Posted at 19/4/2023 11:34 by kalai1 discoverIE Group plc issued a trading update for its financial year ended 31 March 2023. The Group enjoyed a strong finish to the year with results ahead of Board expectations. Group sales were 16% ahead of last year, of which 8% was organic growth, the order book continues to be at a higher than expected level and in line with last year. Gross margins remain robust and the semiconductor sourcing issues flagged last year, impacting two of the Group's 21 businesses, are mostly resolved. The balance sheet remains healthy, with gearing at 31 March 2023 of c.0.9x and there remains good headroom for further growth investment within the target gearing range of 1.5x to 2.0x. The Group's acquisition pipeline has continued to build and presents a number of good potential opportunities coming into the new financial year. On the debit side, valuation is average, share price lacks positive momentum and the dividend yield is a little stingy. DSCV is solid mid-cap Tech name, but is a share to monitor for the time being.......from WealthOracle |
Posted at 30/7/2022 20:58 by blackhorse23 CURY (LSE) & discoverIE same mcap & same business but CURY revenue 10.1 billion but dscv revenue only 400 million ?! CURY dividend even better |
Posted at 15/5/2022 09:53 by eigthwonder For me, Soli would like to think of itself in the same league as DSCV, but it’s a case of wishful thinking. My opinion. As for the weakness this year - it’s a case of bringing the rating down from totally unjustified levels of before. Great company but not yet worth the premium levels of earlier. |
Posted at 16/2/2022 18:04 by km18 ..from last year...Company overview: discoverIE Group is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative components for electronic applications. The Group has 2 main divisions – Design and Manufacturing (D&M) and Custom Supply. The former has transformed from a UK business at the beginning of the last decade to a full-blown global business across 24 countries, with more than a quarter of revenue generated outside of Europe. The Custom Supply is also operating internationally, with logistics centres in Germany, UK and Hong Kong. Most of the sales come from D&M. DSCV is providing solutions for 4 industries – Renewable energy, Transportation, Medical, and Industrial & Connectivity. The blended approach towards growth with numerous acquisitions over the past 10 years has generated significant goodwill on the balance sheet of more than £100m (25% of total assets). During the last 12 months the company has acquired 5 businesses for initial consideration of £109m. The FY2021 results show no impairments, meaning prior to investing a good look in the subsidiaries is required. Growth is solid, with revenue and EPS CAGR at 9.57% and 3.69% respectively. The lower percentage on the EPS is primarily due to continuous dilution from issuance of shares over the past 10 years. ROCE was at 6.45% for FY21 and gearing is currently at 32.9%, which is on the higher end to what we would like to see. To balance it off, there was a good dividend payment of 10.2p for FY21. Valuation is average at best, with P/E and EV/EBITDA higher than the average of the sector (33 and 24.24 respectively). Lates communication from the company is in the form of a trading update, which unfortunately gives us very little detail on the financials. The company is proud of its progress on reducing carbon emissions and new acquisitions profitability. Following the equity placing in September, they have managed to cut the gearing below their target range of 1.5-2.0 to 1.4x. The important line of the update is in the second paragraph, management is saying despite the headwinds “Group performance for the first half is ahead of Board’s expectations”. Brilliant! That’s what we like to hear. We will be keeping an eye on the stock as it may get an upgrade following continuous outperformance....fr |
Posted at 03/2/2020 15:41 by rivaldo Cheers nw99. However, for courtesy's sake I should say that I've sold my shares here now, due to the coronavirus.DSCV have one of their locations in China, which is likely to be suffering. But mainly, despite DSCV's core sectors being very resilient and largely non-cyclical, they do also have a chunk of business in semiconductors and other cyclical areas, and I just felt that DSCV were one of the more exposed companies in my portfolio to a general slowdown. I'm around 130% up here, so it's always good to protect a decent profit. And since DSCV is reasonably well rated my thinking is that whilst there may not be too much immediate upside, there may be more downside for the moment. Good luck to others here, and I may well be back in soon. Cue another acquisition tomorrow morning! |
Posted at 17/12/2019 13:40 by rivaldo Given that it's now over a month old, it's worth posting extracts from the major Buy tip SCSW wrote for DSCV in the prior issue:"To my mind, this business is beginning to resemble a multi-stage rocket - a launch vehicle that uses several rocket stages, each of which contains its own engines and propellant and gives it an extra thrust to keep it going (I will say why at the end of the article) - and I think it’s about to enter its most exciting phase. DiscoverIE is a supplier of custom electronic products including transformers, sensors and the like and these are sold into a range of industrial end-markets such as renewable energy (notably wind), transportation, medical and industrial connectivity (IoT), all of which are high growth and exciting." "DiscoverIE today operates through two divisions, namely Custom Supply, which is its third party distribution activities and Design & Manufacturing (D&M), which are the products manufactured in-house. Last year D&M’s £266m sales accounted for c.61% of overall group sales (up from 37% of smaller sales in 2015) and EBITA was 78% of the total (up from 62%). The focus on specialisation has already had a seismic impact on margins. Since 2014, gross margins are up from 30% to 33% whilst operating margins have doubled over the same five year period, from 3.4% in 2014 to 7% in 2019. Looks like a multi-stage rocket Thanks to its M&A activity, which has brought into the fold a diversified mix of manufacturing businesses, including bespoke transformers, sensors and power supplies, between 2015 and 2019 group sales have risen from £271m to £439m, pretax profits from £11.8m to £27.2m, and eps from 15.4p to 27.2p. I don’t think it is too far-fetched to imagine that with help from further acquisitions the company could double or treble in size over the next three years and a note published by broker Jefferies, the house stockbroker, also describes DiscoverIE as, “having the potential to move from being a small cap to a mid cap over the next few years” because the virtuous circle of strong cash generation being recycled into such eps enhancing acquisitions to gain new skills, expand geographically and access new customers will maintain momentum." "Design & Manufacturing Whilst Custom Supply’s performance is likely to be flat when DiscoverIE reports its interims later this month on 28 November, the other division, Design & Manufacturing (D&M), has enjoyed astonishingly robust trading. This is the bit that has been built up via 15 acquisitions completed since 2014, for which DiscoverIE has paid a total consideration of c.£245m. Between 2014-2019, D&M has ballooned from £35.9m sales to £266m - equating to a compound growth rate of 49%. Although it is largely down to M&A, the next first half will also show an acceleration in D&M’s organic growth to 12% year-on-year. Each of the 15 businesses (including Contour Electronics, Flux, Foss, Heason, Hectronic, Herga, Ixthus Instrumentation, MTC, Myrra, Noratel, RSG, Variohm Eurosensor, Vertec and Sens-Tech) continues to be operated under their own brands although being part of a larger group leads to buying benefits for raw materials, logistics and also integration of warehouses and IT systems. The key segments comprise transformers (essential components used to step voltages up and down using coils of copper and iron to produce a changing magnetic field); communications (RF and MW components, fibre optic components, frequency controls, wireless modules etc); power segments (standard and customisable power designs); and sensors (sensors, accelerometers, transmitters). DiscoverIE uses a direct sales force who work with a customer’s R&D engineers to offer design expertise and refer customers to engineers at one of DiscoverIE’s many customer service centres to help modify an existing off-the-shelf part or design and develop a custom solution. By way of example, a customer might want an exhaust sensor that feeds back information to the engine management system; another might want an industrial data recorder that can be integrated with a level crossing. Once designed and prototyped DiscoverIE then supplies the finished product with production facilities located across Europe as well as in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Mexico. Consequently, D&M’s customers don’t quibble on the price as instead it boils down to specialist features and quality, resulting in higher margins versus Custom & Supply (12% on average in the past five years versus 4%-5%). Sticky revenues Typically, the work DiscoverIE undertakes is on a project basis with design cycles varying in length (from 2 months to 2-3 years). This results in better visibility of demand compared to the pure distributor peers, whose visibility is usually no more than a few days. The specialist nature of the products - and the fact that c.80% of sales are unique or custom designed rather than off the shelf - results in strong client retention because once a part supplied by DiscoverIE has been designed-into a customer’s product, they don’t often change supplier. There is also low risk of inventory becoming obsolete as DiscoverIE only builds to order and the order book increased to £153m at 30 September. DiscoverIE has also created structural clusters - or centres of excellence - meaning that smaller businesses operate through larger entities, which are active in the same product area. This allows all the divisional companies to fully benefit from the group’s extensive and global customer base, and it also helps drive cross-selling opportunities as one division of the group increasingly turns to another to supply vital components, driving a bigger share of a customer’s wallet. In the wind sector, for instance, MTC provided optical wireless connectivity to Myrra's charging units and Variohm provided components for the airflow measurement of turbines. Cross-selling from such initiatives is running at £10.6m of sales or 2.4% of the total in 2019 and is on a rising trend. Positioned in niche markets As already described, DiscoverIE’s four target end markets (renewable energy, transportation, medical and industrial connectivity) means customer spending isn’t following the economic cycle and explains the 12% organic growth expected in the first half for D&M. Together the four segments represent 66% of group sales, and 71% of D&M last year. The company cites that renewables (wind in particular) is seeing the fastest growth in the electricity sector and is expected to provide almost 30% of power demand by 2023. Industrial connectivity is seeing the seismic effect of digital transformation and also the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects physical objects to the web and allows machines and equipment to communicate by gathering, receiving and distributing information. Most processes now incorporate some IoT element and with the arrival of compact and cheap sensors, together with high-bandwidth wireless networks, this has never been easier. Increasing exposure to the US and Asia One spin-off benefit from the acquisition strategy is that the business has become internationalised. Sales from the UK have decreased from 50% to 21% between FY09 and FY19, with Europe now 61% and Rest of World, including US and Asia, the balance. Last month, DiscoverIE completed its second ever largest acquisition when it bought Sens-Tech (a designer, manufacturer and supplier of specialist sensing and data acquisition modules) for an initial £58m. X-ray and photo detection are increasingly used across several applications, be it for transport security (scanning bags and people), medical diagnostics or for food production and quality control and Sens-Tech’s last reported sales were £15m of which 70% was generated in North America and Asia. It beautifully encapsulates the staging potential that I described in my multi-stage rocket analogy in the introduction because not only is focus moving to the biggest US and Asian markets but acquisitions have started to be even more profitable. Sens-Tech’s margins were a staggering 35%, even better than the previous two acquisitions (Hobart and Positek), with EBIT margins of over 20%. As these three businesses contribute for a full period, they will push up the average. In the light of the deal, broker Peel Hunt nudged up its eps forecast for the year to end March ‘20 to 29p with next year’s upgraded by 6% to 31.7p. I am a buyer ahead of interims due on 28 November." |
Posted at 16/12/2019 13:52 by rivaldo Good to see DSCV tipped again on Master Investor:"discoverIE Group (LON:DSCV) – broker positivity Brokers Panmure Gordon have initiated coverage of this electronic components designing and manufacturing group. They rate the shares as a ‘buy’, looking for them to rise to 615p, which is not as high as Peel Hunt are aiming for – they go for 650p and also state that they are a ‘buy’. The recent 33% rise in first-half profits and a record order book suggests that these brokers are onto a winner. Closing the week at 538p the shares still have big upside potential." |
Posted at 29/10/2019 11:00 by rivaldo New Edison note - they note DSCV is trading at a 13% discount to its peers:Extracts: "discoverIE has announced the acquisition of Sens-Tech for an initial cash consideration of £58m, partially funded by a £33m placing at 415p per share. Sens-Tech designs and manufactures specialist sensing technology and fits with discoverIE’s strategy to buy businesses supplying niche, highly customised products for critical applications. The business increases the group’s international revenues and boosts its presence in target markets such as transportation and healthcare. This is discoverIE’s largest acquisition since Noratel in FY15; we estimate the deal is immediately earnings enhancing (FY20e EPS +2%, FY21e +5%)." "Valuation: D&M focus supports upside discoverIE continues to trade at a discount to peers (13% discount based on FY20e P/E, 8% FY21e). Further progress in increasing the weighting of business towards the higher growth and margin D&M business (64% of H120 revenues vs 61% in FY19), combined with maintaining the profitability of the Custom Supply business, should help to reduce the discount. The stock is supported by a dividend yield above 2%." |
