Apparently ' low-beta stocks pose less risk but also lower returns.'

[qvg] 13/5/2021 21:07

low volatility?

[makinbuks] 13/5/2021 16:57

What does low beta mean? Good but not great? I take no notice of what Liberum say as they blow with the wind and offer their thoughts far too freely

[philanderer] 13/5/2021 14:21

Liberum suggests value and small-cap stocks should continue to outperform in the short-term and "If inflation expectations and bond yields overshoot in the summer, we would expect small-cap and value outperformance to extend well into the second half of this year".

The broker has added two stocks to its portfolio to replace companies that have hit its price target: Drinks maker AG Barr PLC (LON:BAG) makes it in the low beta category, joining the likes of BATM Advanced (LON:BVC), Bloomsbury Publishing (LON:BMY), IG Group (LON:IGG), Aptitude Software (LON:APTD), Pennon (LON:PNN), Croda International (LON:CRDA), Softcat Group (LON:SCT), Spirax-Sarco (LON:SPX), FDM Group (LON:FDM), Howden Joinery Group (LON:HWDN), Games Workshop (LON:GMW), Persimmon (LON@PSN) and Bellway (LON:BWY), plus Liberum corporate clients including Plus500 (LON:PLUS), SThree (LON:STEM) and 4Imprint (LON:FOUR).

Rubicon unveils new sparkling drinks


Adrian Troy, marketing director at brand owner AG Barr, said: “Taste remains the number one motivation for shoppers to choose a soft drink, and traditional flavours alone are not meeting all consumer needs anymore, new flavour combinations are driving the growth.

“We are confident that our two new tropical Rubicon products will provide incremental sales opportunities for retailers, particularly as we head into the peak summer sales period where Rubicon sales more than double.

“Shoppers are looking for a wider range of flavours in the Soft Drinks category, our two new Rubicon products meet that need perfectly.

“Both have high concept appeal with our core target audience of 16- to 34-year-olds, providing retailers with a huge opportunity to engage shoppers with interesting flavours that create excitement and boost their soft drinks sales.”

The latest retail sector analysis by Liberum flags an “exciting mix of opportunities” where companies are well-placed to capitalise on pent-up demand.

A bullish note examining where UK households might spend the £170 billion of spare cash built up during the pandemic today highlighted Ted Baker (LSE:TED) and Superdry (LSE:SDRY) as stocks to watch.

The easing of lockdown restrictions are also expected to benefit Frasers Group (LSE:FRAS), Fevertree Drinks (LSE:FEVR), AG Barr (LSE:BAG) and Cake Box (LSE:CBOX) through their exposure to this year's staycation theme.

A welcome slight rebound today anyway ;-)

[makinbuks] 31/3/2021 09:26

Agreed, its almost a marketing exercise and you'd think they would understand that more than many

[philanderer] 31/3/2021 00:31

topvest, could well be that. I saw a similar thing happen to WEIR recently when it witheld it's dividend.

[topvest] 30/3/2021 21:13

Lack of a final dividend is the only explanation. A possibly over-cautious approach?

[philanderer] 30/3/2021 17:00

Those results did not go down well .

Weaker tomorrow ? UT @ 486p

Julie Palmer, a partner at business rescue specialist Begbies Traynor, remarked: 'AG Barr has been going through some tough times...However, the brand is one of the many looking forward to the reopening of offices and the hospitality sector to increase the sales it makes from the lunchtime trade.

'It will also be hoping that advice to meet outside may result in some significant picnic purchases of fizzy drinks meaning sunny weather could be reflected in a sunnier outlook for its financials when the time comes to wrap up the year.

Liberum analyst Wayne Brown kept his Buy recommendation and 625p price target, observing: ‘The business remained highly cash generative, ending the year with £50m net cash, which should support a return to dividends this financial year. Looking ahead, the first quarter will continue to be impacted by the lockdowns, but as restrictions ease in late spring, the group’s strong brands and flexible operations should allow it to quickly capture any upside.’

[philanderer] 30/3/2021 09:57

That's a 'no' then.

[philanderer] 29/3/2021 23:57

Interesting to see if a dividend is announced.
