Recently What's Cooking? has started a review of the strategic options for the Savoury b...

What's Cooking? - EBITDA beating, dividend raised
2023 results exceeded our estimate on EBITDA. Sales and net profit came in below. Company surprises with a 7% increase in dividend, all in cash and no longer a script dividend.

Valuation is undemanding, but visibility and liquidity are very low
