I imagine BMY financials would currently look completely different without SJM. At least we know these windfall profits will be invested to create long term growth as was with the case with JKR.

No position currently

The tea slurping was a classic! Definitely the most impressive back drop to a presentation I have ever seen too.Agree with the above comments. They like to be conservative with forecasts and that holds the share back until the results beat( hopefully) They are still looking at acquisitions, it was mentioned but the last deal was a big one so it's going to take time to bed down thus I don't think any acquisitions will be happening soon

It’s a fair point re SJM but consider the longevity of Potter revenues.
Also the same was said about BMY and JKR.
They must also be towards first choice for aspiring writers.

Hi Jimmy,

I held shares in BMY from Aug-21 through to last week and certainly am amenable to buying them again. I am just not sure how to value the business currently given one person seems so critical to the business.

At least they can use the windfall to invest elsewhere in the business

BMY now seems to comprise the massively profitable SJM books with a less high quality publishing business attached. Not that we will be ever be told, but it would be very interesting to see the sales/accounts for the rest of the business.

Investors here now seem to be taking a massive punt that SJM doesn't fall under a bus and that the SJM/BMY relationship stays as strong as is currently the case; obviously to date this has all done exceptionally well

If anybody has access to those ex-SJM sales/accounts, please do let us know.

N.B. Sold at 736p after the interim results. Still not sure whether that was a good idea but I wanted to add to W7L and ANP where the SPs were weak.

BMY – Bloomsbury Publishing
5*
Bloomsbury Publishing posted another bumper set of numbers and raised its profit guidance to be ahead of current consensus where these are for revenue of £319.3m and profit before taxation and highlighted items of £37.5m. The business recorded its fifth consecutive year of double-digit growth in the first half with revenue growth of 32% to £179.8m, an increase of £43.1m, and profit growth of 50% to £26.6m, an increase of £8.9m. The Group has risen to be the 39th largest publisher in the world up from 51st in 2020 according to the recent Global Publishing Ranking league table. HY growth was driven primarily by the consumer division which posted revenue growth of 47%...

The market has only been open for ten minutes and , in spite of what look to me like great results ( yes , there are always with all company reports details to pick on ) , the share price is down almost 10% . In the famous words of Lance Corporal Jones in Dad’s Army , “ don’t panic “ ( but do your own research ) . Maybe I’m wrong , but this phenomenon occurs so often with so many shares on results day , with traders following the maxim of “ buy on the rumour , sell on the news “ . Call me complacent , but I’m holding because I think the share price will recover over the next few days .

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.

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
