Question about 2023 vs 2022 resultsI am doing my research deciding whether to buy in or not. Thinking the price seems a bit high here. So all the analysts are looking forward with this stock with their rose coloured glasses. That may be because all of them except Raymond James were involved in the June share issue.
Looking at the Sept Company Presentation it looks like the numbers dropped a lot between 2022 & 2023. The large acquisition in New Brunswick (LCF) closed on Aug 23 2023. The revenue in 2023 declined 20% and if you factor in (remove) the Rev from LCF the rev would have been down 33%. See page 8 of the Q2 report. Net income in 2023 declined 64% and if you remove the LCF portion of $1.498 M it would have declined 81%. Those are substantial declines. I have read the YE 2023 MD&A but not sure I accept the factors provided as explaining the large drop. Seems like there is more to the story.
I welcome any thoughts from those that have been here a while or those that understand the story better than I do.
