Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
Concentration risk in cashew business
Despite diversification plans, cashew currently constitutes ~95% of revenue. A significant price decline or supply disruption in African sourcing could materially impact results.
Low margin profile for traded products
Almonds yield only 4-5% margins versus 16-20% for cashew processing. Aggressive expansion into traded nuts could compress blended margins despite higher revenue.
CNSL facility execution and offtake risk
Management deflected the question on midterm margin targets, citing forward-looking statement restrictions. Execution on the CNSL facility and demand for industrial oil products remains unproven.
