Finances

Last year, the revenue stream decreased by -12.53%. Average annual income growth also decreased to 7.50%. Gross margin as an electronics manufacturing company remained very high. The Net Yield indicator are also high, although it have decreased to 37.15%. 10-year average annual EPS growth is 14%, and 5-year — 14.39%.

The yield of Retained earnings is equal to 18.64%, its average annual growth rate is 6.38%. The 10-year average annual Return on Equity (ROAE) is 47.53% — slightly increased, apparently due to the purchase of Own shares.

Of course, the company needs a lot of funds to develop its activities, especially for research and development. Even with positive Working Capital, the company is heavily indebted. The share of Total liabilities in Equity is 91.44%. Only 0.61 years would be enough to cover Long-term debts with the Net profit of 2023. 1 dollar invested in IMT earned as much as 3.37 dollar EPS.

Unfortunately, FCF per share fell several times last year. However, investors in the market believe in the company and believe that such a fall is an exception to the rule and at the end of 2023 P/FCF was $116 (2022 — $26). The average annual growth of the Book value of the share is 6.63%.

The F_SCORE result is just 3. This result is obviously due to last year’s results. We really hope that we will not see such indicators next year.

If the company’s owners wanted to sell the company and invest the money in US 10-year bonds and get the return they received in 2023, they would have to sell the shares at $165 (the share price was $171 at the time of writing). In terms of fixed income, the company is properly valued in the market. At the time of writing, our Initial investment ratio is 6.00%. This is a very good prospect.

Tradingview Consensus:

Conclusions

The company’s performance last year was somewhat disappointing. But we are in no hurry to dramatize them. Dramatism except for that and only for those who did not manage to buy shares of this company with discounts when they were available last year. Now, and we really hope for it, the discounts will have to wait.

And it should be noted that the price forecasts already indicate a more moderate and realistic price growth in perspective. Therefore, we buy and fill the portfolio, especially through various corrections and monitor performance.
