The odds on a takeover bid materialising for Yule Catto shortened considerably when shares of the chemicals maker crashed 38.9p, or 22 per cent, to a 52-week low of 138p on a shock profits warning.
Investors bailed out after the company said it expects business to be hit by the volatile euro and by weak demand for nitrile in Asia, a region where it was increasingly shifting its focus.
Nitrile is a speciality chemical used in the manufacturing of latex – a very fine quality of rubber used in the making of rubber gloves. Yule Catto had said in March that it expected sales from emerging markets to offset low growth in developed markets but now the board reckons demand will remain weak until next year.
Speciality chemical companies have in recent years been swallowed like flies.
International bidders have swooped on those companies that make anything from additives for everyday products, such as paints, to materials used in the semiconductor industry. The diversity of their businesses makes the sector recession proof, as the need for their chemicals will always be there.
Yule Catto last year was the subject of intense speculation that either Dow Chemical or BASF of Germany was prepared to fork out £1.2bn or 350p a share in cash to swallow the Harlow-based company.
Any interested party would have to get the green light from Kuala Lumpur Kepong, which owns 19 per cent of Yule Catto's equity and has been a major shareholder since 1976.

yep great results, I was a bit squeaky bottom pre market on how investors would interpret the exceptionals. But now they are out of the way, looks like a great base for 2012/13. If forecasts are anything to go by current share price seems a great discount to its peers (2012 81%, 2013 111%)

Chairman says...
'When we announced the acquisition of PolymerLatex we committed to deliver hard synergies of at least GBP20 million from the combination of both polymer businesses. I am pleased to say that, at the end of 2011, only nine months after the acquisition, we had already established a synergy run rate (annualised rate of delivery) of GBP15 million. The Board now anticipates we will achieve an annual run rate of GBP25 million by March 2013.'....which is nice...

Yes, and PE for this year of around about 8.5 - that must look cheap to most investors when you're looking at 20%+ growth in store this year imo.

I dare say most investors feel like you petersinthemarket.

For that reason I'm bullish. I think shares are oversold andwhenb they reveal news more often than not they surprise to the upside.

Trading update here on Thurs - let's see what the reaction is like - BASF, ELM etc all seem to have been better than expected recently.

good post peters in,but I hate trading, I'd like to think I'm an investor, but a take the point that you make.

I think the problem for companies like Yule is that there is no rush to buy the shares. Markets are weakening and that will mean that earnings are potentially weak. The low dividend doesn't help, if this co paid a better proportion of the earnings as dividend then far more investors would be interested as the yield would be attractive.

excellent results IMO but too much caution in the report. Doesnt take much of a low note to make investors nervous right now.

As STEVENLONDON3 said "cheap fundamnetals with possibility of a bid must appear a low risk bet for some investors"...

Anyway this from FTAlphaville....


NH
this Yule Catto bid story
NH
won't die
Yule Catto and Co PLC (YULC:LSE): Last: 250.70, up 7.5 (+3.08%), High: 253.50, Low: 243.20, Volume: 955.11k
NH
i wonder
NH
we get the rumours
NH
then we get the approach?
NH
it's happened a few times recently
NH
and this company is way more interesting that we had given it credit for
BE
Really? Haven't looked at it properly for years, truth be told.
BE
What's interesting in latex?
NH
well first
NH
they have a big shareholder
NH
Kuala Lumpur Kepong
NH
this is owned by some billionaire
NH
and some people think he's been approached for his stake
NH
19%
NH
via HSBC
NH
the sort of people that could be interested are
NH
BASF
NH
Clariant
NH
Dow Chemical
NH
and something called Styron
NH
Now
NH
this company is interesting
NH
is because
NH
the rubber glove market is growing very quickly
NH
10-15% a year
NH
the reason for the growth
NH
is that every time you visit the dentist
NH
they change gloves for a different patient
NH
the same in hospitals
NH
and then there's synthetic rubber gloves
NH
which are growing fast
NH
because people are allergic to rubber
BE
I see.
BE
And, multiply that over emerging markets and you come up with some proper growth.
NH
indeed
NH
and Yule Catto
NH
have corned this market
NH
they won't admit
NH
but the recent deal they did
NH
gave them something like a 40% market share
NH
don't know how they got it past the regulators
NH
but they did
NH
it was also their biggest rival
NH
and huge in Malaysia
NH
where most of the world's rubber comes from
BE
What was the name of the acquisition again?
NH
The PolymerLatex Group, headquartered in Germany, is an established player in the development, production and distribution of emulsion polymer products.
NH
they bought in December
NH
and this was the reasons offered as to why
NH
Specifically, the Directors believe that the Acquisition of PolymerLatex delivers a number of strategic benefits to Yule Catto, including:

- building Yule Catto's position in the xSBR latex market by adding European manufacturing assets, new end markets and applications development capabilities, enabling Yule Catto to compete more effectively in this market segment;
- providing Yule Catto with access to additional modern, purpose-built nitrile latex capacity in Malaysia, offering the opportunity to expand Yule Catto's product offering in the growing synthetic latex protective gloves market. The PolymerLatex Group's manufacturing facilities in Malaysia also offer growth opportunities for Yule Catto in xSBR in the Asian market; and
- providing Yule Catto with access to additional manufacturing process expertise, research and development and technical service capabilities.
NH
there you go
NH
rubber gloves a growth market
NH
and once again
NH
we discover a world leading gem
NH
among the FTSE 250
NH
amazing how many decent industrial companies
NH
you can find
BE
As demonstrated by the increasing number of bids in that band recently.
NH
indeed

The share is still on a low rating...buying on cheap fundamnetals with possibility of a bid must appear a low risk bet for some investors. The share price is only 8p above its february high.
