Interesting dividend, share buyback, new management, what do you think of this company?
Interesting company. Profitability may have dropped quite a bit since 2019, but the revenue and EPS outlook is pretty strong for the next few years - more growth is expected. The company is already one of the more defensive ones based on the chart, so as a dividend portfolio addition, interesting for me.
