Czechoslovak Group

The Czechoslovak Group (CSG) has taken over a 57-hectare industrial site in Gnaschwitz and plans to invest more than 100 million euros.

Hunterbrook Media has opened a short position in Czechoslovak Group and questions the prospectus‑stated production figures for 155‑millimeter ammunition as well as undisclosed shareholder agreements. The analysis criticizes that only one factory has final assembly capacity for 155‑mm shells and that estimated production is far below the prospectus numbers. It also cites reports of a NATO suspension of a Spanish plant, the exercise of a put option by a minority shareholder, and undisclosed pre‑transfers to the founder; Czechoslovak Group rejects all allegations. » More on de.investing.com
