Investment summary

New technical requirements on new product lines in a ramp-up phase have created manufacturing challenges though these should be bedded down by the year end. Flagged year end margin targets are on track and we see long-term benefits from this strategic development. Volex is a genuine growth story trading on a value rating.

Industry outlook

Investors have become very skittish on the general outlook for international GDP growth and so the appetite for growth-oriented stocks has been changeable. Those companies with demonstrable self-help programmes and initiatives that are clearly laid out and credible will be the relative winners in this environment; Volex certainly fits that description.
