RE: Buys not Sells25 May 2017 01:10
Agree re profit-taking will happen along the way, but I also do think with the way news flow is now lined up for rest on 2017, the selling will be soaked up by the market. Although, I am naturally an optimistic and positive-minded individual.
I have a decent amount that will be held into next year.
A good point you raise is around profit margins. This is key IMO. I have no doubts about the growth trajectory here in terms of revenues. However, while we know Gross Profits is over 50%, we dont yet really know NET profit margins. I feel IDP need to demonstrate Net profit margins between 5 and 10%.
As they go forward, Net Profit should increase since customer acquistions are where most of the spend will likely be spent. Once they have the customer acquired, I would like to think that some of the GP should transfer across to Net Profits and so with that, we should see growth in SP as the business grows and with that Net Profit.
Out of curiosity, what did you forecast for the end of year sales?
