Investors Chronicle recommended BUY

 

 

 

 

 

Investors Chronicle recommended long-term BUY of FoaMasters (FOAM). It identified the strengths of FoaMasters as cash-generative and strong growth prospects.

 

Broker Hanson Westhouse cut FoaMasters’ 2008 pre-tax profit forecast from US$14.7m to US$11.9m due to the reduced amount of money raised. Even so, that's still likely to be 40 per cent higher than 2007's profits. What's more, the shares are trading on less than nine times estimated earnings for 2007, falling to near six times in 2008.... management plans to raise more cash when the financial markets strengthen, which will help improve liquidity, making the shares a long-term buy. ”
