The group’s potentially game-changing Improved Harness Technology™ (IHT) flexible printed circuit technology offers a substantial growth opportunity as a replacement for the traditional wire harnesses currently used in a range of large-scale markets. The group’s year-end trading update highlighted some specific short-term challenges and weaker market conditions in its RF business, while we feel 2020 should see a strong uptick in activity particularly for IHT. As the investment proposition is based on the success of the IHT, the low share price is a golden opportunity, in our view. Our near-term 180p price target offers significant upside, with much greater rewards possible as contract awards occur.

The company has announced its trading update covering its Q3 and Q4 to date. Since its last announcement in November, it has seen market conditions become more challenging and is now guiding FY20 forecasts to the lower end of market expectations. As such, we reduce our FY20 adjusted PBT estimate from £20.3m to £18.2m, with a 10.3% reduction in EPS to 11.3p, with a volatile FY21 outlook.
