"Two high-growth small-caps I’d buy to retire on

Small-cap investing can be a bit of a hit or miss venture, but I believe looking to smaller stocks that are less frequently covered by analysts can unearth some great companies whose shares trade at bargain prices while offering phenomenal long-term capital appreciation prospects. And I think I’ve discovered two such under-the-radar options in speciality electronics manufacturer Acal (LSE: ACL)....

Exploiting its niche with aplomb

Acal started out as a pure distributor of speciality electronics for customers in sectors as varied as photonics, communications, magnetics and sensors. But after years of serving as a go-between for manufacturers and customers, it realised there were gaps in the market that it could fill with its own products.

And thus the company’s design and manufacturing (D&M) segment was born. This part of the business now accounts for over half of all sales and is growing at a rapid clip through organic expansion and acquisitions. In the year to March, sales from this division grew 28% year-on-year (y/y) to £175.6m and accounted for over 80% of the group’s £20m in underlying operating profit. On top of growing faster than group overage, operating margins of 11.5% last year were more than triple that of the distribution side of the business.

Now, the distribution business still has a role to play in gathering market intelligence, providing a reliable sales outlet for the groups in-house products and increasing cross-selling from its myriad manufacturing companies.

And for investors like myself who prefer their small-caps profitable and with a healthy balance sheet, its relatively small £30m in net debt presents a very manageable sum. With a great record of organic and acquisition-led growth, rising margins and a respectable 2.8% dividend yield, I believe Acal is a great business trading at a very reasonable valuation of 13.7 times forward earnings."

"2 hot value stocks for growth and dividend hunters
By The Motley Fool 17 Jul 2017, 12:19

Investor appetite for Acal(LSE: ACL) shows no signs of slowing down. Just today the electronics play hit new record tops north of 300p per share, taking total gains during the past three months to 29%.

This comes as little surprise as sales volumes accelerate and Acal banks the benefits of sterling's slide.

The business saw revenues glide 18% higher in the year to March 2017, it advised last month, to £338.2m. On an organic basis revenues rose 6%, the small-cap witnessing improving sales and order growth as the year progressed.

And Acal's record order book of £109m as of March -- up 22% at real exchange rates or 13% organically -- suggests that revenues should continue to pound higher.

Profits hero

It comes as little surprise that the City expects Acal's long-running growth history to continue with earnings rises of 8% in the years to March 2018 and 2019 respectively.

As a consequence, Acal changes hands on a forward P/E ratio of just 14.1 times, falling comfortably within the widely-considered value territory of 15 times or under. This is striking value given Acal's improving momentum.

Those seeking access to hot dividend growth dynamos need to give special attention to the Guildford firm too. Last year's 8.5p per share is anticipated to march to 9.3p in the present period, and to 9.7p during fiscal 2019.

Subsequent dividend yields clock in at a very-handy 3.1% and 3.2% for this year and next. And I expect shareholder rewards to keep marching higher in line with profits."

Good to see ACL picking up on the IC Buy tip:

The IC tip was almost a month ago :o))

More likely, especially given the recent rush of buying via AT trades, that institutional investors have begun buying in following their review of the trading update.

As I said before, imo the market is only just cottoning on to the transformation in quality taking place, and it just needed the trigger of a positive trading update to start things off.

Based on Finncap's forecast of 22.9p EPS for this year, a 320p share price would only be a P/E of 13.9. It seems to me that following the final results on 6th June there may well be upgrades to those price targets of 320p-330p.

The IC recently tipped ACL as a Buy, and the company have helpfully copied the tip onto their web site.

They note historic 18.7p EPS rising to 21.3p EPS this year:

I bought in a few weeks ago after selling a holding in BNC (Santander). This looked like a good fit with my other small cap dividend payers (so far AIR, ARBB, BMS, CNCT, FLO, TYMN). I liked what I read about the business and it looked to have a decent yield with the potential for capital growth, although I admit that my research isn't anywhere near as thorough as it should be for a stock picking strategy, generally preferring to piggy back on the portfolios of well known investors and fund managers.
