Thought this was a strong 1H result with EPS up 8.7% and EPSA at $0.133 and net cash. FCF of $18.3M but looked like $19.7M (Normalizing for borrowings (net cash before acquisition). Say $20M or $40M annualised roughly.

Market obviously disappointed with the impact of powercloud on margins in the first year - short sighted assuming HSN continues their track record with integrating acquisitions and margins recover.

FY25 if we HSN gets to annualized $430M revenue and margins recover to 28% = EBITDA of $120M. Would be net cash then too i imagine again - against current market cap of ~$1B for a sticky company.

Still wish they'd stop with the partially franked dividend. Pay out the franking credits and keep the rest for acquisitions or buybacks.

Anyway happy to hold but guess have to wait 12 months before any significant rerate now. Any rate cut and imagine would look attractive. Imagine there'll be another acquisition soon enough. Always the possibility of a takeover offer too again at some point if it stays around here.
