gp - more Toryfart Russophobia IMO.
Putin has been the most reasonable of players in this US-led proxy war.

CasholaaYou need to understand the ballistic testing process before you make a statement like that.Having spoken to the old CEO AND THE TEAM involved in the pre-testing your statement does the company an injustice.Hundreds of plates passed all tests but one failed a tumbling round where it did not pass through the plate but broke the inner surface.No one from Avon was allowed to view the tests of ask for a retest, it was a closed door test.The error in my mind was pulling the plug

Times

The tale of the Avon Protection bullet-proof vests that turned out to be only mostly bullet-proof may live long in the minds of investors appraising the listed business that otherwise makes helmets for the US military and gas masks and respiratory equipment for customers worldwide (Robert Lea writes).

The fiasco of Avon’s faulty body armour is told in the company’s share graph, with the stock price nearly quadrupling in the matter of a year to a high of more than £43 in the second half of 2020. Within another year, the company had lost 80 per cent of its value.
However, the technology failure was symptomatic of wider failings in the business and Avon’s management was moved on. For the past year, the Wiltshire-based company has been in turnaround mode under Jos Sclater, its new chief executive, whose recent bona fides include Ultra Electronics, Castrol Lubricants and GKN.

Its latest announcement is of a contract understood to be worth double-figure millions of euros to supply state-of-the-art, ten-years-in-development underwater breathing equipment to allow German naval divers to, among other things, clear mines on missions at 100 metres deep lasting four to six hours. The contract is strategically and financially valuable and may yet be the precursor to a far larger deal with the US navy. More importantly, it is a reminder that Avon has strong proprietary technology and sells to significant customers.
Avon’s stock has been pretty much flat at a time when so many other defence stocks have shot up like a Tomahawk missile during the conflicts of the past two years. Investors who want to hear the story will be reminded at a capital markets day early next month of Avon’s capability and what Sclater has done to shake up the company.

Avon is a business that has annual sales of about $250 million and it plans to nearly double margins to up to 16 per cent. If it can be forgiven for past failings, then it may be worth donning the tin hat once more.

Advice: Buy

Why? A turnaround situation in good markets with good product.

value king,

Sorry, only just seen your #1072. I suppose I may be unfairly jaundiced. I've held Avon since April 2002 through its period of transformation from principally rubber products through to the 'protection' business we have today. It was acquired as a 'Low PER/High yield' stock principally for income. Management didn't handle the transformation that well and everything from introducing new products to setting up new production facilities in the US always seemed to be behind the curve with delays and problems. They got there in the end, of course and the share price got up to over £40 (so with 10,000 shares acquired in 2002 I suppose I shouldn't complain!) but then came the disaster of the acquisition of the bulletproof vests from 3M - one of the greatest destructions of value I've seen (though Hewlett Packard may beg to differ!). Yes, we have now had a change of all the senior management involved at that time, but with nobody taking responsibility and no great sense of urgency. Let's hope that the new incumbents herald a change of management culture, not just new faces.
