Morning All!
Totally ( Totally (LON:TLY) ) – 32.5p – £19.4m – PER n/a
Trading Update – In-line with Cash expected to be significantly ahead of expectations, £8m versus £4.1m.
A new one to me and I am not sure what to make of this. It’s clearly got lots of Cash but I have no idea what the real forecasts are. I will keep an eye out for a more detailed update in the future.
MS International ( MS International (LON:MSI) ) – 181p – £30.3m – PER 19.9
Half Year Report For The 6 Months To 28 October 2017 – PBT up to £1.64m (2016 - £0.61m) on a notable uplift in revenue to £34.63m (2016 - £25.00m). EPS up to 7.8p (2016 - 3.3p) and there’s Net Cash of £14.53m.
This looks OK but with concerns about the UK MoD spending also pointed out – For me, with already unimpressive ROCE and Operating Margin figures, it’s just a little too risky in the present environment.
On The Beach ( On The Beach (LON:OTB) ) – 399p – £520.4m – PER 18.1
Preliminary Results For The 12 Months To End September 2017 – Headlines with “Strong second half revenue growth drives 33.8% increase in Group adjusted PBT”. Revenue up 17.2% (£83.6m), EPS up 35.4% and the Dividend is up 27.2% (2.8p). It seems in-line and based on current trading in-line expectations remain.
Looks OK here and it’s more so the sector than the actual company putting me off here. That said it seems to weather storms (!!!) reasonably well.
St Ives ( ST Ives (LON:SIV) ) – 74p – £105.6m – PER 5.85
Trading Update (For The 3 Months To 3 November) – Trading ahead of managements expectations, Revenue running 4% ahead of the equivalent period last year.
It’s cheap for sure but amongst other things, the Net Debt here (£54.6m, over 50% of Mkt Cap) just makes me want to steer clear. I also believe there’s a reasonable sized Pension deficit but have not had time to look into this.
