Snow Angel, not sure where you are coming from with "falling margins, lower growth'. I have EPS up 66% , Op Cashflow up 106%!, and even dividend up 46%. All better than last year. If only all me investments provided such growth. I also have net profit margin up from 10% in 2017 to 14% now, though could be better if costs contained.
I agree about increasing costs. Staff costs are far too high. Also balance sheet is too lazy by far. Seems to be no initiative for branching out - they have the funds to do it, evn if it is risky. They just sit on their hands seeing a good business continue to do well (so why more staff?). It could do much better with some initiative.
Anyway, loaded on AEF, but bought a few more this morning. Happy to get $157.
