Meanwhile, Barclays Capital upped its recommendation on media group UBM (LON:UBM) to 'overweight' (from 'equal weight') believing now is a good entry point for investors, with the shares underperformaing the FTSE 250 by 16 per cent since the beginning of the year.

The bank added: "We are upgrading UBM to Overweight with a 755p price target [up from 745 pence] because 1) we expect Events organic revenue growth to improve from here; 2) we think fears on the fashion portfolio are now overdone; and 3) we remain positive on the exhibitions business model (96% of UBM's SOTP value)."

A 12 PE ratio and over 4% yield attracts in a sector average PE of 15 space.

On track and well owned, I see GS are a conviction buyer with an 890p target.

Good luck investors.

Rumour of the day

Shares in United Business Media fell 11.9p to 461.8p despite a suggestion by Panmure Gordon that the media group's events business might be doing better than investors had believed. The broker said that exhibitor numbers had risen by 13 per cent at the group's annual Furniture China event and were up 14 per cent at its Hong Kong jewellery show.

United Business Media plc
symbol:UBM


FTSE 250-listed company United Business Media doesn't make a lot of headlines itself. But through its press-release distribution business, PR Newswire, it helps to create much of the news in your daily paper. Its other global business is CMP, specialising in business-to-business media and events. CMP is a diverse print and online B2B media empire, with titles as wide-ranging as Network Computing, SearchMedica.com (a web search engine for doctors) and the Farmer's Guardian.

In recent years, UBM has reduced its reliance on old-fashioned newsprint, and moved into faster-growing areas such as online publishing and event organisation. In fact, print brought in less than 50% of last year's revenues of £775 million, and is set to decline further. We are impressed with UBM's ability to reinvent itself, and forecast 2-5% revenue growth for most divisions, with profit margins stable or advancing slightly.

One of UBM's most attractive qualities is its generous shareholder returns policy. The company has an ongoing share buy-back programme, and plans to return £150 million of its cash surplus to shareholders by the end of 2007. It's also possible that UBM will sell PR Newswire, valued at around £500 million. In the past, the company has returned sales profits to shareholders in the form of special dividends.

Meanwhile, UBM's asset mix looks set for long-term growth, and acquisitions would provide further horsepower. Management has a strong track record of delivering returns quickly from new businesses. We estimate the company has headroom of £500 million, and expect this to be used for acquisitions. If no suitable targets can be found, the company may return more cash to shareholders.

While we are bearish on the Media sector as a whole, UBM stands out for its growing internet business. Also, despite one of the higher growth rates in its B2B publishing peer-group, it is valued at a discount on its P/E ratio, which looks unjustified. We therefore have an Accumulate recommendation on the stock.

This year, we expect to see the share price move from 714p up towards our fair value estimate of 800p, putting UBM on a P/E ratio similar to its competitors. Investors looking for a company with solid returns, attractive assets and excellent dividend potential may want to hold the front page for UBM.
