Edison values Cooks Global Foods at $0.23 per share

London-based Edison Investment Research has valued Cooks Global Foods (NZX:CGF) shares at $0.23 per share in its latest independent report on the company, issued today.

The valuation, which is calculated on the basis that the capital raising announced last week is complete, is some 92% more than the price at which Cooks shares trade on the NZAX. Last week Cooks announced it had secured conditional equity commitments totalling $9 million from China’s Jiajiayue Group Co. Ltd (JJY), and Cooks Executive Chairman Keith Jackson as part of an $18 million capital raising plan.

Edison notes its valuation is predicated on growth to 710 Esquires Coffee stores by 2021.

The full report is attached and can also be found on Cooks official website and Edison .
