RE: Called 60p in dec2122 Jun 2022 09:36
I sense sarcasm, so clearly you struggle with the difference between valuation and sentiment based market value. So back 6 months ago the price was based on a similar backdrop of high returns and slowing of sales.
So today, we are facing the same returns but the driver isn't covid but inflation. Where covid has ended, inflation is only beginning. So for a low margin high volume business, this is catastrophic. And given this targets a demographic which is ultra sensitive to inflation with low savings and high leverage.
I would imagine this will see a series of profit warning and operational optimisation programs to squeeze margins. It will be a long slog in the range of 45p to 55p range ( without dilution or capital raises)
Nbrown isn't my first choice, ots just an resilient alternative where margins will be squeezed but volumes will be sustained as its an older customer with savings and approaching retirement range.
My favourite is trakm8, a low cap with 90% shares held by insiders or institutions . Works to reduce fuel costs and with major clients. Also working with adiona to launch the first AI based usage based insurance for motor vehicles. At mcap £9m with revenues of £20m, its both value and growth in the right environment. Just have a check of thr latest telematics m&a from private equity. And PE is always one step ahead
