Worth listening to this fund manager interview;



BMY discussed from 54-57 mins.

Paul Hill & the fund manager stating it's on a 16.5x earnings multiple, ~14x ex cash.

Based on the current share price of 533p, a 16.5x multiple would mean a forecast EPS of 32.3p, whereas after the last upgrade I can see the forecast EPS appears to be 45.8p, which would mean it's a current year PE of 11.6 and an ex cash PE of exactly 10x...

So when results land on 23rd May, even if the market values it as 12x ex-cash, the result would be a share price of 630p.

At 16.5x basic EPS it would be valued at £7.32, ex cash £8.05!

Looks like a gift to me, based on BMY being under covered by analyst's & not circulating it's financials to PI's, resulting in an information gap.

It's also possible they exceed 45.8p, given the forecast was updated 2 weeks before the end of their financial year.

I think the share price rise is due to all the good recent news, not because of any acquisition on the cards. However, wouldn't surprise me if this was snapped up - would make a great bolt on for a bigger publisher, and Nigel Newton might be keen to seel up after thirty odd years. Plenty of cash too which would also be attractive to an acquirer.

We could receive a nice dividend this year, and agree happy to hold them but it was under £4 a few months back, so interesting the share price has jumped to an all time high. A large cash pile as well does make them attractive to a buyer.

The share price appreciation wouldnt be linked to a potential acquiror buying shares. Its a common myth but very, very rarely happens

Very good run with the share price, anyone think a bid may be on the cards. A few months ago it was over a £1 cheaper.

Good to see a Hear of IR appointed. BMY performs well though it I dont think its as investor friendly as it could be, and therefore share price probably not reflecting the true value of the company. Not sure its RNS-worthy mind you!

Agreed 18BT. Analyst expectations, as guided by the company, are always very low for BMY.

Think we're look at perhaps 36p EPS so current share price is very undemanding given BMY's consistent growth, cash balance and strong record of improving metrics

Regardless of where else you buy BMY books, you won't line others at BMY's expense. That expense is factored into the minimum 'wholesale' price that the others pay to buy from BMY. If you buy direct from BMY then you'd be giving BMY more profit but that's all.

A slight aside, but I was just looking at buying John Guy's Hunting the Falcon
Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Marriage That Shook Europe as I studied under him 40 years ago. So decided to look and see whether I could buy from BMY and cut out the middleman. £27 on BMY (plus delivery if less than £30)and £24.99 at Waterstones and £24.65 from Amazon. It's a crazy market when they can't get closer to the Amazon price... So the choice is which of the sharks of Amazon or Eliott Advisers do I line the pockets of at the expense of BMY..

Yes, agreed Saltwood. Also in better market conditions, their record of consistent growth, strong ROCE/ROE, margin improvements, net cash etc could lead to a far higher multiple that they're on today.

Completely different sector but if you look at mid-cap engineering type companies, they demonstrate similar characteristics and can trade on 20x.

However until interest rates come down and there are greater animal spirits in the market again, BMY share price will be constrained but I dont see much downside though
