Writing on online prize competitions company Best of the Best (BOTBin May with the shares at 2775p I noted house broker finnCap’s forecasts of earnings per share of more than 143p for the just commenced year and 165.5p for the year after that compared to 37.5p for the company’s year ended 30th April 2020 and that there has surely been lockdown benefit to it in the subsequent period (last year’s earnings per share 122.5p), stating concern on the sustainability of some of the recent earnings. Today there has been a “Trading Update” – and the shares have collapsed to 830p!
