Few retailers can boast the enviable track record of JD Sports, the ambitious multi-channel ‘athleisure’ business with a fashion-forward offering that combines the major sportswear brands with established own-label ranges. The company’s expanding international footprint is about to be enhanced by a potentially game-changing recently announced US acquisition, which has yet to be reflected in the consensus forecasts.

The spotlight on food technology has perhaps grown more as a result of changing consumer trends, and environmental necessity than from investor appetite for something new. According to Robbins Research, livestock account for 18% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is higher than the portion of GHG emissions created by transportation. Livestock also produce 35% of the world’s methane, which has more than 20 times the Global Warming Potential of carbon dioxide, and generate 65% of the world’s

A confident set of interims from Springfield this morning confirms the Group is well on track to deliver another year of significant growth, in line with expectations. It was a record H1 for the Affordable division, reflecting delivery against its substantial contracted order book. The Private division, meanwhile, reported a decline in revenues versus the somewhat inflated H1’21 comp (COVID unlocking period) but enters H2 with a record order book for the remainder of the year.

Bic’s stock price has been under pressure for the past few quarters. This is despite the CEO (Gonzalve Bich) pressing ahead with a time-bound plan to turnaround the business. While the 2022 margins could witness some pressure, it is a non-structural issue in our opinion. The performance improvement plan is on track, plus management is potent enough to sustain top-line momentum during the mid-term. A cheap valuation (both fundamental and relative) also adds to the investment case.
