Just about to go through the £4 barrier |
Shares Mag:
Results were ahead of expectations with revenue up to £138.2m and adjusted EBITDA of £88.6 giving a 64.1% margin.
Leverage falls from 3.4x to 2.7x net debt to EBITDA and a maiden divi is paid; in the words of broker Jefferies: 'what's not to like'.
JPMorgan highlights the group's inclusion in the MSCI Developed Markets index (from Nov 30th) as a near-term kicker for the stock. |

Heavyweight broker Citigroup reiterates BUY today. |
First post here and not trying to ramp another stock just pointing something out.
AUTO valued at £ 3.7BN and has 700M debt.
CBUY is valued at £9M no debt and in their last results they talk about up to £160M profit per year from just one contract.
Both companies digital software high margins 90%.
Both companies have risk.
CBUY has never come up with the goods to date, but does have the contracts to do it.
Only time will tell which of the two companies makes the best returns going forward.
Good luck. |

 Autotrader sees revenues and profits rise
Stephen Chapman
By Stephen Chapman — 13 November 2015
Auto Trader has released its half year results this morning, showing that revenue is up to £138.2m (H1 2015: £127.5m), with underlying operating profit up 17% to £82.9m.
The Manchester-based firm says that its consumer audience is now 5 times larger than that of its nearest competitor and advert views per month increased by 9% to 240m.
“Auto Trader has delivered a strong first half performance, as retailers, consumers and manufacturers alike are increasingly recognising the value of our marketplace,” said Trevor Mather, chief executive of Auto Trader Group plc.
“We continue to grow our audience of car buyers and develop products to add value to our retailers, helping them remain competitive and make informed decisions based on real-time market data, allowing them to buy and sell the right stock at the right price.
“We believe there is substantial opportunity to grow the business based on the increasing importance of the internet for automotive advertising, and the growing use of data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the industry.”
In the results, the company stated that its audience growth had been fuelled by the use of smartphones and tablets, which now account for around 70% of all visits, up from 64% last year. 23% of those visits come via apps, while 30% are via desktops – where the dwell time per session is higher.
It added that more than 50% of consumers now visit only one forecourt before buying their vehicle as the majority of their research is online.
The company has recently launched new advertising formats and improved audience targeting, to encourage manufactures to increase marketing spend. It said it was seeing “significant growth in high end brand advertising as well as performance-driven direct response campaigns.”

Excellent coverage in TMI recently explaining the business model. This is RMV in the making. Dyor |
Does that mean you buy at any price ??
It is a good business, no doubt about that however it is debt ridden and overvalued.
There are thousands of places to invest, why pay over the odds for something ?? |
