The unaudited results are bang on their forecasts as at the half yearlies, so there really shouldn’t be any surprises. Indeed, the quality of the business has improved substantially. Not all sales dollars are the same. Which would you prefer - a dollar from an impoverished African living in a war torn country or a dollar from an American, government funded essential services entity?

It’s pretty hard to top their acquisitions into communications. CDA as a sole product focused detection business would be a basket case in todays geopolitical world and the immediate future is cloudy as well with the Wagner group re-entering Africa.

@lankypom and @Solvetheriddle I see the update as positive as it is above the outlook provided at the half year results.

Minelab results anticipated to be fairly flat with 1H23 and 10 to 15% revenue growth over 1H23 in Communications.

In my model this result is about 10% above my forecast.

@lankypom @Solvetheriddle @Byrnesty Looking at the analyst forecasts on Simply Wall Street, the consensus earnings for FY23 is $63.6M. In the trading update underlying earnings are expected to be c. $65M slightly higher than consensus.The announcement should not be a surprise to the market, and hopefully the 35% drop compared to FY22 earnings has already been factored into the share price. Having said that, anything could happen from here!
