No, how would a single trade depress the price? I sold 200k at 16:29, they were reported when they were reported. Nobody knew beforehand, so how could the single sale depress the price? Are you overthinking?

How much more contingent consideration is due on those two eye ware purchases made a few years ago, is this the reason for the share price weakness.

Peel Hunt: Inspecs’ turnaround in focus
Eyewear supplier Inspecs is seeing a turnaround after a difficult start to the year.

Analyst Charles Hall reiterated his ‘add’ recommendation and target price of 100p on the stock, which gained 4.4% to 54.3p on Tuesday, but the shares have still lost a third of their value since the beginning of the year. H1 results were as expected, with numbers lower than the previous year; sales down 5.2% and earnings at £10.1m versus £12.1m. However, the outlook was improved and sales in the H2 have been ahead of last year so far. Hall was also pleased by the ‘positive surprise’ on net debt which was £4.4m lower than forecast and ‘we expect further improvement in the full year’.

He said the group was ‘turning a corner’ after a ‘soft start to the year, with tough comps, and a weak consumer market’. Sales momentum has been improving, costs have reduced, and net debt is materially lower,’ he said. The board is also confident about meeting full-year market expectations despite background markets remaining challenging. ‘The company has improved sales momentum, with additional capacity coming on-stream and higher gross margins,’ Hall said.

"#SPECS eye-opening net debt drop of £4.4m despite £4m of fit out/capex spend in H1. H2 promises acceleration . Promising commentary on the smart glasses. Downing seem to share my enthusiasm and have been big buyers. Look forward to speaking this am"

SCSW retains a very positive view andat a market cap of circa £53m this is way unvalued.
Just ignore that pathetic troll Forest1987/resurrect123 who is obviously just a moronic former employee who was sacked or a discarded ex-supplier - he is obviously just a very sad individual.

I thought the last financials in April were ok, they showed a swing from loss to profit, and plenty of potential new sales coming on stream in 2024 to support a turnaround. If tomorrow’s financials show continuation of recovery the price will rise and I’ll add more shares, if they swing back to a HY loss the price will fall and I’ll cut at a small loss, it’s a red or black situation.


Financial Highlights
· Group revenue of £203.3m (2022: £201.0m)
· Group revenue on a constant exchange rate basis1 of £200.7m (2022: £201.0m)
· Gross profit up 4.7% to £103.5m (2022: £98.9m)
· Adjusted Underlying EBITDA1 up 16.1% to £18.0m (2022: £15.5m)
· Profit before tax of £0.2m (2022: loss before tax £7.7m)
· Net debt excluding leasing reduced by £3.4m to £24.2m (2022: £27.6m)
· Cash flows from operating activities up £7.0m to £16.9m (2022: £9.9m)

· Launch of leading brand into major global retailer delivered in 2023, with a store roll out in April 2024
· O'Neill and our sustainable proprietary-brand Botaniq secured for increased distribution into global travel retail markets

Bargain hunters about. Guidance for the year unchanged and Peel Hunt have retained their 100p price target yet the share price dropped over 20% following the AGM statement.

I am recently again a shareholder of spec and the truth is I doubt the private investors on any of these threads will make a difference to the share price.My point is why are people so desperate for attention they feel the need to do it.If it does have a positive affect then I stand to gain

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.

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.
