It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.1x net interest cover). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.0% net profit margin).Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 22Now 20% undervalued after recent price dropOver the last 90 days, the stock has fallen 35% to UK£3.31. The fair value is estimated to be UK£4.14, however this is not to be taken as a buy recommendation but rather should be used as a guide only. Revenue has grown by 15% over the last 3 years.

One-off items were 28% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.1x net interest cover). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New Risk • May 22New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.1x net interest cover). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.0% net profit margin).
Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 22Now 20% undervalued after recent price dropOver the last 90 days, the stock has fallen 35% to UK£3.31.

Meanwhile, the company has become profitable. For the next 3 years, revenue is forecast to grow by 5.0% per annum. Earnings are also forecast to grow by 67% per annum over the same time period.

New Risk • Mar 24New minor risk - Earnings qualityThe company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 28% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.1x net interest cover). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (UK£2.4m sold).
