Is there any value here? Forward PER is c8.6, and yield is possibly c5% covered twice.Debt has risen, but this was as a result of acquisitions that diversified the business away from Eastern and Central Europe. Money well spent perhaps?We are bobbling along at a yearly low. When this level was reached last month there was a substantial, if momentray, surge in price.Average broker target is c160, with a concensus hold/buy.Admittedly the questions about Russia remain, but that proportion of the business has been diluted, and in any EU case sanctions are up for review.Any views chaps?

Results These results demonstrate that ITE has a risky year ahead. Cash reserves depleted, any new acquisitions in the forthcoming year will need to be funded by the market, thus a possible rights or dilution of the share price. Dividend cover weakened and with little guidance to how they might wish to diversify away from Eastern European markets. But EPS and profit has been upheld, but as I said - I doubt this'll be the case in next year's results. As this will be heavily reliant on revenues with little protection from volatility. As which as we can see, fell heavily. Despite it's low PE and price, far too risky for me to invest in!
