yes...somewhere here (150-200p) may end up being the bottom of this relatively severe dip...caused by results that were a curate's egg imv..
...an sp of 150/EV around £100m would look cheap on earnings for a growing well managed company with EBIT of £12-18m (wide range cos the results were messy, in particular ongoing spend on intangibles and amortisation pretty high)
....but not cheap rel to fcf (reminiscent of gbo)...so we have to believe in the market opportunity and trust management to invest wisely
...in particular, the cf looked weak (and can anyone explain/reconcile the WC numbers in the cf with the b/s lol?...I am not an accountant, and sometimes the presentation of the figures just makes me scratch my chin more than usual)
...but Hanover (despite selling down in January to free carry is still heavily incentived...not least through juicy/?greedy isp3 to drive value sp up to £4-5)..and the growth story remains in play
