Ann: Half Yearly Report and Accounts, page-23

Understood. While SHL provides reliable growth, it is a slow moving beast.

I primarily took a position because I wanted somewhere safe to park my money while I await upcoming half year reports from companies of interest to me. But aside from that, it looks like the bottom line may grow faster in the next few years than mid single digit that's been the norm in the past. SHL has a cost cutting program ongoing and seem confident that margins will improve with the help of AI. These two factors coupled together should see earnings improve in high single digits. If I'm wrong, downside should be limited from the current SP.

The link isn't working. Doesn't really matter because of I am one of those market participants that won't invest in a company unless there is a track record of EPS growth and increasing dividend payment.
