Has fallen steadily from 22p in Nov 2020 (disregarding the previous highs of £1 in 2017 and £3 in 2014!) but now looks to be on the upturn. So few shares in circulation (100m) with 43% credited to Mutual Holdings who hold on behalf of a dormant company, BBHISL Nominees, which in turn is held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) which is the oldest and one of the largest private investment banks in the United States - they took out their investment in Feb 2019 when the POS share price was 50p! Jeff Thrall, non-executive Chairman of Plexus, has an indirect beneficial interest in Mutual Holdings.
This morning's news of a contract for over £5m (with £2.5m to be recognised in 22-23 and the remainder in 23-24) is fantastic for a Company with a market cap of only £4m (even after today's rise). Plexus are a market leader in wellhead seals for reducing pollution from new and decommissioned oil drilling - they are in partnership with the renowned company Schlumberger in a market forecast to reach almost $12billion by 2020. As CEO, Ben van Bilderbeek, says today, 'I believe Plexus is finally turning the corner and will prosper in the coming years, both organically, and with major technology licensees such as TechnipFMC and SLB, who have recognised and adopted the unique benefits of the ESG and NetZero compliant POS-GRIP method of wellhead engineering.'
