Morning all!
Dignity ( Dignity (LON:DTY) ) – 742p – £371m – PER 10.8
Results For The 12 Months To 28th December 2018 – Revenue down -3%, Underlying PBT down -30% and Underlying EPS fown -33%, the Dividend is flat. Competition and Markets Authority investigation into industry likely to commence this year.
I still don’t see any reason to be “bottom picking” here just yet.
EKF Diagnostic Holdings ( EKF Diagnostics Holdings (LON:EKF) ) – 32p – £145m – PER 23
Results For The 12 Months To End December 2018 – Revenue up 2%, PBT up 280% from £4.3m to £12.2m, Underlying EPS up almost 100% from 58p to 101p (correction 0.58p to 1.01p). Q1 of the new year in-line with management expectations.
I had this down as fairly priced around this level, need to circle back to this and check out the exceptionals here.
Empresaria ( Empresaria (LON:EMR) ) – 68p – £33.3m – PER 5.6
Results For The 12 Months To End December 2018 – Revenue up 5%, Adjusted PBT up 18%, Adjusted Diluted EPS down -3%. The Final Dividend is up 52%, with Net Debt at £17m why not pay some of it off instead!
Still seems reasonable value on a PER <6 but I will remain on the side-lines – Net Debt is a no go for me.
Franchise Brands ( Franchise Brands (LON:FRAN) ) – 68p – £52.7m – PER 18.7
Results For The 12 Months To End December 2018 – Ahead of expectations, Revenue up 43% to £35.5, Adjusted PBT up 36%, Basic Adjusted EPS up 21% and the Total Dividend is up 34%. New year started well, mention of potential acquisitions.
I am still tempted to take a long positon here, if I do not this it will remain on my Watchlist.
