Stock price when the opinion was issued
In addition to the recent acquisition, which investors seem to love, the company came out with preliminary numbers for 2022.
Sales rose 15%+, EBITDA rose 41%+ and more important debt declined 35%.
The management team (33% ownership) has done a very good job improving profitability during a rough macro environment.
This is still a management bet here.
But they have made us lots of money on past ventures (when we could buy Canadian stocks) and we would still be OK investing with them, for very high risk investors (it is still a small company with lots of debt).

These results were mostly pre-released in February and our comments in the link still apply.
Debt is going down, growth has accelerated and it is becoming highly profitable.
It took a while, but the highly committed management team (which we like) is starting to put things together nicely here and the new acquisition should keep momentum going in the medium term.

Owns shares in this business. Printing business that has been around for a long time. Did some M&A about 1 year ago that is going well. Business has doubled the past year. Printing business is not a growth industry - but digital asset management business growing. Good for a short term trade - not a long term hold.
Small player in packaging, did large acquisition last year. Growing quickly. Very cheap. If you need to own something in the space, look at this name.
