Revolution Bars Group has long term potential despite the current blip in performance

2018-12-10 01:37:09

Revolution Bars Group (RBG) is a company that caught my eye a while back, but at the time it was for the wrong reasons as I’d noticed that the share price seemed to be on a steady downwards trajectory. In terms of this, nothing has really changed and it has been making new lows around the 100p area, losing around a third of its value in the past year – which included a brief spike to around 175p in January. This is one where there could be an argument for waiting for the trend to turn positive, if indeed it does from here, but with the market cap back around the £50 million level I can see value in buying here...

However, an offer was voted down by shareholders and the shares have subsequently fallen back towards 150p before a Trading Update today…
