Strix (LON:KETL) - link to note: https://www.equitydevelopment....
Strix has completed a new equity placing initiated by an investor that will raise approx. £8m of proceeds, with the placing shares expected to be admitted to trading on 14 June. The funds will accelerate the pace at which it achieves self-imposed targets on the level of headroom on its key banking covenant. As such, the refinancing of the Group’s banking facility set for 2025 should now be on more favourable terms. The group can now speed up investment in sustainable growth should suitable opportunities arise, while remaining cognisant of the balance sheet.
We have slightly reduced our fair value to 167p / share, reflecting the level of adj. EPS dilution. In our view, the Group remains materially undervalued relative to its peers, particularly now its balance sheet has been strengthened.
