All 3 divisions of the business saw huge improvements and with the Energy transition still in the early stages and GNP able to bid for an execute profitably on multiple projects, plus have an increasing fraction of revenue coming from maintenance as evidenced by the above graph, the future continues to look good.

I calculate

Net profit margin is 4.7% - about standard for the industry they operate in

ROE of 25.2%

The SP is up ~15% in early trade producing a PE ratio of ~25 with isn't too onerous given how full the order book is.

GNP is my largest holding outside of super and is now an outsized 25% of that portfolio. I am happy to keep it that size as my confidence in their future is high.

Couldn't agree more @Chagsy - GNP just keeps on getting the job done. I share your confidence levels, and will be looking to increase my holding over time.

Relative to some businesses we discuss here, it's relatively boring (to me, at least), but there's something to be said for a (relatively) boring business that just keeps delivering.

Thanks @Clio

several years ago there was a real risk of indigestion from a relatively large acquisition or two on the East Coast. That risk is very much in the rear view mirror now. They continue to add small bolt ons to gain a competency or skill set they lack to be a complete engineering and maintenance solution - primarily for the grid upgrade - but also other verticals. So far so good

The only concern I have is the size of the beast now. I suspect it will be increasingly difficult to keep tabs on all the moving parts. There is no sign of that as yet but that, along with a large, ill-considered acquisitions are my major concerns. They are sitting on a large pile of cash and have a debt facility too, so it’s not inconceivable, but to date capital allocation and execution has been pretty much faultless.

fingers crossed!

EDIT - spelling
