Sirius Minerals (SXX)
Lining up the key catalysts for success | WHIreland, 1 Nov
Paid Access
"Sirius has entered Q4 with a strong operational tailwind having established 3 construction sites for the Woodsmith Mine project and generated momentum with its new supply agreements which both establish initial demand for its natural multinutrient fertilizer and sets a price which generates significant returns. We move now into the final phase of Stage 2 funding with Sirius looking to conclude negotiations for its $3bn senior debt funding package (expected Q1 19) and finalise an additional capital component of between $0.4-0.6bn for which Sirius sees several alternative funding solutions..."
Warpaint London (W7L)
Buying opportunity | Stockdale, 30 Oct
Paid Access
"We believe that the share price fall following the trading statement is an overreaction. While trading on the UK high street is likely to remain challenging until there is greater clarity on Brexit, Warpaint has put in place a strong international growth strategy. We have included a better-case scenario in this report which shows a more rapid increase in profits as operational gearing kicks in vs the forecasts below. With a progressive dividend policy providing an underpinning to the share, we retain a Buy rating and a DCF-derived 250p TP..."

Aggressive new entrant goes into Administration | Liberum, 31 Oct
Paid Access
"We believe that Safestyle is well placed to see an acceleration in its recovery now that SafeGlaze, the aggressive new entrant, has been placed into Administration. We believe that SafeGlaze reached annual turnover of around £30m, almost entirely by disrupting Safestyle, and there is an opportunity for Safestyle to recover the lion’s share of this as direct and indirect employees return..."
