GOING DOWN

Oliver’s real Food (ASX:OLI) has disappointed shareholders again, releasing yet another profit downgrade which led to investors dumping the stock by by 55 per cent to 4.3c, a fraction of its 20c IPO price exactly two years ago.

Full year revenue is now expected to be 12-15 per cent lower than forecast in November at $34-$38 million, while EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation) has swung from a forecast $3m-4m profit to a $1m-4m loss.

Locality Planning Energy (ASX:LPE) fell 15 per cent today to an intraday and all-time low of 55c after an embarrassing blunder led investors to believe it wasn’t downgrading profit guidance.

“Due to a typographical error, the fourth dot point in the announcement dated Friday 25th January incorrectly stated that EBITA and NPAT would not be effected,” it said late yesterday.

“It should have read as follows; EBITA and NPAT affected.”
