Analysis · PAAC · Real Estate & Construction
This investor call transcript adds substantial new financial detail to the previously announced $525M merger. Astro Digital projects 47% revenue growth to $50M in 2026, targets $124M by 2029, and discloses a $63M backlog that more than doubled year-over-year. The pro forma enterprise value of approximately $587M implies roughly 8x 2027 revenue — below the peer median despite Astro Digital being the only profitable company in the comparison set. Q2 2026 revenue grew 54% to $11.3M with adjusted EBITDA more than doubling, confirming accelerating momentum. The $50M PIPE with $25M committed by Proem's own affiliates provides partial funding certainty, though the remaining $25M remains uncommitted. For a SPAC that had a going concern warning as recently as August, this deal represents a credible path to completing its business combination before the February 2028 deadline.
