Insights Beyond the Snapshot

1. How can I conduct target screening for private companies in Southeast Asia?

For investors and advisory professionals, target screening starts with defining the right company universe. Standard industry filters can be too broad to capture companies with specific business activities, particularly when screening private companies across Southeast Asia.

Speeda addresses this with 580+ proprietary, Asia-focused industry classifications, which map companies based on their actual business activities. Professionals can use these classifications alongside Global and Local SIC codes, keywords, and financial criteria to build more precise target lists. This enables investors and advisors to move from industry mapping to target screening with greater precision, helping them identify relevant private companies that may be overlooked when relying solely on standard industry classifications.

2. How can I find comparable private companies for peer comps?

When listed-company comparables are limited or do not adequately represent a target’s business, professionals can build peer sets directly from private company financials. Speeda enables analysts to identify and compare private companies based on revenue bands, geography, sub-sector classification, and financial metrics such as margin ranges, rather than relying only on a small set of public companies. This allows investors, advisors and other professionals to construct more relevant and granular peer groups for peer comps, valuation, and benchmarking analysis across Southeast Asia.

3. How can I conduct benchmarking analysis when public comparables are limited?

Benchmarking private companies can be difficult when comparable listed companies are limited or do not accurately reflect the private market. Speeda enables professionals to benchmark companies against industry financial benchmarks derived from private companies with available financial data. Depending on the analysis, professionals can assess a broad range of financial indicators covering growth, profitability, productivity, efficiency, leverage, liquidity, shareholder return, and valuation. These benchmarks can also be compared across markets to assess company performance and industry dynamics, supporting financial benchmarking, peer analysis, and investment decision-making across Asia.

4. How can I use private company data to support deal sourcing and investment research?

Effective deal sourcing and investment research require more than identifying a list of potential targets. Investors need to understand the company, the deal context, and the market in which the target operates. Speeda brings together private company data, financial information, M&A insights, and industry research, enabling professionals to move from company screening to target evaluation within a connected research workflow. By analyzing a company’s financial profile alongside M&A activity, comparable transactions, and industry trends, investors can develop a more informed view of potential opportunities and prioritize targets for further evaluation.

5. How can I validate market assumptions and investment theses with industry experts?

Company and market data can help investors and advisors identify opportunities and form initial hypotheses, but some questions—such as market dynamics, competitive positioning, customer decision-making, procurement processes, or industry-specific operational practices—require insights that are difficult to obtain from databases alone. Speeda combines its data and market intelligence platform with on-demand access to industry experts, enabling professionals to validate market assumptions, deepen commercial due diligence, and test investment theses with practical, experience-based perspectives. This can be particularly valuable when researching fast-moving or opaque markets where reliable information is difficult to obtain.
