**as for 2019 :
“ Revenue for the 6 months to 30 June 2019 was £9.55m, down 9% on the prior period (£10.54m in H1 2018). Our gross margin has improved marginally from 51% in 2018 to 53% during the period.
On 21 August 2019 we announced that the pipeline of revenue from new customers previously forecasted will not materialise during 2019, although new business bookings are anticipated in the second half. As such, we re-iterate that full year revenue will be circa £19m”
You do realize that they are making millions of pounds in profit unlike many other companies in the same sector of business but with MCap much bigger than Brady’s current MCap so 90% drop in sp is an extreme over reaction to news about coming placing Which will be at multiple times the current sp?
Read their interim results and ask your accountant/investment advisor to explain it to you before calling it a disaster !!
