From Hargreaves Lansdown website 1.11.22:-

BERENBERG LOWERS TARGET ON 'MISPRICED' NEXT FIFTEEN
(Sharecast News) - Analysts at Berenberg lowered their target price on technology and data-driven growth consultancy Next Fifteen from 1,700.0p to 1,450.0p on Tuesday, calling it "a mispriced share".
Berenberg increased its full-year 2023-24 adjusted underlying earnings and earnings per share estimates by 13%/9% and 9%/6%, respectively, due to Next15's "exceptional trading" in the first half of 2022.

The German bank also noted that Next Fifteen has the highest organic growth, 31% year-on-year in the first half, and the "most robust outlook" in the sector, demonstrated by the consistent upgrades delivered year-to-date.

Despite this, Berenberg said the stock still trades "well below" both its historical range and the sector average.

"We believe the shares are mispriced and reiterate our 'buy' rating. We reduce our price target to 1,450.0p (from 1,700.0p) to account for lower peer multiples and higher WACC," said Berenberg.

"Next15's shares have de-rated to near their lowest levels in ten years (excluding the Covid-19 drawdown) and trade below the sector average on 10.5x FY 2023 P/E, falling to 9.5x in FY 2024."

Thanks RedAlert. Seeing a 3% drop is an odd response to a "performing above expectations" statement. Do we know if this is being heavily shorted (on the back of the SAA bid)? I have bought a few. Will add in stages as it still feels like a falling knife. My gut feel is that they may pull back from the bid - or get outbid - leading to an immediate bounce back.If the bid succeeds then the price is still very good value as historically they have blended in acquisitions very quickly leading to an acceleration of organic growth.

Next Fifteen Communciations plc issued a trading update for Q3 this morning, titled, “Broad-based growth across segments drives fourth upgrade this year.” Not a bad summary. The company reported strong revenue growth in Q3 up 38% year-on-year with 26% organic growth. And 34% year-on-year revenue growth in the first nine months with 24% organic growth over a year earlier. Performance was very encouraging across all segments and geographies. FY22 results will be ahead of management expectations. Balance sheet is healthy and valuation is mid-third for the Media & Publishing market. The business has a solid history of growth and it is reasonably profitable growth. Share price also has some momentum. BUY....from WealthOracleAM

Yes agreed I have made a lot of money on this share but now looks crazy overvalued
Posted at 25/10/2021 16:09 by mammyoko
Can anyone please explain what is going on here? I held from £4 to £11 without even vaguely understanding why I made money on this. Naked Trader dumped them at £8 as being over-valued. They made a diluted loss per share of 2.9p in the first half. Even if you buy all their adjusting items they are on a forward p/e of 25x. Are they really that good at what they do? That much better than SAA?

Holders - if you didn't hold, would you really buy here?

Those adjusting items in full again:

Unwinding of discount on deferred and contingent consideration and share purchase obligation payable 3,343 – no idea what this one is

Change in estimate of future contingent consideration and share purchase obligation payable 7,885 – it’s a revision of an estimate. That doesn’t fill me with huge confidence

One-off charge for employee incentive schemes 5,803 – is this really a one-off charge?

Employment-related acquisition payments 5,794 – what on earth is this?

Deal costs 242 – immaterial, I suppose

Property (write back)/impairment (990) – was a £10.9m charge the previous year!

Amortisation of acquired intangibles 8,440 – fair enough

UK furlough grant 1,396 – why is this a cost anyway?

If I remained a holder I would want to REALLY understand what these items are. I mean REALLY.

Current trading and outlook


The Group's strong trading has continued into the third quarter of our financial year, and we are currently seeing no sign of a slowdown in client demand. Despite being against a strong comparable period, we anticipate delivering double digit organic revenue growth in our second half. Our new positioning as a growth consultancy is clearly resonating with our clients and we are confident in a positive financial performance for the rest of the year.


The Group's strong balance sheet provides scope for further investments both in the businesses and in M&A to accelerate our longer term growth.

Commenting on the results, Chair of Next 15, Penny Ladkin-Brand said:


"Our first half results have seen very strong organic revenue and profit growth across all segments and we continue to benefit from the same momentum in our second half. The increasing mix of digital services is providing strong operating leverage although we are also taking the opportunity to accelerate investment in talent and product development to continue to drive longer term growth."

Liontrust: Next Fifteen set for digital driveNext Fifteen Communications (NFC) has positioned itself to capitalise on an increasingly digital economy, say the managers of the Liontrust UK Smaller Companies fund.Anthony Cross and Julian Fosh, who run the £1.3bn portfolio, noted in their latest fund factsheet that shares in the communications and PR group rose 18% in January after its final quarter performance came in ahead of management expectations.'The digital market specialist expects revenue to increase 9% and noted "strong growth" in profit margins, led by robust performances from its B2B technology-focused agencies,' said the Citywire AA-rated duo. 'It added that it feels cautiously optimistic about trading in the next financial year as it capitalises on opportunities arising from the transition to an increasingly digital-driven economy.'Shares in Next Fifteen were flat on Friday, closing at 650p, and are now up a further 4.8% since the end of January.

From NT yesterday:

'I bought some Next Fifteen (NFC) after a very upbeat trading statement.

I don't like buying early usually as the spreads are rubbish but tried a few attempts at getting some using direct market access and eventually got a decent slug.

This PR outfit's share price got hit badly by Covid and struggled to recover but looks now that fears were overdone and its next statement is likely to be really good.'
