Paul Scott's view IG Design (LON:IGR)Share price: 300.5p (+14%)No. shares: 62.6mMarket cap: £188mTrading UpdateIt's not difficult to see why the shares are up here today, with the following sub-heading to the RNS:Record revenue, delivering EPS, profit and cash generation ahead of expectationsAnd then, under "Financial Milestones":Group revenues are now expected to achieve record levels - exceeding £300m;Profitability expected to be ahead of current market expectations;Cash generation is well ahead of previously expected levels and such that the Board's target of average annual leverage at less than 2.5x EBITDA will be achieved for the year ended 31 March 2017 - two years ahead of plan.EPS is said to be "significantly ahead of market expectations", those expectations being in a 15.8-16.1p range based on November's upgraded forecasts.So if we add 10% on to that range (presumably a 10% beat would be significant?), we get EPS of 17.5p, putting the shares on a PE ratio of 17x.My opinionMy initial review of the company chimes with the Stocko ranking: above-average quality, below-average value, so at a quantitative level it's hard to see what makes this stand out as a potential investment:58d51d723490fIGR_20170324.PNGNet debt was recorded at £76.4 million at Sep 2016, and should have considerably reduced from that level over the course of H2. It still makes for a large enterprise value against earnings power.Given that the Board's target leverage has been achieved ahead of schedule, I'd expect them to be back on the acquisition trail again before too long.So perhaps you could make an investment case based on the company's recent successful track record in acquisitions. Not one for me, though.[link]
Re: Financial Year end Trading Update... Morning Time2retire,Yes, very good news - I was updating my chart for these and wonder whether on this news of revenue of 300m we see a share price test of 3.00 as well........[link]
Financial Year end Trading Update... All on track and way ahead of the game...Financial milestones-- Group revenues are now expected to achieve record levels - exceeding GBP300m;-- Profitability expected to be ahead of current market expectations;-- Cash generation is well ahead of previously expected levels and such that the Board's target of average annual leverage at less than 2.5x EBITDA will be achieved for the year ended 31 March 2017 - two years ahead of plan."The Group's upgraded trading profit, coupled with lower interest costs from a strong cash flow, are expected to yield a profit after tax and earnings per share outcome for the full year that is also significantly ahead of market expectations."
Re: Tipped in this months Momentum Investor TMI and SCSW are from the same stables - so they were bound to tip this particular horse. Anyways, as TMI are not too bad in their recommendations (with several exceptions such as Cobham, Tullow, Brown.N, Chemring etc etc), I'll take the plunge later today or early tomorrow once the mild hysteria calms down. 265p would be a fair entry point, methinks.

Re: Napped Happy to remain invested in this share but very concerned about this discussion thread! In my foolish youth I backed too many" Napped" horses that fell at the first fence!
Re: Napped In horse racing terms a nap is when a tipster picks out 1 horse from the whole race meeting that he thinks is a sure fire winner.So in scsw case they have plumed for IGR as the share which they think will do best in 2017 out of their whole portfolio.
