Hard to get excited about this stock with this kind of news!
more big competition
more competition with the arrival of cut-price operator Bargain Chemist

Good points. GXH has some strategic advantages with their acquisition of general practises, real estate and locations.
Feel it is currently relatively undervalued yet there is additional pressure
The company is proactive and needs to keep up with the competition or outperform in service and convenience.
A fast growing market with a bigger population base and more and more out of the box demand for personally solvable health issues.
Had myself my first over 100% RIO with this one some years ago. Was a great performer. Feel that cycle is coming close to potential again.
Good divi stock at this price with a big upswing potential in share price increase.
Disc. Hold small parcel
Hmm - don't follow them that close, but why would the appointment of an interim CFO be marked as "price sensitive"?

This guy that good - or that bad? He seems to have a history with GFX, which probably is good. However - just wondering - given he worked as well with Evolve Education, maybe he is deemed as too experienced in processing red numbers?
Good point BP.
IMO it is showing credibility and ability to manage the current situation.
Some reporting due in the next week. Divi date Mid June. Paid towards end of June.
Let's hope there's some good news in there. Plenty of scope for pharmacy and medical. Online store and home delivery options.
Disc. Holding small parcel. 👌

GXH Annual Report Out.
Result summary
• Revenue of $567m (+5.6%)
• EBITDA at $36.9m (+2.3%)
• Operating Profit $29.4m (-2.2%)
• Net Profit after Tax Attributable to the Parent Shareholders
of $16.1m (+3.2%)
• Pharmacy Revenue flat at $340m, Operating Profit down 5.5% at $27.3m
on the back of a record low cold and flu winter season and a decline in
gross margin as the company responded to competitive pressures
• Medical performed strongly with Revenue up 33.8% and Operating
Profit up 20.4% to $4.4m driven by an increase in enrolled patient
numbers from organic growth and selective acquisitions
• Community Health Revenue up 9.3% but Operating Profit $0.1m (down
$1.1m) as the division continues to struggle with under-funding from
various legislative changes
• Operating Cash Flow $29.5m (down $3.7m)
• Net Debt $32.5m (reduction of $6.0m)
Long term I believe this business has many more opportunities for growth. I am in favour of their direction with medical centre operations. Aware the pharmacy side is taking a slower growth path due to competition, yet they could grow in online sales themselves if they were to increase their focus in this area.
Reasonable divi 👌
