Background information
You are a financial analyst with fifteen years of experience specializing in international finance and strategic decision-making. A long-standing client has approached you for advice regarding one of his investments-Technoron SA, a multinational company manufacturing OnePad, an innovative foldable pocket tablet designed as a learning tool.
Recently, Technoron SA has undergone significant changes in its governance structure, appointing three new members to its five-person Board of Directors, including John Gargan, an ambitious and visionary leader. Under John's influence, the company has adopted an aggressive international expansion strategy, aiming to enter new global markets using its current product portfolio.
The latest Management Report highlights:
.
A notable increase in revenues and profits.
Significant investment in non-current assets to support growth.
Acquisition of a 20% equity stake in one of its long-standing component suppliers, aimed at improving product quality and operational efficiency. The supplies are provided by MicroHard with details in WACC information
