It's also in martin Roth's 2025 top stocks. I'd just put it in a new watch list for 2025 and the drop happened. I saw it at $6.12 but didn't buy till $6.39.
Personally I don't try and catch falling knives too often, though I did this time

Bloody Hell!! Thats awful news, almost certainly have to sell now. You dont get much stronger signs than that! Obviously my research and analysis missed some critical elements. I wonder what's actually wrong with the business??
 
Nice announcement today, a near $10m contract in Aerospace & Defence sector, equal to 50% of total A&D revenue in 2024. Increases my conviction. (despite the pesky Fools & Roth's top stocks trying to queer the pitch.)

"Queer the pitch"? Unacceptable speech that causes offence and violates sensitivities.
The announcement uses the code PWR - doesn't inspire confidence.

LOL! Thats hilarious, missed the error! Made all the worse because PWR is an actual #shitco on the ASX.

My conviction is shot to pieces.

(Sorry if my use of the word pitch offended any cricketers.)
 
So NPAT came in a bit better than guidance at $4m, mainly due to revenue being a bit better also. Guided for $62m came in at $63m, so looks like management were conservative which is a plus!. Also gross margin compression was not as bad as guidance implied.

Most of the negative impact looked to be priced in, given that PWH had clearly articulated the reasons for and likely impact of the issues.

3 directors buying on market is a healthy sign, not huge parcels but still significant.

Subscriber Question:
"PWH looks like a high quality business going through a rough patch. The share price has fallen significantly and the value proposition appears compelling. What do you think?"

Answer:
"Hi Cameron,
For subscribers not familiar with PWH, it’s a $640mn QLD company that specialises in the design, engineering, and manufacture of advanced cooling solutions used in Motorsport (formula 1 for example), auto, aero & defence. The companies shares have halved from their 2024 highs for two primary reasons:

In late 2024, PWR announced the cancellation of certain EV-related projects, which had been anticipated to drive growth. The stock plunged ~20% on the news.
Higher production costs have compressed margins. In 1H of FY25, NPAT fell by 58.3% to $4.1 million, despite an only 2.1% decline in revenue to $62.9 million.
PWH faces further short-term profitability challenges due to strategic investments but its pick up in aerospace & defence areas positions it for potential growth in FY26 and beyond – revenue is forecast to increase by over 22% in next year. Having moved on from elevated EV expectations, like many companies, PWH is trading on an ok valuation, with some upside already built into the share price.
The risk/reward looks ok into fresh forays below $6."

More waffle from 'analysts'! I really dont want to read content that is just copy and pasted from a service that is financially incentivised to churn out gobblygook.

On the other hand I am genuinely interested in content actually written by members - particularly investors like yourself @finicky. Your ideas, opinions and words are much more interesting than this stuff, and I can be very confident that you are not writing for clicks & $$'s
 
PWH results for FY25 in line with my expectations and telegraphed by H1 results & company updates. Market will probably not like due to short termism so opportunity to accumulate may present. OCF was probably the one thing a bit better than expected. Happy to see dividend reduced rather than funding the capex with debt or share issue. Thesis remains in place, medium to long term this business will return to growth higher margins.

Having a squiz at this after seeing it in the well shorted list.

Somewhere around the 8th highest shorted ASX stock on short man ATM with 10.31% shorted, and slowly rising.

I see plenty of missed opportunities on the chart, and it is not on my radar after looking at it. Short term pessimism as stated by galumay above. Attractive on a good short squeeze though.
