8 ball... I am not fully up to date with the figures for NWF, however NWF have their Interim Results out this coming Monday 31st January so that should give us a greater indication of which is the better value.

Gateside.

On value would you agree Wynnstay is still cheaper than NWF.

Interesting to compare NWF with WYN..

I missed out on buying NWF, as I kept waiting for it to fall back and it never did! Not complaining though, as it was NWF that lead me to buy WYN when they moved to AIM last May

Not a lot of shares floating around then..

Having held this for over 3 years I still feel it has a little more left in it.
However it is getting close to my sell target.

The asset value is still high and rising.
The company has in the past paid a good yield, the reason for the current low yield is the sharp rise in the shares price.
I think the company will be looking to increase the dividend.
The introduction of an interim div may be one way.

Also compare this Company with NWF if you want an idea of value..

DiogenesJ... thanks

If others are not aware, I started a thread for news and charts a short while back, and will post news items there, and it is probably best if we keep the chat on here.

Congratulations on your thread, Gateside. This is very useful, and an excellent idea to keep it separate from the general chitchat on the other thread.

I'm out for the moment, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for news that might make me change my mind.

Wynnstay hits £100m mark Jan 27 2005




Rhodri Evans, Western Mail


WELSH agricultural products company Wynnstay Group is poised for continued expansion after seeing its turnover break through the £100m mark.

The group, which sells animal feeds, seeds and fertiliser and has a 24-strong chain of stores running from Mid and North Wales to the Midlands, yesterday announced a strong set of results, its first since its flotation on the Alternative Investment Market in May 2004.

In the year to October 31, the Llansantffraid-based group achieved a pre-tax profit of £2.6m, while turnover increased 22% to £103.4m from £85m in the previous year.

The company is split into three divisions - feeds, arable and stores.

The feeds division saw sales rise 15% in a difficult environ- ment caused by a major fluctu- ation in the price of grain.

It is now planning a new feed blending plant at Rhosfawr in North Wales this year, to cut logistical costs and to respond to changing consumer demand.

Wynnstay managing director Bernard Harris said that discussions were underway with the Welsh Assembly Government and the WDA about Objective One funding for the scheme.

Sales at the company's arable division rose 8% despite the volatility of the price of grain.

Like-for-like sales at the company's stores division, which sells goods such as country clothing and hardware, rose 8%.

The group is improving a number of its 24 stores. It has been granted planning permission to build a new store in Newtown, Powys, having acquired an adjoining site for the scheme. Construction is due to begin in a matter of weeks.

The company is also seeking permission to build a new store at Llansantffraid which, like its current shop, would continue to house the local Post Office.

The company is also rolling out a new trading format which it has tested at its flagship store in Welshpool.

Mr Harris said that the new format was designed to appeal to a range of rural consumers as well as farmers, who were at the core of the company's market. "We want to balance that very carefully with the farming trade," he said.

Looking to the coming year, Wynnstay is expecting changes to the Common Agricultural Policy to speed up the rationalisation trend that is taking place in the farming industry.

"We are seeing the demise of the traditional agricultural merchant, and it is with some sadness I say that," said Mr Harris.

But the managing director said that the Wynnstay Group is well placed to take advantage of that consolidation, because it has a strong war-chest to take advantage of potential acquisitions.

Not only does the company have £1.275m of cash in hand against a total net debt position of £1.6m, its AIM flotation has made it easier to offer equity as part of acquisition deals.

"We have now got a tradeable currency in the shares," said Mr Harris. "One of the big plus factors for us has been the liquidity of the stock."

He said the company would continue to look at acquisitions to grow group turnover, but assured shareholders the group would take a prudent approach.

The company is also looking for strong organic growth, with Mr Harris predicting that both the stores and feeds divisions would benefit from the extra capital investment.

From The Telegraph

Plenty of wellie for Wynnstay
(Filed: 27/01/2005)


Sales of wellington boots, animal feed and fertilisers helped agricultural product supplier Wynnstay report record results for the past year.

The company, which moved from Ofex to Aim last May, said pre-tax profits rose 46pc to £2.6m in the year to October 31. Bernard Harris, managing director, said: "Results are especially creditable for having been achieved in one of the most volatile markets for raw materials in over 30 years."

Wynnstay, whose finance director is Paul Roberts, right, said sales of country clothing increased by 18pc helped by a better range. Sales in the arable division grew 8pc. Mr Harris added: "The feeds division, which accounts for 36pc of group turnover, performed robustly in a most challenging year, with sales rising by 15pc."

Total sales grew 22pc to £103.4m last year. The shares rose 10 yesterday to a new high of 282½p.

Farm firm notches up record year.... from the Shropshire Star

An Oswestry-based agricultural manufacturer and supplier has revealed record trading results, with turnover topping £100 million for the first time.

The Wynnstay Group reported its results for the year to October 31 - described by its chairman as "a milestone year".

The Group, headquartered near Oswestry, has an arable division based near Shrewsbury, 24 Wynnstay stores, and is involved in fuel distribution, horse foods, and property development.

Managing director Bernard Harris said: "All divisions performed well and our results demonstrate the strength of our diversified approach."

Hi stan. Good results, but not quite as good as I was expecting. I think the shares are fair value at their current price, but I agree they are not cheap, so I sold mine today (for a profit of about 20% in two months). I'm hoping to find something a bit more exciting to put the cash into.

They do seem very expensive when valued from an earnings multiple perspective for sure, and i was very surprised the price didn't plummet today as I thought the results were quite disappointing in spite of the cheery tone in which they were presented.

Obviously the management seem quite optimistic re the future and can see opportunities for expansion and growth which is good They seem intent on investing earnings for the future because the divi yield is very lowly although this doesn't bother me if they can get a good return from their reinvestment. But it also means that the share price isn't supported by any yield to shareholders nor by a low p/e ratio.

From a net asset value angle they don't seem overvalued and there don't seem to be any pension nasties lurking which are both positives, and there is the possibility that they may have a really storming year profits wise sometime..though i can't argue this very cogently i'm afraid.

In all honesty I can't really see any reason to hold the shares and can quite easily see the share price falling quite sharply from tomorrow onwards. And yet I still can't make my mind up whether to sell or hold on for the very long term...the results have thrown me a bit and normally when i feel like this i regret not selling when i can get out at a good price.

Nice to see old friends on this board though...greetings Diogenes...have u sold or are you a holder still i wonder.
