Times- Tempus Extracts:"...... The company also got a strong lift from the weaker pound revenues for the year were ahead by 26.5 per cent at the reported level, or 16.7 per cent at constant currency rates. The market had been primed to expect pre-tax profits of about £32 million. These came in at £34 million, up 47 per cent in constant currencies, which makes one suspect that earlier estimate was deliberately cautious.That ammunition contract is now fully running, and while it expires in spring 2018 the prospects of finding replacement work look good. The US defence industry remains an uncertainty; the sort of sensors Chemring supplies are unlikely to be affected but the company is heavily involved in the F-35 programme and in the process of gaining a permit to manufacture for this in Australia.There is also a return to the dividend list, but it will not make Chemring an income stock, a final payment of 1.3p costing only £3.5 million. The shares have recovered sharply since this column recommended them, aided by the lower pound. Up another 4¼p to 172p, they sell on 15 times earnings. My advice Hold"

Panmure published a note this morning on research tree.... "The management have left themselves with a big ask in H2/16 to deliver on FY16 expectations even after the c3% downgrade yesterday. To meet the revised FY16 expectation, H2/16 revenues needs to grow by 48% sequentially while operating margins are expected to grow nearly 8-fold to 16%. While the first task looks more attainable, the second relies on everything going to plan. Recent history suggests caution, extreme caution."

Fund Manager Investment From Citywire:"Wright catches Chemring on a lowAAA-rated turn-around specialist Alex Wright has taken a chunky stake in arms and aerospace systems manufacturer Chemring Group as the business struggles to recover from a profit warning.Wright, who previously held no reportable position in the business, took 10.1 million shares or 5.22% worth £12.4 million at a share price of 123p, down more than 38.5% over the last year. The shares are held in his Fidelity Special Situations fund, one of the largest and most successful funds of the 1990s beneath his predecessor Anthony Bolton. Following Boltons departure the fund was split into UK and global portfolios, with Wright managing the domestic component. Chemring, which has dropped 78% over five years, further disappointed investors in October last year with a profit warning. The firm was then forced to axe its final dividend and launch an £80 million rights issue last month, after reporting a pre-tax loss of £9.1 million. Of nine analysts tracking the stock, only Investec is braving a buy, on a price target of 210p."nk
