Advanced Power Components (APC) issued their final results for the year to 31 August 2008 on 27 January. The results were in line with forecasts and showed a profit before tax of £732,000. However, issues with exchange rates will probably mean that the Group will miss their forecasts for the current year.
Latest Analyst Comments - 15th October 2008
 | Advanced Power Components (APC.L) | Mkt. Cap.:£3.1m |
| Recommendation: BUY | Price/Target:13.5p/21p | |
| Event: Initiation |
APC distributes specialist electronic components via technically knowledgeable sales teams to an equally specialised customer base comprised of defence, aerospace, transport, medical and other industrial contractors. This reduces cyclicality, increases the likelihood of repeat business and allows decent margins. While APC can generate some organic growth it has also proved adept at acquiring small specialised businesses that are immediately earnings accretive and this forms a key part of management`s growth strategy. On conservative growth assumptions APC trades on a PE of 5.2 times 2008/2009 earnings.
