  1. Fsmart has been a headache, I have exposure through my holdings in the parent so the drop hasn’t been as painful. What is happening to Fsmart now will happen to other high flyers like Beauty and SPA in due course. Call it the law of diminishing returns as they scale.

    • From memory its the expansion to the larger terminals that is supposed to drive top line growth for FSMART, but this comes with a decline in GPM and thus ROIC’s etc etc…also just wondering on whether this news regarding CPALL “rumoured” to win to be able to be a banking agent may hurt FSMART’s business.
