Another plug for BMS from Master Investor:



"Master Investor subscribers will already know that my shipping services sector favourite stock is the much smaller £99m valued Braemar (LON:BMS), currently 298p, it is favoured by analyst Ian McInally at Cavendish Capital with a 385p Price Objective, which in my view is conservative.

Note that recently another global shipbroking group, Lightship Chartering, has been buying into its equity and rates the BMS shares as being cheaply rated."

Interesting quote in this article from Master Investor:

Braemar (LON:BMS) – Competitor Buying Into The Equity
With the re-routing of trade routes around the Cape of Good Hope, the global shipping market is now reacting to container freight rates rising for the last six weeks in a row, getting back up to the higher levels of October 2022.

It was quite a beneficial share price move on Monday, following the revelation that an ambitious Geneva-based shipbroking company has been putting together a ‘major shareholding’ in the group’s equity.

The new holding notification to the market states that Lightship SA has bought some 1m shares representing 3.04%.

That is said to be good news for players in the shipping sector, including shipbroker Lightship Chartering, which is 51.5% owned by Danish founder and chairman Morten Have.

Sune Fladberg, the private company’s CEO is reported as stating that:

“It’s quite simple, we believe strongly in shipping in the near future and are looking for opportunities to invest further in the industry.

We think the valuation in Braemar is very attractive at the moment.”

I reckon that the Lightship stake was purchased at around the 290p level, so at last night’s close of 300p, it is already showing its holding is well in the ‘swim’.

After hitting 310.60p on Monday morning, further price rises to trade well into, the 300p to 350p range can be expected within the next few months.

One should be invested in both Braemar and Clarkson IMO. Braemar has much greater upside but will be slower to move as it is too small for many investors. Clarkson will gain sooner but has less upside in the medium term.

I am not sure who has already seen it, but there was news yesterday that Maersk Broker management are considering a MBO in combination with third party investor money. That is significant because they are one of the other top 10 industry players in shipbroking, and Clarkson were heavily rumoured to be in discussions to acquire them last year.



This takes me onto your question, Traders, of if Clarkson could buy Braemar. The industrial logic is obvious, there may be a competition question that would arise and I cannot say I am in a position to know whether it would be authorised (although the difference between buying Maersk vs Braemar is only a few percent of the total market share.

I did some back of the envelope maths for whether Clarkson could buy Braemar and what earnings accretion they would achieve.

If we theorise that they pay £140m for Braemar, which would still be well below Clarkson's own valuation but is a reasonably large premium for Braemar
- Clarkson lose £140m at let us assume 3.5% interest -£4.9mln
- but they gain let us say £12.75m of net income before synergies
- assume 2% of sales in further synergies is another £3m, taxed is £2m to keep the maths simple
- Total net income accretion of £9.9m

That is still 12% accretion even when paying £140m for Braemar.

Put that on Clarkson's PE multiple of 13.4X and total shareholder market cap creation would be £133m. So from a financial point of view the deal would make sense, but that is no surprise when Braemar is trading at a rock bottom PE multiple

This sort of a deal probably did not make much sense over the past years because Braemar was a bloated entity with low profit margin activities in many other areas. That Braemar is now streamlined and has a very interesting and high organic growth story in Risk Advisory may change that. But management's view of whether there would be a competition issue of course is the number 1 hurdle if this is a starter or a non-starter. I am happy for Braemar to stay independent but if Clarkson did an all cash or a cash and shares deal for Braemar, I wouldn't mind that if it let me access the upside through Clarkson instead. This is all theoretical of course, but as I discussed in my lengthy review, shipbrokers have not been scared of large scale deals, Clarkson included!

I think the Braemar Risk Advisory growth is not being well understood by most who are not invested in this company. I have copied what I have written about it

Braemar Securities has quadrupled revenue since FY21

The strategy has also involved developing and bulking out ancillary services for chartering, like Braemar’s Securities offering which has quadrupled over the last 3 years to >10% of revenues, growing from £3.3mln in FY21 to £17mln in FY23 and growing a further 20%+ in the first half of FY24. This is a major opportunity for Braemar, with the securities business really only present in the UK at the moment, but which is a platform that can be rolled out more globally over time. The EU ETS regulation changes coming soon will an additional stimulus to growth, by further allowing Braemar to provide a service for shipping clients to manage the physical purchase of carbon credits in the EU. It would not be surprising to see Securities as a close to £50mln revenue business within 5 to 7 years. I asked Braemar this exact question on their half year presentation call with retail investors: can Securities get to £50mln in 5-7 years? Their answer was that their opportunity set in the UK, Europe, Singapore and other countries can support that ballpark number.

The brokers have BMS on only 7.5X what is basically next year's PE, and on my more optimistic forecasts I have it only just 6.0X what is basically 2025 PE

R.e. corporate actions. We know the new strategy, which is to concentrate on core services such as broking and to expand the coverage. There will be bolt on acquisitions, thank god, so we are invested in a growing company, not a sclerotic dividend payer like so many UK investors seem to favour.

I see this settling out much closer to £3 over the coming weeks.

At 265p it's a roughly £87m market cap, with £7m net cash, and a forward P/E of 7.4x. Which feels pretty punitive and again I can see investors willing to credit a decently higher multiple here. I would also argue that FRP having run their slide rule over the accounts means this deserves a higher multiple than before

Consensus 2024 forecast 36p.

Clarkson (better outfit) trades closer to 12x.

redwing - agree. These are audited accounts where the files for the CT600 should be ready to go. We can all check on companies house of course (no, they haven't been filed yet). In any case investors are starting to look through a period of economic weakness ongoing and for the next 6 months with smaller caps being bid in the US and here.

https://masterinvestor.co.uk/equities/small-cap-catch-up-digging-reading-shipping-and-more/Braemar (LON:BMS) – Getting Ready For Some Cheap Stock With the way that the market is moving currently, on something of a switchback ride, it is probably best that there is yet another delay in the publishing of the accounts of this shipping services group. The company yesterday announced that the independent internal investigation has now been completed, however the resulting actions relating to the historic transactions identified in the investigation have taken slightly longer to implement than previously anticipated. That means that the company now expects to publish its final FY23 results in the middle of next month, with the FY24 interims shortly thereafter. The good news is that the Board expects to seek a restoration of the group's listing after the publication of the FY23 results. The group provides expert investment, chartering, and risk management advice that enables its clients to secure sustainable returns and mitigate risk in the volatile world of shipping and energy. The 2023 results are expected to show revenues of £150m (£101.3m), while underlying operating profit is expected to double to over £20.0m (£10.1m). The shares were suspended at 233p in late June, after having hit 320p in February this year. I remain a big fan of this company, its Management and its prospects, so I will be very pleased to see a resumption of dealings in its equity. When the shares do get their quote back again, I feel that nimble investors may well be able to take swift advantage of the price action, especially when 'locked-in' holders rapidly retrieve their values by selling upon the re-quote. That would certainly be a very good time to jump in for a few, looking for a quick turn.
