$IMB.AX

Approximately $6 million of the $12 million in refinancing costs relates to the PIK component of the previous debt facility, so this should have been anticipated. However, $6 million in additional refinancing costs remains materially high.

The overall tone...

1/2 Good quarter by $KLNG. Consistent messaging across 10-K, PR, and call. Strong order book, limited tariff impact.

“While we celebrate the results from 2024, we are very excited for our future. In 2025, our team will remain focused on growing the company and delivering on our...

$NOW.V An incredibly strong earnings call in every imaginable aspect. A few key takeaways you won’t find in the financial statements:

– Cross-selling efforts are progressing well
– No capital raise planned
– Positive discussions around alternative financing options, if needed

2/2 Just keep in mind these are my unaudited returns—so I’m likely down about 20% year-to-date.

Mark Brission bought another 50,000 shares of #$IMB.AX, #IMB.AX bringing his total purchases to 100,000 shares over the last three days.

It looks like the company's shares will soon be held exclusively by institutions and insiders.

$IMB.AX Another 5 million shares for MAF. Now, 60% is in the hands of the three biggest institutional investors. At some point, Black Crane will have to sell down if IMB really wants to get into the ASX.

$IVFH As expected, revenue improved significantly due to the cheese business, but margins are still affected by the ramp-up. I have a few questions for the call

- DTC sales soared 365% in 2024, reaching $1.84M in Q4

$IVFH expands into airline catering with a first-class cheese program for a major international airline, expecting ~$700K in first-year revenue.

Doesn’t seem like much, but all these small steps can eventually build a big company while leveraging their existing assets.

$COV.V In line with my expectations, but too early to get back in, in my opinion, if we take everything at face value without further comments.

Currently no position.

4/4... recent acquisitions and their locations. They were, in my opinion, more about the people than the technology or anything else.

Also, take a look at their...

1/4 After receiving several questions about the announced #$IMB.AX acquisition, I want to share a few brief thoughts:

Yes, the recurring revenue portion is small, but that’s not the focus of their current plans. They aren’t looking to acquire recurring revenues. The industry is...

Die Buchung des "Other comprenhensive income" würde dann Sinn ergeben, wenn die Earnouts mit Equity abgedeckt werden.
