This model assumes 30% earnings growth for 3 years after 2006 and then stagnation
Average earnings 2007-2011: £3.56m
Value = 4.36 + (5*3.56) = £21.9m
Value per share: 16p
Assumptions:
- Exchange rate for HKD as on 18/12/06
- No dividends
- Constant number of shares
This is a very basic model, but we can see that neglecting the intangible assets, patents, improvement in margins a buyer now would see payback in less than 5 years. This is IGNORING increase in capacity to meet demand from overseas. If they increase capacity like SOLA did to meet demand, this could explode.
There aren't many shares on AIM at the moment that realise value in less than 5 years using my model!
