The business has benefited from its diverse and resilient sector exposures, alongside exposure to a number of growth markets that include data centres and EV charge cables where revenue growth was 38% and 193% respectively.

We increased our forecasts on 3 June as SThree pre-announced the strength of Q2. Today’s full release shows Q2 NFI +22% y-o-y and H1 NFI +3% on H1 19. The contractor order book is up 33% and productivity +36%. We make no changes to forecasts today, but now expect H1 21 PBT of £27.4m, up 14% on H1 19. Our H2 estimates are cautiously set, reflecting more normalised contractor working hours and selective headcount investment. We see the risks to be on the upside. Maintain Buy.

Despite the challenges presented by Covid-19, TP Group was able to report organic revenue growth of 9% YoY in FY20A, and total revenue up 20% YoY. Aided by strategic acquisitions, non-core business disposals, and investments made within the group, the company should be well placed to benefit as trading conditions normalise. With visibility improving, we release new forecasts for FY21E and FY22E (Adj EBITDA of £4.2m and £5.1m respectively). Given the improving outlook, and a record order book (£6

As midsummer’s day looms (where has this year gone?), there is greater optimism, in general, than may have been anticipated a few months ago. A post-pandemic, ‘vaccine-driven’ recovery demonstrated by increased consumer spending as lockdown measures are lifted has been one of the catalysts. The FTSE 100 has been range-bound in the last month 6,900-7,100. We have seen a combination of broadly positive company results across a range of sectors, further examples of M&A activity and a sequence of ne

The appointment of an engineering consultancy on the Polish project demonstrates progress. Powerhouse has said that it hopes to complete the project by Q1 2022, in line with development progress in the UK. We see Powerhouse as having considerable international opportunities for the deployment of its DMG technology.

Seeing Machines has announced that it has been appointed by CAE Australia to integrate its precision eye-tracking technology, for an Australian defence industry customer. The engagement is valued at A$1m over five years and comes at the end of a successful direct engagement between Seeing Machines and an Australian defence industry innovation programme delivered over the past two years. This programme exceeded all stakeholder expectations and has opened several additional opportunities across th
Staffline’s raise has generated £44m of net proceeds. The debt re-fi simplifies the bank lending and provides ample head-room. The circular points to FY results in line. Staffline has also reported a strong start to the year, with potential upside from Restart. FY 21 FD EPS increased by 57% and FY 22 reduced by 8% to reflect the mechanics of the re-fi and no tax. We expect the conversion rate to continue increasing. The B/S looks sound with expected FY 22 covenant net debt / EBITDA of 3.0x. We h

The robustness of the operating model and management's action to support customers and manage the cost base led to Vianet generating positive operating cash flow in FY21A. There is a strong pathway to recovery but the full extent is somewhat caveated on a full reopening profile that is yet to be confirmed. We are forecasting the Group to be free cash flow positive this year and see upside in the price as new order momentum returns.

Epwin has entered FY21 with positive revenue momentum, having successfully navigated some extreme market conditions in the prior year. The company has built a solid base from which to grow volumes, and a positive cash generation profile provides headroom to invest organically and via acquisition as post-pandemic markets begin to normalise.

Britain’s leading structural steel specialist slightly beat our previously increased estimates for FY2021, with adjusted PBT of £24.3m in today’s results, against our estimate of £24.0m. “Considerable positive momentum” has continued into FY2022E, with an increased order book in both UK & Europe and also in the Indian JV, despite the second wave hitting the subcontinent. We are not changing our FY2022E estimates, being early in the financial year, but continue to believe the Group is strongly pl

Half-year results place the group on track to achieve existing expectations. The earlier signal that some train sector project revenues were being rescheduled into FY22 has been not much worse than management anticipated, with activity building in Q4 and strong order book for FY22 and beyond. Swift action to reduce costs has contained the impact on profits and this focus on cash has resulted in a £0.5m reduction in net debt to £1.95m. No change to trading forecasts, with a higher tax credit resu

The UK market showed a continued recovery in the first quarter albeit the indices are still well short of their all-time peaks, unlike many of their international peers. The FTSE 100 has risen by 1,186 points (21.4%) since the end of October and the FTSE 250 by 4,304 points (25.0%). The comparable performance since the start of the year is less spectacular- the FTSE 100 has risen by 253 points (3.9%) and the FTSE 250 has risen by 1,070 points (5.0%). The factors behind the sustained rally are fa

Gattaca has issued an unscheduled update due to a strong Q3 performance, with recovery in UK markets ahead of expectations. We increase FY21E NFI by 2.2% and adj. PBT by £2.2m to £2.7m. A return to paying dividends is expected at the FY. We think that the risk to forecasts is on the upside, given management’s self-help initiatives combined with exposure to the growth markets of STEM, defence and infrastructure. TP raised from 180p to 260p.
