Well Shrewd_n_Sharp is a rather arrogant username and your language suggests that Emotional_n_Selfrighteous might be more appropriate. "

"Dan, as a very recent poster here you clearly don't understand the SPEC share price valuation despite your very patronizing comments to everyone"

Sounds like you just like brushing everyone up the wrong way and you are being equally patronising. Why bring Hvivo into it?, I'll continue to comment against analysis and this stock thanks very much for your concern

It is perfectly reasonable to point out that operating cash flow is never free cash flow and that is a ridiculous definition. You can not ignore lease repayments if you are ignoring leases in your EV.

Yep, aggressive and patronizing comments are so pointless. There are a million ways to value a business, there is no right or wrong, just opinions.

I think valuing a business on price to earnings when the market cap doesn't account for cash / debt is pretty daft. And no, small cap stocks are not efficiently valued as they are highly sentiment driven.

EV/EBITDA or EV/FCF make more sense to me, what you decide to include or exclude from those calculations is debateable.

Deducting total CAPEX from operating FCF doesn't make sense if that CAPEX is discretionary, which £3.5m of SPEC's is, as it relates to construction costs for their Vietnam factory.

Likewise with interest expense of £4m, if a large buyer took them over and paid off the £44m bank debt then FCF would improve by £4m overnight, so again you can debate whether or not that should be included or excluded from calcs.

It's not black and white, otherwise there wouldn't be a market!

Dan, as a very recent poster here you clearly don't understand the SPEC share price valuation despite your very patronizing comments to everyone. Why don't you just stick to ramping HVO instead.

You think this should trade at 20x p/e with that debt burden and this quality of management team? And when we find out after the event about grand vision, there is still superdry and ted baker exposure?

I'm not surprised the market does not share your view

10x p/e is fair until they actually deliver. They did a huge warning in January where they cut broker profit forecasts by a third and trading in line with that lowered bar is not impressive.

John just talks rubbish all the time, look at this SFOR post. Get in the bin

I think FOMO may kick in. Cant believe peopke can buy this in the 60 pence range when it was 900p"

Totally disagree. I'd say worth £100m so double share price £1/share

I know the share price is about to go under its recent low

I don’t know how important SDRY was for SPEC, unlikely as they sell in to many end markets globally, and have not really mentioned SDRY in the last few statements, but Europe a big market for SPEC. Look at German economy, not exactly booming on the consumer front. This will bounce back in time, spectacles a huge and growing market, let’s hope they can batten down the hatches. Might attract a bid, Totterman a big holder and he may well cut and run!

regarding superdry, the admission doc said that the 5-year licence went until 2023 and it also says they typically aim to renew the licence 12-24 months before expiry. so you would expect it to have been renewed maybe, but this not certain.
more generally, i think that Downing Strategic Micro cap is an ongoing seller. they said recently that they aim to wind the whole fund down by the end of H1 2024. When you look at their SPEC position in late Nov 23 vs end of Dec 23, it has reduced by c. 500k shares, I think. They still have roughly 1m shares to go I think. So that is no doubt not helping at the moment in the absence of buyers and they're not finished yet. But this purely them winding their whole fund down and not really a reflection on SPEC.
