Final thoughts on GWOX
GWOX (watchlist): Illiquid ESOP-controlled education co; shares priced via annual appraisal (~8.5x FCF/12x NI) at $363. Weak FY26, flat FY27 signaled by flat deferred rev; likely flat appraisal/dividend. 2028 ESOP loan maturity not a forcing event (fundable via cash/treasury). Special-div trigger requires cash >> ESOP obligation (now 98% vs 15% historic). Fully valued; watchlist until cash outpaces obligation or appraisal >> public price.
