newsflow in next few weeks24 Jan 2020 12:38
Nice to see a little rise here but back in June I was buying in the 90s in anticipation of good 2019 numbers (which were ok at £1.4m record profits) and despite good progress since we are over 20% lower (albeit HC sell off has clearly had a big impact).
In next week or so I expect the new category to be announced. If this includes some innovation, as has been mentioned, to create an USP this could be a great addition. Having SD support from day1 is clearly a big vote of confidence.
Also H1 numbers - based on £5m rev I would normally expect c£500k profit. However, as has been mentioned c£400k costs relate to new category so this will reduce this amount considerably. However, even a £78k profit is actually quite good as H1 last year we lost £422k - so a positive £500k swing. As IDP made £1.8m on £9m rev in H2 last year the £2m 2020 target looks very achievable.
