Centaur recovery in full swing
“It’s quite difficult to remember how this business worked 12 months ago,” said Centaur Media (CAU) chief executive Andria Vidler, reflecting on the turnaround under her stewardship. Since then, the company has relaunched a number of its flagship publications, including Marketing Week and Design Week, and consolidated a sprawling group of 50 businesses and titles working independently from one another.
Signs of improvement were most clearly demonstrated in the marketing division, where growth in paid-for content and live events helped lift adjusted operating profits by 63 per cent to £3.9m. Sharper focus on these two higher-earning revenue streams, and a lower reliance on print advertising, edged up the company-wide operating profit margin from 13 per cent to 14 per cent. In fact, paid-for content and live events comprised two-thirds of turnover in the 18 months to 31 December, and finance director Mark Kerswell thinks this improved product mix could push the operating profit margin to 20 per cent by 2018.
Broker Numis forecasts pre-tax profit of £10.1m for 2015, rising to £11.5m next year, giving earnings per share of 5.4p and 6p.
Centaur’s shares are up on our buy tip (57p, 13 November 2014), but with much of the restructuring out of the way and a strong portfolio of refreshed brands, operational gearing should kick in and bring down the forward PE ratio from 12. AN

tks for highlighting CR, I have a few.

Broke out today on an intraday and closing basis.

3.8p eps in H1 and H2 is normally their stronger half:

4.9p eps forecast for the year looks easy to meet or beat on that basis imo.

Nearly paying 5% yield too.

From the trading update last week:

"Trading over the last four months has been encouraging and with an improving rate of growth, the outlook for 2015 is increasingly positive."

Well worth reading the whole statement imo.

[mickharkins1] 17/11/2014 09:48

Just dipped a toe in having gone through the latest analyst presentation and interim results. Looks cheap to me!

[janekane] 14/11/2014 17:29

Macf looks interesting

[wjccghcc] 14/11/2014 14:59

Tipped in the IC.

[cockneyrebel] 14/11/2014 13:43

Very quiet here - which is nice.

Have you seen the volume after the analyst presentation on Weds? And the huge volume today causing the chart to break out?

A 5% yield here I think.

Looks interesting imo.
