Digital Marketing Group Plc (LON:DIGI) Group (DIGI, 28p, £20.89m) Interims to September 2010 saw revenues decline to £22.49m (£24.70m) with gross profits up to £17.90m (£17.44m), a increase in gross margins to 79.6% (70.6%) and an underlying operating profit of £1.82m (£2.02m) before amortisation, and an underlying PBT of £1.56m (£1.64m) with 0.42p (0.2p) EPS. The group ended the period with a net debt of £6.07m (£7.26m at the yearend). The group has yet to see an increase in the financial services sector which would help the digital services operations, but growth is being seen in its ecommerce division. The group hopes to improve on its operating profit performance in the second half. Forecasts of £3.5m with 3p+ of EPS looks achievable, putting the group on a modest PER of 9.3x for the current year. We still see upside to around 12x – giving a target price of 36p. BUY
