Vertu has released an unscheduled trading update, delivering another earnings upgrade to 2022E, this time in excess of 30%. This is driven by the strength of the used car market, although we believe Vertu is outperforming particularly in terms of securing supply. We believe the shares remain significantly undervalued, and that it remains well placed in the sector.
Lookers has announced a fourth upgrade to 2021 forecasts following an unscheduled H1 trading update yesterday. As a result, we are lifting our current year forecast for underlying PBT by 19% from £51.2m to £60.8m. In what is expected to be an exceptionally strong period for Lookers, we expect the Group to deliver EPS of 12.5p in 2021E, close to what our previous blue-sky EPS was of 13.2p back in February. However, we assume this level of performance is not sustained going into 2022E and 2023E as

SCS Group’s full year trading update for the 53 weeks to 31st July shows that the strong demand that has been a hallmark of post lockdown periods over the past 15 months has continued, with LFL orders through the Group’s weeks 47 to 53 up by 23.7% on pre-Covid levels. Lower costs underpin a 16% upgrade to FY21 CPTP expectations, whilst the strong order book drives a 17% upgrade to our FY22 CPTP forecast. We look for EPS of 32.2p and 30.8p for FY21 and FY22 respectively. Year end net cash of £87.

Due to the very stringent restrictions applied in its core markets, IAG’s Q2 ended up similar to its Q1: in line operating results following a weaker-than-expected top line. The capacity outlook still seems depressed which is discouraging the market.

Photo-Me has detailed that the Group’s trading performance was better than expected in May, June and July. This was driven by a stronger than anticipated recovery in photobooth activity, mainly in continental Europe. Guidance for FY 2021 has been raised to sales of c.£210m (previously c.£200m) and adj. PBT of £25-30m (previously £21-24m). We have consequently upgraded our FY 2021E EPS by 22% but leave our FY 2022E forecasts onwards unchanged for now. In effect, we assume the recovery is taking p

Pendragon released a trading update last week that increased its guidance for FY21 underlying PBT to £55-60m, up from £45-50m in the June pre-close update. The Group attributes this to the continued momentum in the used car market throughout July as we have seen across the sector and is also backed up looking at the latest data from CAP HPI. As a result of this update, we have increased our FY21 underlying PBT forecast by 18.6% to £55.6m. We have not upgraded our forecasts in the outer years ref

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

There were no surprises in M&B’s Q3 trading results. The lfl sales improved gradually since the lockdown restrictions were eased in the UK. The publican also fared slightly ahead of close competitors. The focus now shifts to the profitability details which management will share with the full-year numbers. Our thesis factors in the probability that the pandemic will not worsen in the coming quarters. Positive recommendation maintained on the stock’s valuation.

E-commerce giant, Amazon witnessed a recent dip after Jeff Bezos selling off close to $5 billion worth of the company’s stock. His exit from the CEO role could be a cause of concern for some but we continue to remain optimistic on the stock. The company continued its string of impressive results in the first quarter of 2021, with both top and bottom line surpassing the analyst estimates. The strength of Amazon Web Services (AWS) coupled with consumers turning to e-commerce during the pandemic re

Following a challenging 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic extended the task of restoring stakeholder confidence in Lookers, one of the UK’s leading automotive retailers. With the legacy issues now largely dealt with, Lookers can address the challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19 and the evolution of the UK car market as the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates. The strong balance sheet supports continued investment in technology and brands and, with a leading market position, Lo
The opportunity of scaling a new and exciting value for money pizza concept, Franca Manca is significant. Recent interims testified to this expansion confidence. The group is led by a hugely experienced management team in the casual dining arena and their interests are firmly aligned. Low free float is the main ST drawback but we envisage a liquidity event on a 12m view to resolve this issue. We are positive on Fulham Shore and would encourage investors to take a much closer look.
