Questor: Vimto’s maker has enough juice in the tank that we aren’t giving up on it yet


Questor share tip: Brisk international sales growth makes this company’s future look surprisingly upbeat

Hmmm, seems a little like money for nothing to me. Awarded at nil cost, two years to vest and no conditions attached apart from still be employed by NICL. In round numbers, CEO to pick up ~ £500K in two years, and the rest ~ £50K. Nice work if you can get it.

I assume that these shares will come from Treasury, the ones they bought back last year, otherwise that's a further dilution for the rest of us. Either way just added a few more to my current SB trade.

Might have to wait until half year to see what management are proposing re possible new capital structure and / or distribution of excess cash to shareholders. Would help the shares if they hurried up a little, and announced what the plan is soonish. Especially if share buy back and cancellation, from whoever has been wanting to sell recently.

I suspect that there is an "overhang" in the NICL market. Business updates good, demonstrable progress, strong cash flow, new CFO and intention to review capital structure and return of excess cash to shareholders; yet the share price is lacklustre / weak.

Two things strike me :

1) Previous merger of two fund management co's, which led to a 5%+ holding in NICL, maybe a natural reduction to balance their new combined overall portfolio has been / is underway.

2) A Nichol family member left the business last autumn, remember he ran the OoH business. As a family member he held a significant number of shares. Maybe he is reducing his holding now he has left the business.

Now, this is just speculation on my part, as I have no direct knowledge, but it does feel like there has been a persistent selling pressure over many months.

HSBC raises Nichols price target to 1,350 (1,300) pence - 'buy'

Panmure starts Nichols with 'buy' - price target 1,260 pence

Just about everyone by the look of it.

964p - 998p and the 1 share AT 'buy' @ 998p signal has just appeared.

May as well dump mine before it disappears up it's own @rse. This has been a very disappointing holding.

Wicked drop today.

That's the trouble with NICL ad many small caps . The spread gets well messed about with.

1075.00 - 1115.00

* Nichols NICL.L : HSBC raises target price to 1300p from 1200p
Posted at 08/1/2024 15:26 by disneydonald
The key issue for the trading update to see if they update on write downs for OoH business. The Vimto packaged business is pretty bullet proof, and any six year could run it profitably. However, it seems current management have have got a grip of the OoH business after years of laissez faire management, and signalled that more write downs expected second half 2023, but benefits in 2024.

Other interesting issues to consider (although unlikely to be in trading update), are founders grandson resigned (he ran the OoH business), maybe disagreements on restructuring. Also, recovery of bonus's paid to management, as £4m write down taken last year as HMRC case settled in favour of HMRC. Will NICL really recover that amount from past and previous management ?

No trading updates (profit warnings) 2023 second half, so should meet market expectations for "adjusted" profits, which mean there is almost certainly "exceptionals" to be taken, hopefully minor and the last. Next year could be the start of a significant rerating.

I'm guessing that because Rathbones (not the bread people :)) and Investec have merged their asset management / Wealth Management businesses, and they released RNS declaring that Rathbones now holds ~ 6.4% in NICL. Since the RNS (25th September), there has been an increase in trading volumes and I am guessing that Rathbones are reducing their stake to below 5%, which would mean a sale of ~ 500,000 shares. Maybe that is causing a little indigestion.

Either way, at 936 (with very narrow spread) I decided to add some more, even though I am slightly wary about the potential for share price appreciation pending next set of results.

I assume that NICL CFO (Interim) will know if the above is the case, via NICL Brokers who would be able to determine if any selling pressure. I suppose that NICL could buy a few back for cancellation at these prices, or even tempt the Exec's to buy a few ?
