Results Doesn't seem to be making much headway here and I was expecting a small profit-very dissapointing, looks like thats a few years away so I am out

Re: Today's Results Yes, I would agree with you Oxtrader. Alliance is doing OK but nothing spectacular. Its net margins are good but ROCE is nothing special and the results show little bottom line growth. I like the increasing focus on consumer healthcare as this involves brands which should help margins and provide products which last for ever. Comments from management in the results confirm my impression that a major deal is in the works and I think this expectation has been driving the share price.

Re: Results I think you are somewhat missing the fundamental takeaways from the results. You shouldn't apply a historic PE ratio to a business that has discontinued part of its business during the 1st half of the year.The £7m loss in the 1st half accompanied by a placing to strengthen working capital on the balance sheet was replaced by £14m profit in the 2nd half. Management also clearly state that the contracts that were taken on during the recession that created these losses have now been completed.so how does the business look. Well the order book is up 7%, margins in the contraction division have been improved and analysts expect this years earnings to be somewhere in the 27-30p range with potential for upgrades and a 5.5% yield. That puts the stock on a PE of 6-7 at the current price. Order book at 1.1bn+ means visibility over around 65% of this years earnings, which is also good and cash generation expected to improve markedly.whether that means the stock is now fairly valued or significantly undervalued is ones own judgement call - for what it is worth the analysts think 300-330p is around fair value.

Numis upgrades Hargreaves Lansdown Numis analyst James Hamilton has upgraded Hargreaves Lansdown (HRGV) from ‘hold’ to ‘add’ after the investment broker’s annual results yesterday.Although full-year profits fell 5% to £199 million Hamilton raised his share price target to £12.80 in the belief that the volume of new business would offset a decline in margins.‘We continue to believe that Hargreaves Lansdown justifies a significant premium valuation given its dominant market position in a growth segment of a growth market,’ he said.‘We expect substantial industry growth due to the increase in self investment and the shift from defined benefit pensions to defined contribution pensions. We also expect [pensions] auto-enrolment to significantly increase the proportion of the population with money to manage, most of which will have to be done through self-invested platforms like Hargreaves Lansdown due to the scale of these pension assets.’He added that ‘real industry growth’ will also boost the firm, which will reap ‘scale benefits’ which are unmatched in the industry.The shares closed 7% or 79p higher at £11.94.[link]

Re: Investec Interesting upgrade, but the price is coming from a grossly over valued position.What is the attraction with PZ Cussons?It hasn't grown it's business in years, at a time when most other companies have done significantly. It's revenue last year was £819M, yet it was at this level (£820M actually) in 2011. During that time it's pre-tax profit actually fell from £108M to £84M. The only thing that is rising here is the dividend -- surely that is going to be difficult to sustain in the face of collapsing emerging market currencies and the impact that will have reporting back in £ sterling. At the moment it's supposedly 2X covered but not sure about the cash cover if anybody knows this.If you look at it's market's they look highly risky - Nigeria is rife with unrest and could be a tinderbox of trouble going forward.Wouldn't you be better to sell PZ and invest in Unilever which has a higher :-ROCE = 101% compared to 22% for PZDividend Yield = 3.3% (but lower cover) compared to 2.8% for PZEarnings growth rate expected in high single digit teens compared to low for PZMuch broader global reach for Unilever with a more balanced business worldwide and stronger in the western countries.All told, Unilever looks like a better option from a growth perspective and with lowered risk, having less % exposure to war torn regions.Having said that, PZ share price has fallen another 4.7% today, so at some juncture it will still be a buy -- below 250 maybe, if it gets there.Games
