The bit on the end is my AI askig if I need re info. Forgot to delete.

A stab valuing the division.

If the £2.8 million is operating profit (EBIT) rather than EBITDA the valuation could be a bit higher. Buyers typically value a business based on EBITDA.

Assuming EBITDA ≈ £2.8m (or slightly higher):

6× EBITDA: £16.8m

8× EBITDA: £22.4m.

Based on this business I would plumb for the 8 times maybe higher (sector)

And thavaluation folks is around half of the current groups market cap.

 

Would you like me to build a quick table showing valuation ranges for EBIT vs EBITDA scenarios, and include what factors could justify a higher multiple (e.g., IP, niche expertise, recurring revenue)? Or should I also add a sensitivity analysis for growth assumptions and buyer type (trade vs private equity)?

I wonder if there is anything in this new area that Carclo could become involved in?

Just a thought.....

The late trades posted last evening are from Friday.

Could be the beginning of something very interesting, Testudo.

We certainly will reach new highs if this new defence work takes off. This Division of Carclo will be knocking on the door of the CTP Division before many years.

Demolition 123,

Please don't take this question wrong, I am just interested on opinions regarding Fiinu.

Referring to your last message , on what basis are you "not selling bt adding before Christmas."

Tia.

Carclo won initial orders from three major defense contractors for "air force defense solutions". While the company's public statements have not specified the exact products, its "Speciality Division" combines its aerospace and specialized optics businesses, which utilize specialized precision components. This suggests Carclo is manufacturing precision-engineered components for advanced defense systems.

Based on the nature of Carclo's expertise, the products are likely to be:

Precision optical components: Carclo has a deep history in developing and manufacturing specialized optics, particularly for LED lighting. These components could be integrated into advanced sensor, imaging, and targeting systems used in military aircraft.

Aerospace components: The company's Bruntons and Jacottet subsidiaries supply mechanical cable assemblies and machined components to the aerospace industry, including defense clients. The defense solutions could involve specialized parts for military aircraft or related equipment.

Microfluidic devices: Carclo has experience manufacturing microfluidic devices for the medical sector. While not explicitly for defense, this capability demonstrates proficiency in creating precise, small-scale devices, which could be adapted for defense-related applications such as sensors or diagnostic systems.

This is an AI response and could contain mistakes.

Doubt it's drones somehow, Testudo. No evidence either way.

But very interesting orders from 3 major defence contractors.

See rns

Some are delayed trades with stated price outside the range used to determine whether a buy or a sell.

Don't take the buy or sell indicator as fact.

What a shambles.

Disappointing that none of our new senior staff have bought any shares yet 😕

Prep, Just take a step back and look at yourself...

Please, for goodness sake, leave him alone.

Likely to be suspended for a fortnight or less.

I base that on the timing of this announcement about 10 days before the results were due.

Not the companies fault, except that they in all probability should have forseen this.

Last trade 11.33

If I were JM and planning to offload 1.7 million shares and there was absolutely no rush I would wait for the next announcement.

Can see there being a problem with that.

And 1.7 million as fyoz points out, the market can absorb that amount in a heartbeat. Jmo

18.35, sorry

Just gone through at 16.35
