We are reiterating our Buy rating, $14 price target and projections after reviewing the company's early summer catalogs for April 2023 and 2024.

We are reiterating our Buy rating, raising our price target to $14 (from $12), raising our FY24 EPS projection to $0.18 (from $0.07) and rolling out top and bottom line projected growth for FY25 after Lands' End reported a strong end to FY23, driven by a multi-level focus on driving higher pricing, better inventory management and overall higher returns. Further, we believe in FY24, as the company continues to shift revenue to higher margin segments (such as licensing and online marketplaces) and

Solid State’s trading update affirms the sustained strength in demand throughout H224, resulting in record FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT ahead of prior consensus of £155m and £12.5m, respectively. This is attributable to the earlier-than-expected delivery of a NATO contract. As a result, consensus FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT estimates have been raised by c 6% and c 20%, with respective FY25 estimates declining commensurately.

Generally, we maintain our estimates for significantly increased sales in FY24e and FY25e, with the cash position unchanged. Recent news on commercial progress has been positive.

Gooch has issued a positive update for H1. Trading has started to recover with stocking levels normalising at industrial and medical devices customers. The outlook is positive with growth returning, and management has confirmed our full year estimates (adjusted for the disposal of EM4). The order book and order flow appear healthy, and net debt is comfortable. Gooch clearly still has plenty to do to lift operating margins from a lacklustre 8.1%, but the transformation plan appears to be back on

Sanderson Design Group (SDG) has reported an 8% increase in interim adjusted PBT, to £6.8m. This was achieved despite a weak backdrop in the home UK market and a 2% decrease in overall group revenue. Increased profitability was driven by strong performances in two of its key and higher-margin strategic growth pillars – Licensing and North America – which grew by 82% and 10%, respectively, on a reported basis. New product launches, including Disney Home x Sanderson, have seen sampling running at
Sanderson Design Group has delivered its full-year trading update to 31 January 2024. Group revenue has eased back 3.1% to £108.5m on a reported basis, following the 2% decline in H1. The strongest performances were delivered by the strategic growth cornerstones of Licensing and North America, offset by challenging market conditions in the UK, Europe and the Rest of the World. A strong balance sheet saw year-end cash rise to £16.2m, compared with £15.4m at year-end FY23. Having traded in line wi
SCE is raising £16m through a placing (and up to a further £3m through open offer) to fund substantial expansion and additional working capital. This will enable the Group to grow to £75m revenue capacity in the near term, commence the build and equipping of a new factory and then (with internally generated free cash flow) scale to £150m revenue capacity and beyond. With a contracted order book of £190m and a prospective pipeline of £400m, this is clearly the time to seize the opportunity. The e
