The company paid dividends in its first year of operation – $0.14 per share – for a dividend yield of 6.04%. Although Silk is new to the ASX, its financial track record since FY 2019 cements its status as a significant player, with revenues increasing yearly and strong profit growth in FY 2021 and FY 2022.

Half Year FY 2023 Financial Results continued the trend, with a 39.1% revenue increase and a 32.4% rise in net profit after tax (NPAT). On 4 August, Silk announced a binding agreement to acquire privately held Secon Freight Logistics, with a large presence in Victoria. Silk management expects the acquisition to add 10% to the company’s earnings per share, pending integration costs.
An analyst at Morgans has a BUY recommendation on SLH shares, based mainly on the growth potential of the Secon acquisition enhancing Silk’s presence in Victoria.
