The iSentia Group Ltd (ASX: ISD) share price is bucking the trend of a falling market today by lifting around 1% despite the media monitoring business reporting no news to the market.
The shares have fallen 39% over the course of the past year after the business reported multiple profit downgrades on the back of disappointing performance across its Australian business and newly-acquired King Content business.
As a result of the weaker-than-expected performance total EBITDA (operating income) was down 14% to $20.5 million for the six months ending December 30 2016. The group is forecasting full year EBITDA around $44 million on revenues around $162 million, which means it is expecting a marginally stronger second half to FY 2017.
Selling for $2.14 today the shares change hands for 17x annualised earnings per share of 12.4 cents with an annualised yield of 2.9% plus the tax effective benefits of franking credits.
