FY18 Results. Upgrade to '19 forecasts.

Rotala has today reported strong finals, with normalised PBT of £4.23m ahead of DCe £4.10m and adjusted earnings per share of 7.22 against our 7.08p forecast. Group revenues advanced +19% with great performances from Rotala's two largest divisions, contracted services and commercial services. Adjusted operated profit leapt +18% to £5.8m. We have upgraded our FY2019E forecasts. The recent acquisitions are bedding in well and the Group continues to actively review its portfolio of depots. This res

Trading update.

Rotala has today issued a trading update for the year ended November 2018. Trading during FY18 ‘was in line with market expectations’ and the Group continues to position itself in key growth markets utilising M&A. Trading for FY19 has ‘begun in line with budget’ and management have announced a new fuel hedging strategy to capitalise on the weakness in crude oil prices. We believe the current share price offers both a strong growth and income play.

Slow and steady, Rotala gearing up for strong FY18.

Rotala (ROL.L) today announced positive H1 results as the Group’s strategy of steady organic growth is complimented by acquisitive earnings enhancement. Adjusted operating profit increased 18.1% to £2.32m (H1 2017: £1.96m) and we believe the Group is on track for significant FY18E growth given the Group’s strong seasonality with H2 bias. Rotala is trading in-line with market expectations and we continue to recommend buying shares with a target price of 80p.

Strong results put Rotala firmly in the driver’s seat.

Rotala plc (ROL.L) today announced strong FY17 results. The three acquisitions made by the Group in the year grew the top and bottom line while better positioning ROL to benefit from any fall out in the West Midlands or Manchester as a result of the 2017 Bus Services Act. We remain confident in Rotala’s buy and build strategy and believe the shares remain undervalued. We are forecasting strong earnings growth with adj EPS forecast to increase 30.6% in the two years to FY19E.

The Bus Services Act – Disruption in the UK bus market

We initiate our coverage of Rotala plc (“ROL”) with a BUY recommendation. The Group looks to offer investors an attractive 4.8% yield rising to 5.2% in 2018. This dividend is well covered (2.7x in FY18) and has grown in six consecutive years. The Bus Services Act 2017 represents an exciting opportunity for ROL to increase its market share in the c£500m Manchester and West Midlands markets. The potential created by this new legislation now makes Rotala an attractive growth play as well as an appe

Finals, ahead of expectations

Volex has delivered final results that are ahead of expectation.

Yet the company has created a path through these risks with the creation of the 240MW Uskmouth battery project and further opportunities at the MeyGen tidal stream project. With MeyGen seeing the immediate benefit of an additional turbine in the water we see the current year as being a better one for the company.

Oil posted its first back-to-back weekly loss since early April as fears of a demand-sapping global recession and tighter US monetary policy ripped through commodity markets to spur a broad sell-off.

Judges Scientific (JDG) – Acquisition of minority shareholding in Bordeaux

The shares now trade on 24.3x FY2022E earnings, versus a peer group trading on a blended 24.9x. Judges' shares more than regained their composure in early 2022, before events in Ukraine and continued Covid concerns (notably China) weighed on sentiment. As a result, some treading of water is likely in our view. But given the strength of the business (we believe earnings risk is towards the upside) and balance sheet, the quality of earnings and the company's continued ability to execute deals on s
