Which may or may not be true. Just remember that Share price is underlying value plus hype. Hype can be pretty volatile.
But sure - FBU is well known for buying into companies when they are well overvalued. It is a gamble for MPG holders, but it might work out ...
Underlying value 80 cents plus hype 10 cents equals 90 cents
On its way for a pretty well run company
All those guru fund managers and finance guys who hyped Metro up post IPO and those who got sucked in deserve what they got ....it turned out $1.20 plus of hype was a pipe dream all along.
“ At the top of every bubble, everyone is convinced it's not yet a bubble.”

Managements current trading / outlook statements are going to be the key bit. The financials cover a period with very different conditions and could be all over the place. The half year period is April 2020 to Sept 2020. We know from the August announcement below that the L4 lockdown had basically taken out a months revenue and after four months there was still a $18.6m year on year decline.
On the 21st Aug MPG provided a 4-month trading update. If not separately advised, it should be possible to tell what sales looked like in Aug/Sep from this announcement.
