🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the mixed financial results, a HOLD recommendation is appropriate. The revenue increase is a positive sign, but the decrease in profit after taxation and EPS, along with the significant increase in finance costs, warrant caution. Further investigation is needed to understand the drivers behind these changes before making a definitive BUY or SELL decision. The price target and time horizon cannot be accurately determined without additional financial data and a deeper understanding of the company’s future prospects.
