Posted at 23/10/2012 08:13 by libertine 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. |

Posted at 08/8/2011 12:42 by pierre oreilly I've just bought back the shares I sold very fortunately (and luckily) a couple weeks ago. Sold them for 353p, bought back just now at 264. Not sure I've done the right thing the way the markets are, but i expect when (or if!) the markets settle down this will do well. Effectively, I've just increased my divi expectations by 25%. |

Posted at 13/7/2011 12:56 by pierre oreilly goldfeverrushTo answer your question, companies making £580m profit are valued at much more than £900m. But mgcr have a turnover of that much, not a profit of that much. Turnover/profit all the same thing to some! They were a little guarded on the second half performance, but ther first half looks excellent. |
Posted at 14/1/2011 11:08 by fireman bob Looks like a good aquisition (profit making business in an emerging market) and they expect it to pay for itself in the next year or so, would explain the use of a scrip dividend last month, through the 3 yr high at 250 and moving up nicely, looking forward to results on 16/2, stunned by the silence though |
