 From a valuation standpoint, Gattaca does look compelling, but let's cut through the noise and get real about what these numbers mean in context. 1. Massive Net Cash Position (85% of Market Cap, No Debt) This is a fortress balance sheet. It limits financial risk and provides flexibility for growth, but it also raises a question: Why hasn't the market priced this in? Is the cash being put to good use, or is management just hoarding it? 2. Retained Market Value at 140p, Currently at 80p If the stock is trading at such a deep discount to historical value, we have to ask: What's the market seeing that we aren't? Mispricing can happen, but sometimes, it's justified. 3. Revenue Growth of 9% Per Annum Solid but not explosive. It's decent compounding, but unless margins are expanding or they're reinvesting aggressively, this alone won't drive a rerating. 4. Consistent Dividend + Share Buybacks This signals confidence and shareholder-friendly management. However, buybacks only create value if the stock is genuinely undervalued-otherwise, it's just financial engineering. Final Thought: The numbers look strong, but valuation alone doesn't drive share prices-market sentiment and business momentum do. What's the catalyst that gets Gattaca out of the value trap? If this is purely a "cheap on paper" play with no clear growth driver, it could stay undervalued indefinitely. What's going to make investors wake up to it? |

Another soft set of numbers from the recruitment sector, the general message is the same as from its peers. Q3 Group NFI was £40.1m, down 5% year on year, Group continuing underlying profit before tax was down to £2.9m from FY23 restated: £3.7m. Weaker performance led to a halving of the Full year dividend to 2.5 pence per share. And the share price is down nearly 8% today to new lows for the year. The outlook also ...from WealthOracle

PBT ahead of market expectationRevenue 389m Net cash +£20.7m and no debt , mcap 25m dividend 2.5p |
Very much in keeping with the wider recruitment sector, but looks like a good attempt at dressing it up. The 33% year-on-year perm drop in NFI is pretty awful to say the least. |
FY Results in-line with revised expectations and positive signs of initial recovery in fee income.
No change to Equity Dev estimates and their cash is 70% of market cap: ED remains positive on prospects and retain a 140p / share fair value
