Video with CEO Jefferies



Nick Jefferies, chief executive of customised electronic components maker Acal (LON:ACL) offers his take on the global macro-economic picture.

Factory demand levels are crucial for the business, which makes temperature sensors found in coffee machines, cables for Stannah stair lifts and test parts for cars.

To monitor demand, Jefferies explains that the firm tracks money supply – a good indicator of industrial output.

Sales in the six months to November rose by 18% and demand signs looks good in Europe; although the CEO is wary of a weaker US market and a potential China slowdown.

SoundBuy.....by convention Broker notes are: Old Target Price: New Target Price: Recommendation.This is why I questioned it

[soundbuy] 15/10/2015 07:00

No, 269.00 relects current price, would imagine current TP unchanged if reiterates.

[metier9] 15/10/2015 07:00

I have 339 buy as well and reiterated sometimes.

SoundBuy that: 15 Oct 2015 Acal PLC ACL finnCap Buy 269.00 269.00 Reiterates........ Could that be an error?.....last target was 339. Seems odd broker target is current share price

$ACL ACAL update: "H1 sales up 30%, gross margins higher than last year, we will deliver good growth in first half earnings, as expected"

[metier9] 15/10/2015 06:51

Group reported sales for the period increased by 18% and by 30% at constant exchange rates ("CER")1, the difference reflecting the significant translational impact of Sterling strength during the period2. Like-for-like sales3 were up 2%, with gross margin higher than last financial year, and operating margin now in excess of 5%.

Sterling has weakened a bit since the end of H1 results. Design 46%, Custom 54%. I think they are aiming for 2/3 design and 8%+ op margin if I remember the annual report correctly.
