Further to Lookers' Benfield purchase, the papers ran stories yesterday about Volkswagen global sales. Eg.

Data from the giant German company revealed a 3.9pc drop in worldwide deliveries of its VW passenger cars in April compared with the same month a year earlier, falling to 476,700.>/i>

Two weeks to the agm. Concerns about the forthcoming update, in the light of the Benfield purchase? (Just my guess)

Any ideas as to what brought that on?

Lookers ex divi yesterday, hopefully share price will turn upwards over the next few sessions.
More generally, SMMT figures out this morning show New car registrations increased 2.0% in April to 189,505 units. The highest for April since 2003.
2% represents a levelling off versus recent months, however given the record numbers in March this was wholly expected.

Gosh, just popped out to the dentist and we've climbed up nicely while I was out. Some very big buys driving up the price. It's almost paid for my treatment ;-)

Today's news is that UK Volkswagen sales are down 20% in November. Shareholders in Benfield Group (c40% VW Group dealerships ) acquired by Lookers in September must be laughing all the way to the bank. Not so Lookers Bankers who advanced the whole of the £87 million purchase price.

I was reading recently that a lot of VW work will be coming the way of main dealers due to their(VW)shenanigans, which should be good for profits. Onwards and upwards as they say.

Noticeable that Lookers has not participated in recent share price strength in competitors Pendragon and Vertu. Could it be statement with Caffyns results last week "we do however anticipate a slowdown in sales until Volkswagen is able to fully clarify the solutions to the affected vehicles ". Read across Lookers with 25% of dealerships being VW group ?

Perhaps there will be lots of work on the VW recall, and lots of used car biz - then lots of new car sales from the new "clean" VWs? They might sell Jags to the disgruntled VW owners! Just my speculations, but every problem is an opportunity. cheers.

edit - however I agree that it's odd they didn't mention it if only to say that they are taking steps to minimise negative impact on sales.

Forecasts have been updated look a bit on the conservative side to me with the recent acquistion. sorry only peel hunt and numis have taken acquistion into account

Analysts at stockbroker Zeus Capital issued a note this morning stating: "We believe this is a good transaction as it provides more scale to the group with many of its brand partners, management know this business extremely well, and we can see how Lookers can generate a ROCE of c15% from this transaction over time.

"The upshot is that this should enhance 2016E EPS by more than 10%, which puts the stock on less than 10x P/E to December 2016. We are comfortable with 2015 net debt/EBITDA rising towards 1.5x at peak levels, and expect this to steadily fall as the EPS enhancement kicks in. Overall, we are supportive of this transaction."

"We think it’s possible for management to generate £12.5m of PBT from this business on a normalised basis, and with modest synergies this target should be hit in the next 2-3 years in our view."

Hopefully economies of scale and other cost savings will double the Benfield profit - but doubtless there will be acquisition and integration costs too. Looks a good move anyway IMHO.

Looks like the news well received - share price currently up 9%.....

Certainly looks like a great deal....increases revenue from £3bn to £3.7bn which almost catches Pendragon, the largest dealer with revenue of £4bn.

(Of course revenue by no means the most critical factor!)

Quite agree PastyBap - a devalued Chinese currency will also be beneficial for other retailers too. Bit of an overreaction by the market today IMHO.

Probably correct gp1948. And the irony is that a devalued Yuan is probably beneficial for Lookers in that they are net importers from China, and also the deflationary impact will likely keep interest rates lower for longer now....

The whole market is down as a reaction to the devaluation of the Chinese currency. It's not a reflection on the results announced earlier today.
