Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

While a bit expensive at 28X earnings, we think there is potential here. The balance sheet is good, decent growth is still expected, and cash flow is solid. Investors are still absorbing the 'miss' in the third quarter, but we think the sector outlook is good and it has bounce potential this year.
