Trinity Mirror ( Trinity Mirror (LON:TNI) ) – 75.5p – £225.9m – PER 2.22
Results For The 12 Months To End December 2017 – Revenue down by 12.6% to £623.2m (weak print trading environment – Digital Revenue up 7% to £83.9m), Operating profit of £124.7m (statutory is reported as up 4.7% to £97.9m), EPS 36.1p versus 38.1p last time. Pension down by £88.4m to £377.6m, Net Debt down from £25m to £9m and the Final Dividend increase of 6% means a total of 5.8p for the year. “Board remains confident that our strategy will meet our objective to deliver sustainable growth in revenue, profit and cash flow over the medium term”.
Even with the Pension Deficit overhead and the terminal decline of the print sector, could this turnaround to be a decent on-line player? It’s a gamble but with that well covered Dividend circa 8%, decrease in Pension and Net Debt, Northern and Shell acquisition and improvement in on-line Revenue – Considering a small opening position, if I don't it will be on my Watchlist at 70p.

The CEO says “It has been a great start to the new financial year and we approach the second half with confidence, with an exciting range of strategic opportunities ahead”.
I still can’t see how this is worth £169.4m, Mr. Market is obviously seeing much more here than me.
