Zotefoams
HOLDHigh performance foam maker Zotefoams (ZTF) is thinking of putting a factory in southern China after lifting first-half pre-tax profits 12% to £3.28m. The fully-listed company increased turnover, 10% to nearly £22m, three quarters of it exported, in the six months to June and succeeded in passing on polymer and other raw material cost rises in the region of 25%.
Currently building up a strong pipeline of new products, some at an early stage, Zotefoams upped its stake of MuCell Extrusion from 30% to 100% at a cost of $7.5m (£4.7m), $4m paid immediately, with the rest payable by next July. With cash of £3.8m, chairman Nigel Howard says the forward order book looks good.
Recommended by Growth Company Investor at 59p last year, Zotefoam shares now trade at 147p, yielding some 3%. Hold on.
Market cap: £59m
PE Forecast: 14.9
Share price: 147p
