Cristine & Shayne

DOW:ASX

It kept coming up on my recomendation lists from brokers ( circus promoters) etc,so I added it to my watch list, numbers look good and technically it is poised to breakout in the near term if it can break the resistance at .87 cents. I will try to post a chart for it and you will be able to see what I mean.

 

Regards

Morgy

>Hi Shayne,

>First impressions of Downer EDI (ASX Code DOW)
>
>1) stayer - been around for a while - didn't review assets
>
>2) cashflow - good revenue, diversified income stream, margins appear tight which places higher emphasis on maximising volume and minimizing cost
>
>3) as a growth stock - forward order book appears healthy - announcement 'reliable long-term income streams' seems credible on the surface but without contract details (contingencies and time frames) cannot assess
>
>4) dividend - selling ex dividend at present - reasonable return on stock price but there are better out there, eg; Downer EDI (DOW) dividend 2.9 cents (only partially franked) and selling around 85 cents whilst Cellnet (CLT) 7cents (fully franked at 30%) is selling around 86 cents

>NB This is just my own opinion, but the end of the day, I believe a 'growth stock' should provide a good return on your investment. If a company has a good income stream and are able to make reasonable profits they should be sharing a good percentage of those profits with shareholders or justifying holding on to most or all of it in retained profits, eg; communicating plans for future growth that will necessitate investment expenditure.

>5) healthy exec salaries - execs seem to be doing well from the business even if shareholders aren't - wouldn't mind having one of those positions!
>
>NB I'm all for execs being paid well, but it should be linked to performance criteria (profit and dividends being just a couple of those) not revenue performance alone

>6) Intangibles - would like to know what's been factored into Goodwill - $345,706,000 and Intellectual Property - $34,701,000?
>
>7) Current interest bearing liabilities - $96,204,000?
>
>8) Prefer not to see unexplained entries in the millions, eg; Current Payables, Other? - $31M
>
>9) Don't know their market or competition
>
>May very well grow but not my cup of tea based on the quick review I did. (NB Keep my review in perspective - trading for just over two months.)
