Oceana just released a good set of FYE 30.09.2022 results, the salient results are • Revenue: +12% to R8,148m (2021: R7,296m); • Operating profit before other operating items: +11% to R1,250m; • Profit before tax: +14% to R1,064m • EPS: +16% to 622.9cps; • HEPS: +17% to 626.0cps;
Cash Flow & Financial Position • Cash Generated From Operations: (33%) R990m; • Total CAPEX: (12%) R259m; • Net Debt to EBITDA: 1,7x
Technically, there is also reason for optimism. Oceana stock peaked at an all time high of R134,74 back in March 2016 and has been in a bear market since. What is positive though is that the share, like many, had a significant bottom in March 2020 at R41,48 and chopped its way to R78,47 before retracing to R43,00. Though premature to call it, the R41,48 and R43,00 bottoms could potentially be a double bottom pattern in the making. I am also keeping a close eye on a potential inverse head and shoulders pattern on the right side of the double bottom scenario.
This bullish outlook will be invalidated by a break below R41,48.
