Windar Photonics - Retrofit activity driving growth in the short term

Windar Photonics posted record revenues and got close to EBITDA break-even during FY18. Management expects current customer projects with Vestas and continued demand in Asia to drive further growth in the retrofit segment during FY19. It also expects volume deliveries to OEMS to commence in the near future, but we exclude these from our estimates.

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.
