Marston’s is our solitary positive stock pick in the sub-sector. Recent finals reflected a year of further strategic, LFL and earnings progress. We believe it is operationally in a strong shape to make further solid progress in FY17, not least as it does not have the acquisition integration or turnaround issues confronting GNK, MAB and RTN. Moreover, it is relatively better positioned to manage the cost headwinds. We forecast 11% TSR returns in FY17 and feel the shares with a 5.5% historical yield and 12% FCF yield (FY17e) are oversold. We are buyers with a revised 12m TP of 150p.
