MBH - Maggie Beer Holdings

This flicked into view in my search today. Might be worth popping onto the watchlist for those who find this appealing. Volume spike, rising money flow, above the 200MAs, higher highs, higher lows from April 2020. Couldn't ask for a whole lot more.

If it hangs in above the 200dMAs it may have some more upside. The 50dsma is still above the current price levels but I am not sure it will have a whole lot of negative impact, of course, I could be wrong!

Busy girl Maggie Beer. Interesting to see how she travels following announcement of stock input into the age care sector. She's got the sauce but can she prevail...

Downgrade a week ago and the SP now sitting around 38 cents. It's actually quite a good detailed update, but the lines which caught my attention (and many others) was this:

• The full year impact of these challenges [cost increases] is expected to decrease MBH’s FY22 trading EBITDA by $4.2m, of which the underperforming dairy assets account for approx. $2.8m
• Price increases have been implemented across e-commerce and retail grocery to offset the cost increases with the full benefits to be realised in FY23

That leaves them with a projected EBITDA of around 10 million for the year - so a big cost increase - on a market cap of around $130 million and EV probably just above $100 million. Certainly not cheap but not too overvalued either. Cost increases are hitting everyone so this downgrade was expected and is probably indicative of what we'll be seeing from others on the ASX shortly (hence why I noted several months ago I don't like to hold shares though inflation).

MBH will surely be able to pass All all the increased costs along to the consumer by the start of FY2023, but I could also see a hit to demand across the whole sector as costs on everything go up and wages stay about the same. Suppose we'll see in a few months when the EOFY report comes out how much of a hit sales took (if at all) in the final month or two of the year but if sales are good and the consumer has absorbed the costs then 38 cents looks pretty appealing.

What intreges me most about MBH is the acquisition that she will be starting a business proposition with the newly elected Labor Party to feed the deprived age care sector. A compounded movement that could see MBH go along way if done properly...

Sort of what Jamie oliver tried to do several years ago with schools (but think he just put his own money in). Great idea, but not convinced it can be monetized to the benefits of MBH shareholders, however it is free branding and advertising which always helps and I've felt she's fallen off the map a little in recent years. Her brand itself is what has the value in my view.

To up market her profile should be beneficial. I'm not sure what's she's all about but she could do with the croutons. Looking at her share price and chart for that matter she needs every crouton she can muster. Things aren't that crash hot.
