Personally, I think this is worth over a quid (m/c £60m+), but it will take time.

Anyway, it's been written up again by the IC's Simon Thompson as a hold. Voila:

This tech stock has an ambitious plan to double profits

2024 revenue down 24 per cent to $86.7mn

• Adjusted pre-tax profit drops 67 per cent to $4.8mn

• Record net cash of $29.1mn

• Dividend per share hiked from 3.3p to 3.7p

The new management team at Nexteq (NXQ:63p), a technology design and supply chain partner, has outlined an ambitious three-year growth plan after a tumultuous 2024 that saw the exit of its chief executive, finance director and chair.

Profits headed the wrong way, too, due to softer demand across the group’s gaming, medical, broadcast and industrial markets. This was caused by industry destocking, customers delaying projects, and a more challenging economic environment.

The new board aims to stabilise the business in the current financial year by focusing on strong customer relationships, winning and integrating new customers, and diversifying revenue streams to deliver growth from 2026. Its three-year plan envisages increasing revenue to $108mn-$120mn on a cash profit margin of 10-15 per cent by 2027 through organic growth (increased software capabilities, cross-selling opportunities and enhanced product suite) and complementary acquisitions. If successful, operating profit would more than double to $7.2mn and drive up earnings per share (EPS) by 80 per cent to 9¢ (7p), albeit that would still be half the record earnings set in the 2023 financial year.

To achieve its growth plans, Nexteq’s management is looking to double (from 10 to 20) the number of strategic customers with $1mn of annual revenue, secure a 10 per cent market share in Brazil following the legalisation of gaming, launch new gaming software and make bolt-on acquisitions to accelerate growth in new target markets. Three acquisitions have been identified, including one in the broadcast space that will focus on new technology and access to new global customers and sales channels, and another in the medical segment that will integrate Nexteq’s business further up the medical supply chain.

The board is also committed to a progressive dividend policy, having hiked the 2024 payout per share by 12 per cent to 3.7p. House broker Cavendish predicts a 4.2p-a-share dividend this year at a cash cost of £2.5mn, which is comfortably covered by forecast free cash flow of $4mn (£3.1mn). On this basis, the shares offer a forward dividend yield of 6.7 per cent.

True, the shares are underwater if you bought them in my 2024 Bargain Shares Portfolio as I noted in last month’s portfolio review. However, net cash accounts for 60 per cent of the group’s market capitalisation, so the business is effectively in the price for only six times depressed operating profit. It may take time, but the shares have recovery potential. Hold.

...The Board therefore intends to utilise up to its full authority to purchase up to 10% of the Group's Issued Share Capital, equating to the purchase of up to a further 6,475,634 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Group, taking into account the 178,272 Ordinary Shares purchased to date. The Extended Buy Back will return up to £6.5 million to shareholders (the "Maximum Amount").

I bought a few just above and just below 80p FWIW - for the obvious reasons of balance sheet strength and recovery potential. Fortunately, I hadn't bought previously.

I notice Simon T has just reiterated his stance saying there are "Four reasons to hold Nexteq despite its profit warning....

"First, each of the directors will continue in their current roles until their successors have been identified to facilitate, so there will be an orderly handover of responsibility.

Second, the collapse in the share price means that the group is an obvious bid target. Net cash of $36.9mn accounts for more than half its market capitalisation of £54mn ($67.5mn), so effectively Nexteq is now being valued on less than three times downgraded cash profit estimates of $11mn to enterprise valuation of $30.6mn. Forecast free cash flow (FCF) of $13mn (2024) and $7.5mn (2025) underpin FCF yields of 19.3 per cent and 11.1 per cent, respectively.

Third, with cash building and last year’s dividend per share of 3.3p covered 2.6 times by analysts’ downgraded EPS estimates of 11c (8.5p) for both the 2024 and 2025 financial years, then shareholders can realistically expect the progressive dividend policy to continue. The shares offer prospective dividend yields of 4.6 per cent (2024) and 4.9 per cent (2025).

Fourth, there is scope for new management to deploy the cash pile on earnings accretive acquisitions to mitigate some of the shortfall in profits next year.

So, although today’s bombshell is unwelcome, once the dust settles the shares have recovery potential. Hold."

There is not really any value in the share buyback for investors. They will be held in treasury for directors awards. So the share buyback is for selfish reasons and this should be a reflection on the management. No effect on price as no less shares in issue. This company only intends to reward itself. A special dividend would have give all shareholders a fair part of the distribution. The shine is off it for me. Selling into the next rally. If there is one.

Would prefer a tender offer to a dividend, given the low share price.

That would explain the big fall at the end of last year. Their chosen broker likely has 10% in stock purchased at knock down prices to sell back to the company at a nice profit. Thought the steep fall and rapid recovery was odd but now all is clear. Anyhow good news for those who weathered it and hopefully the price can rise after this buyback is complete.

Mr Jayal if the share price doesn't react to this news , it's an incredible opportunity for the company to start buying back its own shares . It's not an admission of defeat or a sign of lack of ambition . When your shares trade this cheaply and you have a big cash pile it's just the best way to create shareholder value . There is no chance of finding a decent sized acquisition at a better valuation (adjusted for cash )than Nexteq's own shares

They've been dribbling down on no volume forever, with the market makers walking down the price until they find buyers (and there don't seem to be any!)Wait too long though and if there is an ok statement, you won't be able to buy any stock.There's the dilemma!

Worth noting the fall in GBP/USD a good tailwind for NXQ as a lot of costs in GBP and revenues in USD
