Cheers Spellbrook.

I think IC will be covering these in the next few days so their update might be interesting.

Comment by Beaufort on yesterdays TS -

While this excellent progress does not come as a great surprise, it conveniently reminded us that Watkin Jones' management is operating the right business model at the right time. The alternative asset class of Privately Built Student Accommodation offers both excellent cash flow visibility and highly stable property-sector yields from operations that tend to be well insulated from underlying economic activity. As such, it is able to pre-sell and forward-fund its projects through a long list of hungry institutional buyers – like M&G, L&G, AIG etc. - creating an ideal high return, high visibility, capital light model that is almost unique in the world of residential development. With just 6% of the UK's total full-time student population currently occupying PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation), at a time when government legislation is limiting HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) supply and introducing higher stamp duty on buy-to-let property, the sector is expected to enjoy quite significant growth for years to come while capital growth continues to sharpen returns. Significant demand headroom in all regions, suggests little or no impact should Brexit manage to dissuade some EU students from seeking UK educations. The shares have performed reasonably well since IPO, but there is still more to go for. The Group is set to deliver double digit earnings growth (implying a 2016E P/E of 8.9x, followed by 7.9x) for the next several years, with tightly controlled operating costs combined with a generous progressive dividend. With significant net cash still in hand following the IPO, management remains confident enough to project a yield to September 2016 of over 4% (based on second-half payment only), followed by 6.2% for full year 2016/17; beyond this, surplus generation could also find its way into shareholder's pockets through specials as well. Beaufort sees good value in Watkin Jones and now raises its price target to 148p (125p previously) on the shares, which it recommends to both income and growth investors.

Shanklin - in 27 Sep they did flag another 418 beds currently being acquired for 2018 (in adition to the 6317). Today's update adds another 79 beds to that.

FWLIW, in today's RNS, WJG report the addition of 497 beds to the pipeline reported in the update of 27-Sep-16

- 21 developments, 6814 beds as of 30-Sep-16
- 19 developments, 6317 beds as of 27-Sep-16

I wonder what the number is now.

Can't see the problem. Developments completed on time, excellent future pipeline of projects, good earnings visibility, progress at Fresh Living. No negative connotations. What's not to like?

I confess I am a bit disappointed by the lack of information. At the same time as Shankliin says, they are new to this and the message is that "we are on track for this year and (probably) next"

Shanklin, fair point. Anyway, these seem to be the NOMAD expectations:

2016-09-30 Revenue: £270.70m, PBT £39.50m, eps 12.40p, div 4.00p

Their expectations are not going to be lower than market expectations so that is slightly unfair. Also at this stage, WJG are probably blindly following their NOMAD's guidance as to what they can put in an RNS, so I would associate any black mark with them rather than WJG.

Trading statement:



Usual gripe: The Board expects to report a successful financial year with trading in line with its expectations

But we don't know what those expectations were, so that's a rather empty remark!
