Roger Montgomery’s ValueLine column for Alan Kohler’s Eurkea Report was a favourite this year. In August he investigated Matrix Engineering, a company that has tripled in value this year and whose shares almost doubled since his article was published. Montgomery liked the look of the annual report figures from the specialist mining services provider (revenue of $102 million and profits of $18.2 million) and thought that revenue could double over the next 12 months, though profit will depend on the level of increased production from a new $29 million facility in WA and currency movements. He bought them, at $3.42 but valued them at $6.05–9.00. Matrix closed December 23 at $6.33, an increase of 85.09%. Great call, Roger. |
