Risk here is further lockdowns impacting margins.

Bought a small amount this morning.

Major potential (short term) risk is any further lock downs, which would prove very costly.

Longer term the current price looks reasonable(ish).

If wider equity markets were to sell off again, this can easily trade below £2 imv.

I'm not keen on buybacks. They rarely improve the share price. A juicy dividend has a far greater impact in my opinion. Current situation suggests they might be better using the funds to get discounts from suppliers for immediate payment or other methods of improving profit.
