Zenova – announces “restocking order… driven by strong interest from end customers”. Attempted ramptastic?

By Steve Moore | Monday 16 December 2024

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Describing itself as “a leading innovator in fire suppression and temperature management solutions”, Zenova Group (ZED) has issued a “pleased to announce… restocking order”, emphasising that it “is driven by strong customer demand and reflects a consistent pattern of re-orders for Zenova's paint products, with restocking taking place at least every six months”. So what of a current muted share price response at 0.55p?
