LONDON (SHARECAST) - Morgan Crucible's shares jumped Friday after Goldman Sachs upgraded the UK manufacturer to 'buy' from 'neutral'.

Shares climbed 2.49% to 279.70p at 15:55 following the investment banking firm's report Thursday which said Morgan Crucible's valuation represented a 'compelling entry point' for investors considering acquiring stock.

The shares have underperformed in the sector by 26% over the past year in EUR terms. The group issued a profit warning in its 2012 third-quarter report along with a number of UK cyclicals.

It now trades at a discount of 30% to European Capital stocks making it good value for investors.

"We believe Morgan Crucible is continuing on its path to improve the quality of its portfolio," Goldman Sachs said.

"The group is shifting its focus towards higher value added business that is specifically tailored to individual customers. Morgan has also achieved positive price pass-through in each year since 2005, including the 2009 recession, and we believe it can continue to deliver pricing in excess of cost inflation into 2013/14."

The largest UK manufacturers of carbon and ceramic products for industrial use has significant exposure to the rebounding Asian economies, the bank added.

Morgan Crucible may be a take-over target, analysts say
Tue 23 Oct 2012

MGCR - Morgan Crucible Co

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Morgan Crucible, the British maker of ceramics used in wind-turbine blades, has become a potential take-over target, analysts believe.

That after its share price tumbled by 33% -albeit from 14 year highs- in 2012, on the back of a slowdown in revenue growth and a worsening profit outlook, Bloomberg says.

Thus, shares of the Windsor, England-based company are now trading at their lowest valuation relative to earnings since 2009. Even based on analysts' reduced estimates for next year Morgan Crucible is still cheaper than 81% of similar-sized specialty-chemicals producers for the materials industry, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

In fact, just this month US conglomerate 3M launched a take-over of Morgan Crucible's peers, Ceradyne, and a company such as the former US outfit could now be interested in having a go at Morgan Crucible so as to capitalize on its relatively low valuation, Panmure Gordon believes.

While sales and orders may remain depressed in the months ahead, Peel Hunt analyst Dominic Convey says an acquirer still may find value in the business, given the firm's "very strong market positions in niche segments." From that perspective, "then it is an attractive target," he added.

Nevertheless, not all analysts are of the same view, as is the case with those from Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).

Lastly, another option mooted by some is a merger with rival Cookson.

Well that was a quick way of losing 2 grand. Been buying and selling this for a few years (nothing fancy or quick, just buy and wait a few months, sell if a decent profit and wait for several months for the price to go lower and repeat, always made a profit up to now, but bought back in three days ago, and sold today for my first time loss in these. Just undoes one of the profits, but baddish luck all the same I think. May buy back in if they fall another 10/20% over the next few weeks.

Quote from digital look


Mark Robertshaw, the Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Crucible purchased 35,000 shares in the the FTSE 250 industrial materials group on the same day stock broker Jefferies hailed the stock as cheap, compared to its sector peers.

Robertshaw purchased the shares at 290.00p for a total of £101,500, increasing his stake in the company to just under 0.54m shares, equal to 0.19% of the issued share capital.

The broker said that, "any share price weakness today [Tuesday] should be considered a medium term buying opportunity".
