He started as interim CEO in 2017 and since early 2018 he was full time CEO. Looks like he survived the 5 years (2023) - i.e. next big milestone for him would be early 2028.

Maybe the recent trend (if it keeps) might help him, but yes - his optimism clearly exceeded his achievements. Maybe he should try himself as stock analyst?

Oh dear. Analysts predicted for full year a loss of 9 cents per share. Given that they lost already 7.4 cents in the first HY, I hope that the second HY will be better - with a smaller 2HY loss.

Clearly some light at the end of the tunnel? Lets hope FY 27 will be still better?

Gosh what a result. Forbar say sell and target price reduced to 50 cents.

Craig's say sell and target price reduced to 50 cents.

Craigs say "We expect STU will remain loss making in the near-term and we see significant risk in regard to the Group's B/S positioning."

Forbar say "Net debt continues to rise, reflecting operating losses partly offset by working capital management. This is not a sustainable position"

Just caught up with someone in the industry and a competitor of STU. Made the comment that things are not getting any better and in some cases are getting worse especially with the structural fabricators.

Made the comment that there is a lot of talk about STU surviving.

I quickly did the Altman Z Score on STU

Came out as -

Gray zone: The quality of the financial structure of the company is average. The payment behavior has to be monitored closely. Default risk is present but not major.

But not far off -

Bankruptcy Zone: The financial situation of the company is very deteriorated. A soon bankruptcy is very probable.
