Have to say I was very impressed with the Investor Meet presentation yesterday.

Worth a watch if you didn't catch it.

Regards to all.

Why aren't retail investors invited to participate in today's Capital markets day?

Steady growth over 15 years paying increasing and even special dividends as well but under the radar of most investors?

Re brokers - they meet with management and without being given explicit sensitive information they read between the lines and are steered towards general market dynamics to produce independent forecasts / brokers notes. But I agree that as a private investor it is sometimes possible to do this equally well as an individual.

I don't understand what these brokers actually do to communicate the strategy - The company seem to do this quite clearly. Mostly broker's information is not even accessible by retail investors. So that leaves institutions and family offices. Surely these people can read Annual Reports and trading updates?

Seriously what do brokers do?

Fourteen High Quality Small-caps by Algy Hall, Investors Chronicle, 4th September 2020.

The impact of Covid-19 has meant I’ve recently needed to change the criteria used by a number of the screens I run, and this week I am having to make a number of alterations to my High Quality Small-cap stock screen.

In the case of this screen, the necessity of change in order to generate positive results is perhaps no bad thing. I changed the large-cap version of this quality screen a few years ago and the results have been good, whereas the small-cap screen using the old criteria has failed to impress over the same period.

Nevertheless, from a longer-term perspective the screen continues to boast a good record with a cumulative total return since inception in 2012 of 154 per cent compared with 79 per cent from a 50:50 split between the FTSE All Small and Aim indices. While the screen results are meant as a source of ideas for further research rather than an off-the-shelf portfolio, if I factor in a 2 per cent annual charge to represent high small-cap dealing costs, the cumulative total return drops to 116 per cent.

The changes I am making to the screen involve: (i) making the key quality criteria more demanding (return on equity and operating margins now need to be in the top quarter rather than top half of stocks screened); (ii) dropping the requirement for sustained improvement in quality due to the impact of Covid and the breadth of the hit across sectors; (iii) changing the forecast growth criteria to one based on the next 24 months to account for expectations of a short-term earnings drop for most companies; (iv) softening the valuation criteria as ‘cheap’ quality shares, while always rare, currently seem very much a thing of the past. The screen’s amended criteria are:

PE ratio above bottom fifth and below top fifth of all stocks screened.
Earnings growth forecast over the next 24 months.
Interest cover of five times or more.
Positive free cash flow.
Market capitalisation over £20m.
A top-quarter return on equity (RoE) in each of the past three years.
A top-quarter operating margin in each of the past three years.
Operating profit growth over the past three years.

In total 14 shares passed the screen’s revamped tests, 12 of which herald from Aim. The results are given in the table below along with fundamental data including the price/earnings ratio (PE) based on forecast annual earnings per share (EPS) 24 months out (referred to in the table as Fwd PE 2-yr rolling).

While forecasts that look so far ahead should always be taken with a liberal pinch of salt, especially for under-researched small-caps, this PE still hopefully gives a vague idea of potential valuation after the worst of the Covid hit is out the way.
