After the release of SANDPIPER's audited annual report 2017 by EY Ernst &
Young, SMC Research published a comment about SANDPIPER entitled "Successful
Consolidation". The comment refers to the initial study about SANDPIPER by
SMC Research, which identified great potential for the company. SMC now
highlights the significant progress that SANDPIPER has made regarding its
cost structure, which positively affected the financial results in 2017.
Notably, revenues increased by 5.4% despite considerable cost reductions.
This development falls within the upper end of SMC's expectations, which is
why the research analyst raised SANDPIPER's target share price to EUR 0.27,
from a previous target price of EUR 0.26. The recommendation remained a
"Speculative Buy". The update highlights that the improvement of the cost
structure developed better than expected. Additionally, SMC points out that
further positive effects are expected from increased exploitation of
synergies in the future, which will fuel revenue growth, with the explicit
target of reaching profitability.
SANDPIPER invited its shareholders to its annual general meeting on June
29th, 2018. The highlight of the meeting will be the re-election of three
new, renowned members of the Board of Directors: Franz Herrlein, Steffen
Seeger and Dieter Froehlich.
