Morning all!

Avingtrans ( Avingtrans (LON:AVG) ) – 217p – £67.4m – PER 21.7

Preliminary Results For The 12 Months To End May 2018 – Driven by acquisition - Revenue is up 247% with PBT up 820% and Adjusted Diluted EPS up from 1.1p to 8.4p. Gone from having Cash (£26.4m) to Net Debt (£7.1m), which is fair enough. Dividend is increased slightly.

No conviction here either way as to how this is going to play out long term although this doesn’t look too bad – I remain Neutral for now.

Topps Tiles ( Topps Tiles (LON:TPT) ) – 62.7p – £123.2m – PER 9.93

SRT Marine Systems ( SRT Marine Systems (LON:SRT) ) – 25.5p – £35.3m – PER 10.3

Trading Update For The 6 Months To End September 2018 – Revenue up, Loss reduced. No mention of in-line, etc. (nada!).

There’s still nothing here to change my view from Neutral.

Wincanton ( Wincanton (LON:WIN) ) – 222.5p – £277.1m – PER 6.94

Trading Update For The 6 Months To End September 2018 – In-line.
