Foxtons dropped 5.7 per cent to 164p on a downgrade to “neutral”; from joint house broker Credit Suisse, which in 2013 had co-led the estate agent’s 230p a share flotation.


Heading into a general election year, the London outlook creates “extreme uncertainty” for Foxtons’ commissions and transaction levels, the broker said.
An average annual increase of 9 per cent since 1996 may demonstrate the resilience of London housing as an asset class but valuations are now looking stretched at more than seven times average earnings, Credit Suisse told clients.
It forecast London prices to fall 2 per cent this year, which would stall Foxtons’ earnings growth.
Halifax mortgage data for December showing the UK housing market continuing to cool was weighing elsewhere in the sector.
Property website Zoopla lost 5.8 per cent to 181.5p. Just seven months after its flotation, Zoopla has become London’s third most-shorted large-cap with more than 15 per cent of its free float on loan.

Indeed! London market will be soft. That's where Zoopla rules the roost. RMV focus mostly outside London. Goldman's CONVICTION BUY with 3600p target

Market Report: Foxtons shares reverse as City foresees a rocky road for London property

Credit Suisse has trimmed its earnings forecasts for upmarket estate agents Foxtons by 10%, warning that the year ahead is not looking as rosy as last.

The bank says the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ recent market survey points to a slow-down in activity, and the upcoming general election will only add to uncertainty in the property market. Foxtons tumbled 8.75p to 165.5p.

Shares in Foxtons (FOXT) have been sliding for a while – the market anticipating that sooner or later London’s poshboy Estate Agent would serve up a profits warning. Last week it duly obliged but even at 158p post warning the shares remain a pretty safe short for Christmas.

The warning was explicit:

Market volumes in Q3 have been more in line with the first half of 2013 and we now believe that market volumes in H2 2014 overall will be significantly below levels during the same period last year. Consequently, we expect full year 2014 adjusted EBITDA to be below the prior year figure of £49.6m.

The market cap is now £447 million and the company is debt free and has some income attractions but earnings visibility is dreadful. You can bet the ranch on there being more profits warnings.

London property prices are insane. Bubbles do not deflate they burst. At some stage in 2015 interest rates will rise and anyone who has bought on a leveraged basis in the Capital in the past few years will soon feel the squeeze. As an illiquid assets houses need only a small preponderance of sellers over buyers or vice versa to see sharp moves in process.

Moreover we have an election looming and if the next Government is either Labour or a LibLab pact then a mansion tax is inevitable and that will clobber very many Londoners. In my view UKIP will not win many seats at all but it will take enough Tory votes to hand a couple of dozen Tor seats to Labour. Lord Ashcroft’s polling makes that clear. That is one very good reason NOT to buy a house in London ahead of next May and indeed perhaps for older folks to sell and downsize ahead of the tax.

An EBTDA multiple of just over ten looks pretty dam full for a company with real earnings visibility but Foxtons has none. Another profits warning before Christmas is almost inevitable and this it still looks like a safe Santa short to pay for Christmas. Or for many who live in London, for their 2015 post-election Mansion Tax bill.

AISHAH. Whilst buyback are good the problem is in this case they simply mask a problem. That of lack of growth. This is a real problem. They artificially push up share price. In fact I would rather the money back as a higher dividend. Thankfully my average buy price including costs is 21.73 without the divs so I am still in profit but am seriously worried about this company.

Some good strength today. Let see if it can break through 2330. I may sell then.

Having been a fan of this stock for the last few years I wish I'd now sold at 28. Can't see anywhere for it to go now. They haven't capitalised on their position and it is an easy business model to replicate. The simple addition of an online estate agent would have given them the ultimate edge and undoubtedly let them win in this space. As it is however with this lack of innovation and a slowing house market I can only see one way for this stock. I need to plan an exit route.

Continous Buybacks; Goldmans CONVICTION BUY with £36 target.

Worst case scenario already in price. RMV still buying back 25000 shares daily that's over £500000 daily

[gclark] 22/12/2014 10:40

This has got to be overvalued with the launch of OnTheMarket.com next month. The margins on RMV have been huge and this must mark the moment when margins come down, IMHO. DYOR

Also I would have thought that the stamp duty changes would have had an impact on share price but nothing?!

[kitbag1984] 06/12/2014 22:20

We really need to see some innovation from them now. They can't just rest on their laurels while others take market share and reduce margin.
