online Streaming of Courses and Programs. In addition, the APP has a community building function that facilitates relationship building on our platform including share “moments,” such as pictures and videos of their life experiences, via instant messaging, with other Users on the APP. Users must purchase top-up credits to pay for Q&A sessions. Providers set their own fees for Q&A sessions but the average fee for a Q&A session is around $4.00. Video and audio courses and programs are available on the APP for on-demand and live streaming. At present, the APP has approximately 5,279 audio and 4,748 video courses and programs available for streaming. The majority of the courses and programs are business-oriented, which cover subjects such as entrepreneurship development, financial service, corporate governance, team management, marketing strategy, etc. SDH also provides some focused courses and programs that target special audience groups, such as parent-child education for new parents, and business school selection programs for graduate students. The majority of online courses are sourced from third party content providers including professional content production companies and individuals.  At present, SDH release an average of 20 to 60 online courses and programs each month and have 5,000 to 15,000 online streaming sessions every week.

SDH produces in-house video and audio courses and programs for streaming on the APP and several other internet content providers in China, such as Tencent, iQiyi, Youku, and Himalaya FM. For example, SDH produces “Haiping’s Meeting Room”, a video program debuted in June 2017, hosted by SDH’s CEO, Mr. Haiping Hu, which focuses on sharing practical business knowledge through one-on-one or roundtable interviews with well-known entrepreneurs and executives. Each episode of “Haiping’s Meeting Room” receives 7 to 14 million visits.

As evidenced by Table I in the Financial Snapshot section below, Comprehensive Tailored Services are primed to continue to be the engine that drives business. Still, the more online features and services are incorporated, we believe that the addition of new members, users, and clients could markedly exceed our expectations, especially in 2022.

FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT

A Strong 2020 Leads to…

The Company enjoyed a 29% jump in revenue from 2019 to 2020 with revenue reaching $23.2M in 2020, up from $17.9M the year before. For the full year, SDH recorded $0.72 in EPS. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in the revenues generated from comprehensive tailored services, sales of merchandises, and online services and partially offset by the decrease of revenue in sponsorship advertising services, member services and consulting services. Specifically, SDH generated over 132% in revenue growth in its largest segment, Comprehensive Tailored Services, which produced $13.4M in top-line growth last year. This performance is impressive considering it occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenues from sponsorship advertising services decreased by $1.69M, or 20%, from $8.29M for the year ended December 31, 2019, to $6.6M for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to COVID-19, which prevented SDH from offering offline events from late January 2020 until the second quarter of 2020. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic in abeyance, we forecast a resurgence in this line item in 2021 and 2022.

…a potentially stronger 2021

 

SDH Image 4

 

Looking ahead, we forecast revenue will grow by 48.7% to $34.5M and EPS of $1.08 in 2021 As illustrated in Table I, we project the Enterprise Services Division’s Comprehensive Tailored Services will grow by 81% from $13.4M in 2020 to $21.4M in 2021. Growth will be led by current and future geographies as the Company’s offerings are clearly in high demand. This performance should drive a major increase in operating margin to 70%, up from 63.5% in 2020.

 

SDH Image 5

 

It should be noted that our individual categorical forecasts could prove to be low as it is difficult to extrapolate and project revenue from multiple sources using the pandemic year as a baseline. This is especially the case given the impressive top-line growth during this period. Moreover, we my see contribution from business abroad in 2H21 as well. For 2022, investors can expect much of the same type of growth, with revenue reaching $48.8M and EPS reaching the $1.40 mark. Profitability could be even higher depending upon operational efficiency and leverage as well as the tax rate.

RISK FACTORS

In our view, the Company’s biggest risk is related to the expansion of its current model into new markets and maintaining the high growth rates associated with key service offerings. It is possible that current and prospective corporate and individual clients/members may not see the value in the SDH lineup of services/products/experts, or may view them as too expensive. A swift return to normalcy or close to it following the COVID-19 pandemic may not foster a return to revenue growth in certain segments such as sponsorship advertising or limit the number of offline events or the number of participants. Another protracted lockdown could hamper disposable income for SDH services for individuals or stymie entrepreneurial growth. Competitive risks include lower pricing, more effective sales/marketing, greater business efficiency, or a deeper and more impactful library. Another risk could be the loss of leading experts and mentors to competitors.  

The aforementioned risks could come from larger competitors, existing firms, or new entrants. Still, these future concerns are consistent with firms of SDH’s size and standing. Moreover, we believe that SDH’s seasoned management team is prepared to overcome these hurdles and generate significant top-line growth and operating profit.

Volatility and liquidity are typical concerns for small cap stocks, especially those with a foreign domicile and whose primary revenue generation is focused on business outside of the U.S. Lower valuations, especially for China-centric companies are common as well due to financial controls concerns, thereby potentially limiting upside, despite the inherent upside potential.

VALUATION AND CONCLUSION

Fast-growing Global Internet of People is set to broadly expand and transform the multi-billion-dollar peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and consulting industry. SDH is a highly regarded early mover that has been profitable every year since 2018. The SDH model directly solves issues a key issue plaguing entrepreneurs and early-stage firms---management mentorship, expertise and consulting. Knowledge is shared and services are requested and provided via SDH’s online peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and enterprise service platform,  mobile app, and in-person forums and other events. The Company boasts 5.5 million users and over 1500 paying users, corporations, and organizations. Its current stable of nearly 2,000 mentors and experts provide expertise in finance, technology, health care, manufacturing, etc.

SDH’s financial performance is impressive with by any measure. For 2020, SDH recorded $23.2M in revenue and EPS of $0.72. Our forecasts suggest a 48.7% leap in revenue to $34.5M and EPS of $1.08 in 2021 and revenue of $48.8M with EPS of $1.40 in 2022.Our 6-month price target of $10.80 could prove to be too conservative. While it is customary for foreign stocks to trade at a discount to US peers, our target reflects a 10x P/E on projected 2021 EPS, a paltry metric compared to the 50% EPS growth rate we believe will be achieved this year.
