Ebiquity – trading performance far from reflected in current valuation, BUY
Earlier this month “media investment analysis” company Ebiquity (EBQ) issued a trading update which included “adjusted EBIT is expected to have increased by 31.0% to £12.0 million (2022: £9.2 million), reflecting the impact of cost management and a slightly higher margin business mix” and that it “expect to continue to make further profitable progress this year supported by our transformation programme, continued cost management and our growing Digital Media Solutions business”. We suggest such performance is far from reflected in a 40p per share offer price, £54.5 million market cap, and that the shares are a Buy.- By HotStockRockets |

CAP-XX – by ‘intended that the majority of placing proceeds are for working capital’, it actually means they are for it to avert being placed into administration!
Writing yesterday on CAP-XX (CPX), describing itself as “a leader in the design and manufacture of thin, flat supercapacitors and energy management systems” and with its shares up to 0.275p, I concluded that its financial position meant I wouldn’t want the risk of holding the shares.
