Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX:VGL) is pleased to announce the appointment of Stuart Dickinson as Vista Group’s new Chief Executive Officer with effect from 11 April 2023. Stuart Dickinson will take over from Kimbal Riley who, after five years as Chief Executive Officer, is retiring from the role.
And today another quite significant revenue guidance update for FY22 (to 31 Dec) from August (#534 above) and confirmation of a trade agreement with Cineworld group currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with the consequence that some related existing provisions can be released, as payment will be made. I bet Kimbal Riley was pleased to be able to do that before moving on!
While the situation in China for movie attendances will obviously take time to stabilise given the outbreak, VGL definitely doesn't appear to be "dead in the water" across all jurisdictions as was the case when the pandemic took hold and there are green shoots appearing.
Hey everyone.
I had the luck of catching covid last week so has a little bit of spare time on my hands looking for company's which show some promise.
I came across vista as its taking a few dives since 2016 2017. Looked over a few things and now I'm wondering why in all honesty is this so low. I come up with $2.95 off the back of its latest revenue guidence. Wondering if anyone else had looked into this as it doesn't stack up.
Some company's took a great hit including this one because if covid but this is showing great signs of a recovery. I'm thinking way oversold. Opinions 😁.....
I put VGL in as one of my five picks for the 2023 Sharetrader Competition, and after the first fortnight I am in 210th place out of 211 entered.
So I hope it gets some legs from this point as I only included shares I actually hold. That said, it isn't delivering just now, but I believe my ranking will be higher next time the competition list is updated despite also including TWR as a pick!
Looking at this now I kinda wish I had put it in the stock picks. But anyway I've put money in instead.
Looks like alot on sharetrader have fallen out of love with this stock that may have held in the past. Look forward to results in March. They increased guidence twice since their last results so looks like a great turn around.
Last day before results tomorrow. Looking forward to this one. My last of my stock results to come out. Looking forward to this one.
