The full-year result out today, was reasonable. Profit and revenue growth expected in the two division currency printing and Product Authentication over the medium term.

My valuation has somewhat reduced with currency growth not expected until FY2023. As a result, I sold some of the positions (spread betting account at 200p), but continue to hold in my ISA for the long-term expected growth.

Based on the following revenue profile ;

The current share price looks like fair value for 2021. The estimated valuation for 2026 is between 380-555p. See graph below.
