RE: PIM Growth Potential - Advice28 Feb 2015 12:34
Bull points
1/. Check out the CEO and Chairman's history. Their roots are top jobs at Multi billion pound agrochems. They chose to join PIm , a £25million minnow. Brubaker has done everything he set out to do 3 years ago. Someone to have faith in
2/. Last two placings have been at prevailing SP, no discount, great signpost.
3/. The relationship with Bayer is transformational. No more door knocking but proper roots to market with a top class partner
4/. look at the latest article on proactive investors which references new products for soya and new products for wheat. don't expect new product launch for at least 2 years but from then on we could see new products every year or two as results from r&d investment come through.
Broad acre products are the key as the applicable market is massive. veritas is a real winner product
bear points
1/. Personally, I do not expect Ametros to do brilliantly this season. The apple market has collapsed with over supply caused by trade sanctions between Russia and Europe. I can't see farmers dropping money on a product which, atm, is barely worth harvesting. Time will tell here, atm, they say they are trading in line..
2/. you never know when another company will come up with a wizz bang product…it is not something I worry about unduly , not something I can really monitor
3/. i imagine a lot of retail investors will have sold out/taken profit over the past 6 months. i have sold down half of my holding( been here for over 6 years) but will hold the rest now and watch the story unfold.
