discoverIE Group - Making good progress

discoverIE reported strong FY18 results: organic growth of 6% was boosted by acquisitions and currency to generate reported revenue growth of 14.7% and normalised EPS growth of 15.8%. The company is making good progress in its strategy to grow the Design & Manufacturing (D&M) business through a combination of organic growth and recent acquisitions. We expect further accretive acquisitions to move the company towards its target of generating 75% of revenues from the D&M business, and view progress towards this target as the key driver of share price performance.
