Your investors here should take a close look at PSP (5.05), it’s stock is trading at 20% below its IPO price 2 yrs ago, yet earnings per share doubled since. At a 2025 p/e of only 7 and yielding 5% while benefiting from US tariffs, it’s a rational investor no brainer in my view. Mkt.cap is 210 mill. US $, so not a micro cap.
