Vulcan ASM today

• Reaffirming FY23 EBITDA guidance of NZ$215m - NZ$235m (compared with NZ$243m recorded in FY22)

So ebitda could be 12% less than last year

Start of tougher times over next year or two

I see that the share price at the moment isn't that far above the IPO price

At least as they proudly pointed out at the ASM those who got at IPO price got a dividend with a 11.6%

.... and share price done well - VSL share price: +31% vs Peer & +11% vs S&P/ASX 300 since IPO and 22% ahead of NZX50 Gross Index

Inclusion in NZX50 doing wonders for share price

Be 10 bucks by Christmas

Bob, on the face of it seeing there’s 5 months of Urlich included not the greatest result

Things don’t look too hot in the market

No surprises.

In line with their guidance and in line with market consensus.

Time for STU to shine.

[X-men]

Market is disliking the result.

If STU presents an average result n same outlook like Vulcan....then SP will follow the downhill

So far two construction / building materials company have enlightened market with current situation and both have tanked ...Will STU buck that trend ? Tmrw will know but not looking good ....

So Vulcan going to report that NPAT is about 15% DOWN on guidance issued a few months ago.
