Mid-week Tip

Infrastructure spending benefits

Cirencester-based Hercules Site Services  (LSE: HERC) got off to a good start when trading in the shares of the labour supply company commenced at the beginning of February. The share price opened at 52.5p but it has subsequently fallen below the 50.5p placing price. Hercules can provide civil engineer and construction clients with workers that have a wide range of skills including bricklayers, carpenters, ground workers, security and site engineers.The company also hires out suction excavators and sometimes there are cross selling opportunities with the labour supply business. Clients include Balfour Beatty, Thames Water, Costain, Kier and Highways England. Last year, one customer accounted for one-quarter of revenues and another for 23%. In the year to September 2021, revenues recovered to £32.8m, although pre-tax profit fell from £1.01m to £516,000. The decline in profit was due to a £601,000 bad debt owed by NMCN, the first in the history of Hercules, and £297,000 of costs related to the AIM flotation. Excluding those, the pre-tax profit was £1.4m. Coronavirus grants fell from £249,000 to £53,000. A dividend of 1.7p a share has been declared for the year to September 2021. The shares go ex-dividend on 28 April. Hercules Real Estate has waived this dividend. The target yield based on the placing price is 3.5%. At  47p with a Mkt Cap of  £28m Hercules is in a market where there should be continued capital investment and demand for skills that are in short supply. Buy.
