Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment on The Enterprise Group as a company to invest in.
The share price has gone up significantly but I do not see any news as to the reason for the sharp increase in the stock Price.

5i Research Answer:
E has doubled this year, bringing market cap to $91M. It remains cheap at 10X earnings. There has been no major news, but Q2 earnings were fine with EBITDA more than doubling and margins increasing. It got new coverage from Acumen Capital. It has leverage to large contracts. There has been some insider buying. With its small size and 35% insider ownership we do not want to underestimate its risks here, but its fundamentals look good, the balance sheet is OK and as small caps move towards $100M market cap they do tend to get more attention from investors. We would be OK owning a small position as part of an overall small cap allocation.
