Update: Looking sweet

Comvita (CVT) has locked up about half its requisite honey supply through acquisitions and investments in apiaries. This, together with investment in augmented production facilities, the rationalisation of its channels to market, and optimising the product mix, should see CVT continue to expand its margins and lift its return on invested capital (ROCE) above the current level of ~12%. Our valuation of NZ$4.73 would increase to NZ$5.96 if the EBITDA margin was to rise from the current level of 14.9% to 18% over the next three years.
