22/1/2019 08:11	edmundshaw: A negative take from someone who has sold out at a loss is not very unusual, and understandable. But I don't think the negatives are anything new or surprising. From a more balanced point of view, I think that update is pretty much in line with expectations, and shows a businesslike approach. A 1p = 3% dividend is probably a good compromise at the current price to try to support the share price at some level around 30-45p while reinvestment in the business is underway, but is not really the main focus for the business right now. Given the cash cow of the news business, if management can restore the Tuffnells business this has prospects, though I admit to being disappointed by the sale and leaseback, which represents a permanent new cost to the business. Of course whether Mr Market decides to punish CNCT for past news, or is disappointed in the speed of progress in the short term, we shall have to see. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
06/11/2018 14:46	speedsgh: Brief write up by Graham Neary in today's SCVR following today's results... HTTP://tinyurl.com/yb25jgkz "My view: I would be more excited about Connect if it was going to sell or shut down Tuffnells. In that case, I think I could make an argument that this offered better-than-average chances at the current share price. Instead it is going to attempt what looks like a very difficult and distracting recovery. Therefore, after taking the debt load into account, this look priced about right to me."

14/9/2018 17:41	colonel a: The share price has tanked. Iff this TU is telling it like it is they should be able to announce a modest {2p say} dividend next month with a plan that starts paying down debt slightly next year and then more aggressively in 2020 when the one off costs are cleared and they no longer have to cough up £4 mill per annum on the pension deficit.

14/9/2018 16:51	scobak: We are going to be in for a terrible next few months in the share price hastened by the rapid closure of Pass my parcel. All the costs will necessarily be bundled together. If we are aware of that then it will not come as a surprise and we can ride it out in the full knowledge that we will come out of it sooner. Also means that when the S/P tanks we can take full advantage. Keeping my powder dry for now. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
06/9/2018 15:13	wacker101: The share price fell to 26p in mid August which is exactly a 50% drop from the 52p in June when the 2nd profit warning was announced. Probably well oversold now. Also, current buyers of the stock are probably being attracted to the dividend going forward. Despite a huge cut it may still be 2p to 3p per year. The share price is getting to a fairer price but it will be interesting what happens around 39p which is 50% retracement from the lows. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
17/8/2018 10:45	mitch74: Great spot cw2000. Just read about this at hxxps://www.betterretailing.com/dhl-to-take-over-pass-my-parcel So there is one issue down and presumably money saved on shutting those operations: that is clearly a positive. I am having to suppress my enthusiasm with CNCT at the current share price TBH. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
06/5/2018 10:50	kenmitch: Chickenvindaloo. A very helpful post. Thanks. I've just looked at your earlier posts about Tuffnells and the results show how right you were. And you even feared the share price falling to around 50p as a result. Wish I had seen/taken more notice of your earlier posts. I still hold Connect but am pondering selling out. Their turnaround plans sounded woolly so presumably unless they sell the business things are going to get worse rather than better, as Management sound incompetent. A real shame for people like you who work there and presumably a danger of job losses too if things don’t improve. For shareholders (we’re lucky as unlike for you the only worry for us is the share price) the question is whether the bad news is priced in now. The PE is very low and they’ve held the interim dividend. Even if they were to halve the final the yield would still be very high. Do please post again, especially if any hint of things getting any worse, or (sounds unlikely) better. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
30/4/2018 11:43	kenmitch: True, and a cut is likely. Guessing about 50% cut. Share price reaction to that depends on results news and especially the outlook. If results OK and Outlook more promising the share price could well go up even with a halving of the dividend. But better still would be good results, good prospects and a maintained dividend. Share would rocket (16% dividend!)if that happened. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting. EDIT. Missed out worst case! Poor results, bleak outlook and dividend cut or even cancelled. Will be cutting a loss if that happens! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
07/3/2018 22:01	aleman: Off the top of my head: Private equity via cash shell carrying losses. Operating cashflow preworking cap £60m. Close PMP makes £65m. 1/3rd premium bid to current price, funded by £200m debt to buy CNCT plus existing debt = £280m. Interest £20m. Tax £0. Capex/depn £9m. Free cashflow £36m to pay down debt or make aquisitions. Might be feasable. Somebody with £280m cash and tax losses would save £20 interest and get £56m free cashflow. With £280m cash but no tax losses, they'd pay £8-9m tax, so £47m free cashflow. Tempting all ways around, even allowing for some attrition of newspapers and magazines. The shares ought to be rather higher. The discount suggests the market does not have great faith in the boards ability to utilise cashflow wisely. Perhaps shareholders should insist it is all paid out to them and forget expanding the business. £65m -£5m interest -£9m tax -£9m capex, leaves £42m for dividends. We get current share price back in nearly 4 years - a bit longer with dividend tax - and what's left over is value in the business not reflected in the current share price.

30/1/2018 10:23	speedsgh: Connect still a ‘buy’ despite profit warning, say Shore Capital - HTTP://citywire.co.uk/money/the-expert-view-lloyds-connect-and-renishaw/a1087527#i=3 Investors in parcel delivery business Connect Group (CNCT) have been hit by a profit warning after a long list of failures but Shore Capital still believes the share price is justified. Analyst Martin Brown reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation on the shares, which were trading at 74.5p yesterday, down 29% after last week’s warning. He said the recent profit warning and ‘stumbling block’ in the sale of Connect Books were ‘yet another blow to investors’. Connect had been due to sell its books division to Aurelius, but announced last week the German investors had pulled out of the deal. ‘We recently commented that while we agreed with the new strategy of focusing on early distribution and mixed freight, the long list of strategic failures over the years meant we believed investors should wait to see some delivery first,’ he said. ‘A cut to profit before tax guidance was not the delivery we or investors were looking for. Connect’s diversification strategy has now failed to deliver on all fronts.’ However, he added that ‘in terms of the share price, the reality is that the current price can be justified by the core news and media business alone’.
