Market Cap: ￡47.29M

Synectics plc, with a market cap of ￡47.29 million, shows strong financial health with no debt and significant earnings growth, outpacing the electronic industry average. The company's short-term assets significantly cover both its short- and long-term liabilities. Recent contract wins include a ￡2.2 million agreement with National Grid and a US$3.2 million project in South-East Asia, enhancing revenue prospects. However, the recent passing of CEO Paul Webb introduces leadership uncertainty despite interim measures by CFO Amanda Larnder. While trading below estimated fair value suggests potential for appreciation, share price volatility remains high compared to UK peers.
