RE: The wait continues but some optimisim6 Mar 2024 13:05
A quick bump up in the SP would be great but not really realistic at this stage. For me the business is sound but needs to be taken a grip of, which I feel the new chairman has done and I hope will continue to do so. Trimming the fat out of the overheads in a controlled manner will take some time and cost some cash, but thereafter deliver a strong return on the effort and I would expect a notable growth in the bottom line. I would look for this company to build its EBIT to a double digit %., perhaps not for the 2024 FY but certainly the 2025 FY.
Further forward, it will be interesting to see how the commercial team is developed and how they expect to maintain grow momentum in relation to top line sales. Now is not the time to stagnate, but to prepare the foundation for controlled growth.
