Dillistone Share Price (DSG)

DSG is currently up 5.56% today, rising 0.5p to 9.5p (8p - 11p), market cap. £1.87M.

The results look relatively good to me, and the shares look very good value at this price, still near the all-time closing low of 9p.

And I wouldn't be surprised to see some more director share buying shortly, following that in 2020-2022 at much higher prices.
