Shares Magazine: Good things expected in full-year results from Epic

by David Jones

Next Tuesday sees full-year results for education and e-learning business Epic Group (EPI). Analysts at Arbuthnot see the potential for some 'positive surprises' in the results and an optimistic outlook going forward.

Although technically classified as a support services stock, the broker believes Epic is a more natural fit with the software and IT services sector. With a price/earning ratio of 17.9, it is on a par with businesses in the software sector.
