I don't expect much or anything positive at all. I mean not in such a short period of time. From the RNS "Clear plans have been put in place to rectify the issues during the remainder of the year and potentially into Q1 2025, including root cause corrective actions, improved factory planning and factory layout, however, these are not expected to sufficiently mitigate the impact in FY24.
Furthermore, over the course of August and so far in September whilst overall order intake has continued to be positive, the order intake for execution in 2024 in our higher margin components business has been materially weaker than anticipated with the orders received in Q3 more weighted for delivery in 2025, and recovery is slow and steady." And there's more in the RNS where they talk about improvements at the begining of 2025. So I'm quite sceptical about any quick fix. I'm expecting it to do well in 2025 though.
