Focusrite ends the year with revenue as forecast, continued profit growth in the second half and revenue in line with our expected slower second-half growth. Cash of £22.8m is 10% higher than we forecast and is now over half the balance sheet. US tariffs will likely apply to Focusrite’s business there and management has been considering its response, while risks associated to Brexit appear relatively minor to us. It seems the share price continues to discount a significant acquisition.
