Uncertain outlook comes as no surprise

We take a positive view of Legal & General’s FY 22 results. Despite the tough environment, the Group managed to outperform expectations – something which was hardly a given for such a large asset manager. With L&G being widely exposed to the UK economy, it might be a call one does not want to make but the firm’s business remains one of spreads – as long as a default does not occur. We remain positive but concede that L&G embeds more risk than we had assumed.

Big Technologies (BIG LN) - 2022 results: Go Big!

Big Technologies grew revenue 30% organically and in constant currency, largely driven by the New Zealand contract and existing customers deploying more devices.

The company is well positioned for further large contract wins. However, our 2023 revenue estimates assume minimal net new contract wins, being

NAHL Group - Finals

NAHL generated growth in both its Personal Injury (PI) and Critical Care divisions, the former despite a continuation of subdued market conditions – hence market share gains.
