Re: PAG Results beat consensus Broker Fi... <b>This Broker was looking for a 16% increase and we got a 17.2% increase year on year.</b>Tuesday 25 NovemberParagon (PAG) will release its full-year results on Tuesday.Analysts' expectations: Paragon's full-year results are expected to show both Mortgages and Idem Capital posting strong growth. Stuart Duncan at Peel Hunt reckons there could be a 16% increase in profits.He anticipates "positive trends" in each aspect of the business, with expectations that "the Mortgage business [will] do £600 million of new completions, Idem [will] have completed further portfolio acquisitions, and the new bank to be making progress."With Paragon currently trading at roughly 1.1x September 2015 forecast net asset value (NAV), he believes that this "undervalues the future growth in ROE (return on equity)", which is why he retains his 'buy' recommendation.
