Great question TMatt

Well yes an interview of sorts is of course better than not bothering at all. I wouldn't like to discourage the BoD from engaing with investors especially where they do so in a PI friendly way. Results look Ok. I am focusing on recent trading and outlook more than H1 2020 which were obviously disrupted (although profitability wise very tidy given the circumstances). Factory on track and divi safe so good news for holders there I think. I am tempted to ask the question (since no-one else has beat me to it) What do you think of the deal? (insert italian accent) You Laica the deal? You no laica the deal? My view is that the price is reasonable but as ever, growth profile has to considered into any EV/ EBITDA calulation. In this instance i believe that it will be STRIX which aids Laica brands to grow and that therefore we could see that growth rate as fairly siginificant given the additional reach that the Strix network has over the present Laica one. I think their products are surprisingly varied. I'd guess the water filtration is the significant bit for management? Italian legal system not the quickest. Hopefully this gets tied down on schedule. I note CEO is to stay on for some time. This looks useful given that it has such a low employee count (which rather infers that the CEO is somewhat key). One final thing. I think with the uncertainties in global trade these days. One foot in the IoM, one foot in China, and hand in the EU are all useful diversifications.

fwiw (not a lot as he reads a script saying little new) this is the link: hTtps://www.directorstalk.net/strix-group-seeks-to-enhance-its-position-with-conditional-acquisition-of-laica-interview/

Yes trident, that's what I discovered when I finally got round to listening to it. Wish I hadn't bothered struggling to paste the link now. However the new acquisition does appear to be a good fit with Strix.

Featured in today's Investor's Champion update: While Strix appears to stretch its debt, cash flow appears supportive and period end net debt only equated to 1.08 times trailing twelve months' EBITDA, will within covenants of 2.50 times.

It's not a real interview though - he's just reading from a script. Very stilted and full of BS management speak.

try this instead www.directorstalk.net/strix-group-seeks-to-enhance-its-position-with-conditional-acquisition-of-laica-interview/

ADVFN do not like us using other sites so corrupt links by altering the http bit. Simply enter it in capital letters or use the shorter www. version.

[egrid1] 23/9/2020 13:28

Seems that ADVFN may have update to prevent the link, as I cannot get it to link properly either.

[harris tweed] 23/9/2020 13:21

Thanks FarnesBarnes for that help...but it still won't display even with the tt's replaced with TT's. Anyway, I expect anyone interested can find the interview.

[farnesbarnes] 23/9/2020 13:14

Hi Mr Tweed If you paste https into advfn, the lower case t's become x's. If you change the lower case t's to capital T's, the link works.

Come 8am tomorrow, all the guys who have topped up could look very wise

[egrid1] 21/9/2020 14:29

So you confirm my thinking - just Mr Market having a bad day for Strix compared to rest of the market... that is why I topped up.

[farnesbarnes] 21/9/2020 14:04

If the overall market is headed down, most stock will go south. GAW, AVON, $APPS, VLG, the lot. SPX is looking like 3200 is coming, but could easily rally into the elections from there. But by the same token 2500. You don't have to place to your bets right now though.

[farnesbarnes] 21/9/2020 13:47

Because prices fluctuate more than values.

[egrid1] 21/9/2020 13:40

Aim is down 2.3%, Strix down 8.72% at time of writing... Any reason why Strix is down 6.5% more than market?

[farnesbarnes] 21/9/2020 13:00

rik that can't be. Strix should only go one way, right? 225/210/200/190 support levels.

[rik shaw] 21/9/2020 12:54

The whole market is down
