NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascendiant Capital Markets LLC ("Ascendiant") issues equity research report on Society Pass Inc. (NASDAQ:SOPA) (the "Company"), Southeast Asia's (SEA) next generation e-commerce ecosystem.

Summary Points:
- Strong 2Q 2025 Revenue Growth: SOPA reported its 2Q 2025 revenues totaling $2.5 million, representing a 46% year-on-year growth, compared to previous estimates of $1.5 million.
- 2Q 2025 Profitability: SOPA earnings per share was $0.10, compared to estimates of $(0.24).
- Adjusting estimates: Ascendiant is raising its 2025 estimates for revenue to $8.8 million, from $6.2 million, and for EPS to $(0.42) from $(1.04). It is also raising its 2026 estimates for revenue to $10.0 million, from $9.0 million, and for EPS to $(0.47) from $(0.63).
- 1 IPO completed, another one should soon: In August 2025, NusaTrip went IPO on NASDAQ with the ticker NUTR and raised $17 million. Ascendiant expects Thoughtful Media to complete the IPO by the end of 2025 with its valuation to be comparable to NusaTrip.
- Company trading well below cash value: SOPA's market capitalization is only approximately $5 million while it has an estimated $29 million in cash ($17 million from NusaTrip's IPO), implying its shares and business are significantly undervalued.
- Company trading well below NusaTrip value: NusaTrip is currently trading at approximately $8.00 per share (or double its IPO price). Ascendiant estimates that SOPA owns approximately 12 million shares (or about 75% ownership) so its estimated value of NusaTrip is approximately $100 million. This represents a huge discount and disconnect from SOPA's current trading price and should be a huge catalyst to drive SOPA shares much higher.
- Positive High Risks versus High Rewards: Overall, concerns are outweighed by growth prospects and valuation. Society Pass's main products still have long commercialization challenges ahead, but we believe the ~billion dollars market potential presents high rewards for the risks.
- Current valuation attractive: Ascendiant maintains its BUY rating, but raises its 12-month price target to $18 from $15, based on a NPV analysis, representing significant upside from the current share price. It believes this valuation appropriately balances out the company's high risks with its high growth prospects and large upside opportunities.
