Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of eyewear”, Inspecs Group (SPEC) has announced its results for the first half of the 2025 calendar year and that “the growth in our order books and increased cost savings are expected to deliver a stronger performance in the remainder of the year”. How do those compare to the valuation with a share price currently 7% lower in response at 40p?
Describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of eyewear”, Inspecs Group (SPEC) has announced results for the 2024 calendar year headlined “Focused on delivering operational efficiencies and strategic execution; introduction of medium term targets”. However, a focus on the “medium term” tends to mean the near term isn’t good and so what of the results announcement?
Describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of eyewear”, Inspecs Group (SPEC) has announced that Robin Totterman is to step down as Executive Chair of the board and that “the board has also determined that it will undertake a full review of its balance and composition. In undertaking that review, the board will take full account of generally accepted principles of good corporate governance”. Er, the group has been listed on AIM since 2020 though – so what of this?
Most recently on Inspecs Group (SPEC), describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of eyewear”, in June with the shares down towards 60p I questioned how likely really is its guidance to be met and concluded suggesting significant trading improvement would be needed to justify the valuation and to still avoid/sell. The shares most recently closed at 48.5p and what about now a “Trading Update”?
Describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of eyewear”, Inspecs Group (SPEC) has issued an AGM Statement concluding that its “guidance for the full year remains unchanged”. Why then a share price currently around 17% lower towards 60p?
Describing itself as “a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of eyewear”, Inspecs Group (SPEC) has announced results for the 2023 calendar year including noting that it “delivered record sales” and that “the progress that we have made in 2023 is now delivering increased distribution of our brands to both key accounts and our independent markets. Whilst consumer markets in Europe remain subdued, our businesses are continuing to perform well”. With the shares currently responding up to above 50p, just how well is it “continuing to perform”?
A “Full Year Trading Update” announcement today from eyewear group Inspecs (SPEC) seemingly should have been of little concern after an update three months ago noted “a solid trading performance… in line with our expectations… and, notwithstanding the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, with our current order book the board remains confident of delivering full year results in line with market expectations”. So what of a current share price down to 62.5p?
