Liberum have issued a new 36 page Buy note this morning, with a 200p price target....

Here's their summary:

"Inspired Plc

The transition to a more diversified business is on track

The FY 23 results were slightly ahead of our estimates. We make four key points on the business: 1) Inspired has evolved from a Third-Party Intermediary (TPI) in the energy market to a technology-enabled services provider; 2) synergies between divisions help cross-selling and make Inspired uniquely qualified to help with both sides of the energy equation (cost + consumption); 3) underlying EBITDA is expected to double in five years (FY 22-27), indicating 24% upside to our FY 26 estimate; 4) the business is becoming less reliant on Energy Assurance profits, which helps increase earnings quality. In terms of valuation, a CY 24 P/E of 4.6x is attractive given the growth.

Key points

FY 23 results were slightly ahead.
Optimisation was the star performer.
Net debt (exc. leases) was flat at the H1 23 level of £49m.
Contingent consideration being paid.

Value drivers

Scope to grow in areas like Optimisation, Software and ESG.
These should accelerate growth and increase the valuation multiple.
A huge addressable market.

What market misses

Assurance <50% of FY 23 EBITDA.
Only Ignite consideration after FY 24.
Target to double EBITDA by FY 27 is achievable and suggests that there is prudence built into our estimates.

Is there value?

A CY 24 P/E of 4.6x is GARP.
SoTP suggests TP of 200p.
345p from DCF, with 9.2% WACC.
Currently a low carbon beta, but ESG credentials add to appeal"

There’s a storm brewing in energy contract mis selling, may not involve INSE, but going to make investors a bit wary.

If INSE had good news they would share it. Newsflow is usually not positive on AIM.

Be careful what you ask for.

Strategic Equity Capital plc, who have a £7.32m investment in INSE, note in their interims today that a the shares fell "despite strong current trading and limited newsflow".

They summarise as follows:

"Inspired Energy

Investment Thesis

UK B2B corporate energy services and procurement specialist with strong ESG credentials
Leading player in a fragmented industry; significant opportunity to gain market share through client wins, proposition extension and M&A
Valued at a substantial discount to comparable private market transaction multiples

Developments

High energy costs have driven accelerated growth in optimisation services

ESG revenues accelerating from a low base"

INSE will announce their results on 26th March:



As a reminder, Liberum forecast £16.2m PBT for last year, rising to £18.3m PBT this year.

That equates to 13p EPS rising to 13.7p EPS this year - a P/E of just 5.2.

Liberum also forecast a 2.7p dividend for last year, rising to 2.9p this year (a 4.3% yield).

As ever under lying rubbish and ESG talk

No dividend and share price trashed v 5 years ago

No divi no profits

Indeed it does. INSE is at last rediscovering its mojo.

Nicely in line with Liberum's forecasts at £25m EBITDA and likely £16.2m PBT, which implies around 13p EPS.

That's a historic P/E of only 5.6.

Net debt should come down sharp-ish from here and is also in line with expectations taking the January inflows into account.

Revenues are actually below forecast, which makes INSE's performance even better as margins are rising and product mix improving, so with continued revenue gains then profits should climb fast.

Above all, the business seems to be thriving and the outlook is confident. Optimisation is striding ahead up 13%, ESG is now EBITDA-profitable and growing revenues annually at 100%, and Software is also growing nicely at 15% with high margins.

The outlook is very strong:

"The Group started Q1 2024 strongly with substantial cash generation as the working capital investment in Q4 2023 unwound and is confident in the outlook for FY24.

This momentum is expected to continue, giving the Board confidence in its previously stated aspiration to maintain double-digit organic growth and, by FY27, double Adjusted EBITDA organically from that achieved in FY22. The associated cash generation will also lead to a deleveraging of the Group in relative and absolute terms."

Founding directors regularly exit without an ensuing collapse in share price. The problem for this stock seems to be their appalling record in communicating with the market never mind shareholders. If the business is as sound as Dixon claimed at the last interim, he has an amazing way of disguising it. Was he kicked out or did he retire? If its the Fletcher sale you are referring to that was a deal with an institutional holder who was bound in for 12 months. Just watched the 2019 presentation about the purchase and potential of Ignite where he talks about their 10 customers creating £12 million revenue and hoping to sell on to their own potential 500 customers. What happened there I wonder. There was a good example of how hard it can be to get customer confidence, with the story about getting WH Smith on board, after showing how they could save them a lot of money. Then psycho Putin got going with his desire to become some kind of Czar. Initially Inse claimed they would benefit from this, obviously not yet. The question is will their ambition ever get back on track. Full year will reveal more in January

Cheers Saj. I got the usual no response from investor email. All is well ? With the share price falling back to new lows again. I know they cant direct the share price, but clearly increasing debt does not impress the market for such a lowly venture, especially when it exceeds profit.there is no disguising the figures.Why has nobody bought it out at this alleged bargain price? Has not proved itself to the market yet. Just my luck if this is the one company Wotton has got massively wrong. Actually there are other like rcdo and brk, but nowhere near as bad as Inse. Fortunately out of both those now. The thing is can the money be put to better use? The divi is ok but not great, paid out of debt. Will be lots more than fund managers looking for a decent exit. Should have taken 10p or a pound equivalent. Going to be a rather long haul otherwise.

The Investment Company PLC/Chelverton have evidently been buying per today's RNS and have accumulated a 6.3% holding in INSE, with 6.335m shares:



Chelverton Asset Management had a 4.7% holding in INSE at 14th August with 4.72m shares per INSE's web site, so I assume they've bought another 1.6m or so shares.

Chelverton were appointed as the Investment Company's external investment portfolio manager in July. Perhaps the new holding is a combo of both their holdings now (the Investment Company haven't previously had a holding in INSE).
