With a busy reporting season behind us we use this note to take stock. Stepping back we pull out the key themes which emerged across the sub-sectors we actively follow in the consumer space. On balance there was more cause for optimism. This is supportive of our top-down view that there is scope for a better H2 for consumer related stocks as cost headwinds ease and pressure on disposable income moderates.

Today’s update highlights that whilst 2017 was a year of significant strategic progress, the turnaround is taking longer than expected. Investors should take plenty of encouragement from the LFL metrics from the invested estate, but there remain a significant tail in the business which is underperforming. Management has a clear plan to address this part of the business in FY18 but for FY17 the financial performance has not lived up to expectations, with LFL sales of -0.5% vs our +2%. Accordingly

easyJet’s released its Q3 results, which were in line with management’s expectations. However, the Q4 performance is now expected to be limited further by the new waves of the pandemic and the increasing travel restrictions in Europe. The hope of a meaningful summer rebound is fading away for the whole intra-European travel sector.

Next’s share jumped 9% on the back of the impressive Q2 21 performance. The encouraging improvement in retail sales as a result of gradually eased social restrictions in the UK alongside the continued strong momentum in online sales have led the group to finish the quarter with 18.6% sales growth vs. the same period in 2019 (vs. guidance of 3% previously). The better-than-expected trading performance has enabled the group to raise again its FY21 guidance and to declare a special dividend.

What a difference a year makes - 12 months ago, the focus, quite understandably, was on the course of the pandemic and the lifting of the Lockdown (1) measures. For investors, it was the sustainability of the rally in markets seen since March 2020. Today, while we are still thinking about the lifting of lockdown measures, we are also concerned about two “old favourites” from previous decades. Inflation and the parlous state of public finances. The BoE has said that although CPI inflation rose to

In this note we focus on five key themes that we believe will shape the motor retail sector in the short-to-medium term. These are digital sales trends, electrification, the agency model, vehicle supply, and the economic outlook. The dealer groups have shown a great deal of resilience and flexibility throughout the Covid-19 pandemic – we expect them to continue to adapt and work closely with OEMs as the industry evolves.
