Posted at 05/11/2024 14:56 by masurenguy ESNT has halved in value over the past 30 months. I've never been a shareholder here. However, it looks as though it could be oversold and may now be potentially ready for a revival next year. Therefore I've added it to my watchlist. |
Posted at 28/9/2024 07:58 by davius Insider: director spends £100k on shares at 15-year lowThese shares might have just dropped sharply, but the management team and City analysts believe better days lie ahead. Graeme Evans explains why. by Graeme Evans from interactive investor The cheapest Essentra shares in 15 years were bought by the FTSE 250 firm’s top team last week as they backed the components maker in the wake of a profit warning. Chair designate Steve Good led the buying with a purchase of £100,000, while chief executive Scott Fawcett spent £15,000 and finance boss Jack Clarke £12,400. Their investments took place on Wednesday, the day after Essentra said trading in August and September had not lived up to earlier hopes for a modest upturn in volumes. It said conditions in Europe were softer and that the recovery in the Americas region has been slower than anticipated, meaning that annual operating profits will be £40-42 million rather than City forecasts nearer £49 million. The company, which was known as Filtrona until 2013 and demerged from FTSE 100-listed Bunzl in 2005, is now a pure play components business after selling its filters division in 2022. It employs 3,000 people at 14 manufacturing facilities, producing 60 million parts a week for customers in sectors including automotive, electronics and renewable energy. These are small but critical components that go into other items. Last week’s trading setback sent shares down by as much as 19% towards 140p, which compared with 350p at the start of 2022 and 190p in May. They closed last week at 145.2p. The sharp reverse came even though the company stressed that it stands to benefit from high levels of operational leverage when normalised growth returns. The support of directors, who bought their shares at 142p, was echoed in the City after analysts at three firms downgraded their price targets but still forecast a decent recovery. Peel Hunt lowered its estimate from 300p to 230p and said its focus remains on the potential for accelerated returns as volumes improve: It added: “Service levels are high. The challenges are market volume related rather than pricing.” Deutsche Bank cut from 240p to 200p, while Panmure Liberum left its price target unchanged at 315p although it conceded that this will now take longer to achieve. Panmure Liberum added: “Whilst it is disappointing to see lower than expected volumes, we see the situation as cyclical rather than structural in nature.” It continues to believe the group is capable of delivering on its medium-term ambitions, which were disclosed in November 2022 when Essentra told investors that it intended to double its revenue and triple its operating profits. The growth plan included the opening of a new site in Monterrey, Mexico, reflecting the significant contribution the Americas region will make to its long-term performance. Efforts to deliver results throughout the cycle saw an improvement in last year’s operating margin to 13.7% from 7.4% the year before, while the balance sheet remains robust at a ratio of 1.1 times net debt to adjusted earnings. It is due to pay an interim dividend of 1.25p a share on 25 October, with the full year award three times covered by earnings. In 2023, Essentra shareholders received a special dividend of 29.8p a share following the disposal of its filters and packaging businesses. The group has been led by Fawcett since January 2023, having joined Essentra in 2010. Chair Paul Lester is due to step down later this year after a handover period to Good, who is the former chief executive of Low & Bonar and joined the Essentra board in July. |
Posted at 24/6/2024 09:37 by kinwah Essential, I think ESNT have enough manufacturing to be of interest to Rosebank. Reading Melrose's history they purchased two components businesses Dynacast and McKechnie. I knew McKechnie quite well. There was a fair bit of plastic injection moulding like ESNT. I'm struggling to think of many other companies who could be potential prey for Rosebank. Potentially CARR's engineering division which is being readied for sale is another potential transaction for Rosebank but it's a lot smaller than ESNT. One thing I find interesting about ESNT is how much trading is done in the closing auction. It looks as if someone is accumulating them. Anyway I think it's good value at this level. |
Posted at 29/11/2023 11:17 by 97peter NO NEWS??Why aren’t ESNT board of Directors and CEO, Management team pulling their finger out and selling the business globally , increasing sales and putting Peel Hunt on the naughty chair for being inept? Why no news and so going up? |
Posted at 31/10/2023 12:31 by 97peter I hope Perl Hint get on with and finish buying ESNT share buyback quicker and bigger numbers!! This should have been completed by now? They should be buying 100,000 shares per day now for 30 working days to get the job done and share price up to 180p??? Come on Peel Hunt, plus come on CEO and BoD start buying shares yourself and some confidence in the share on run up to Christmas!! |
Posted at 17/8/2023 14:02 by 97peter All, if as today at at 1500 there has been 170,000 shares traded. Even if only half are sells, why are Peel Hunt not buying 80,000 a day even at 152p.???? They should be buying at least 100,000 shares a day or be replaced by HL or another broker to buy shares for Essentra!! Or give another special divi of 7p a share in September to get rid of the 30 million still not spent on buyback????The CEOand board at best are inept!!! |
Posted at 16/8/2023 13:57 by km18 Essentra plc issued Interims for the half year ended 30th June 2023 this morning with H1 performance roughly in line with expectations. Revenue dipped 5.5% to £166.3m while adjusted operating profit increased to £23.0m. Statutory EPS moved back into positive territory at 2.6p. The balance sheet also strengthened considerably with net debt down to £8.3m from £309.9m a year earlier. Valuation is a little unhelpful with forward PE ratio at 13.1x in the 3rd quartile for the Chemicals sector. The share price also remains in a longer run correction and lacks positive momentum. ESNT is a share to monitor for the time being......from WealthOracle |
Posted at 16/8/2023 08:57 by 97peter Good luck philanderer try out ORCH, plus BBB. Plus STAF and GKP are picking up!! I think it will be next divi and maybe November before ESNT are sorted or Peel Hunt pull their finger out and buy 100,000 shares per day! |
Posted at 17/7/2023 14:31 by 97peter If the share price is going down and today there has been traded over 100,000 shares , if 75,000 of these are sells, why aren’t Peel Hunt buying more than the measly 58,000 shares a day? Last week over 1 million traded one day and still Peel Hunt trickle buy 60,000 shares per day!! It will be January before the 60 million pounds is spent? Maybe this is what ESNT board want to buy cheaper and cheaper buybacks? That way the special divi cost them nothing??Come on CEO and BoD give us some good news?? |
Posted at 02/2/2023 17:10 by waldron 02 February 2023ESSENTRA PLC SPECIAL DIVIDEND AND SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME Essentra plc ("Essentra" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of essential components and solutions, confirms its intention to return to shareholders, approximately GBP150m of the residual net transaction proceeds from the disposals of its Filters and Packaging divisions, which completed in Q4 of 2022. Following a recent consultation with a number of the Company's major shareholders, the Board has concluded that the return will be structured through a combination of a special dividend and a share buyback programme. Essentra will pay a special dividend of GBP90m, representing approximately 29.8 pence per ordinary share (the "Special Dividend"). The Company intends to pay the Special Dividend on 27 April 2023 to shareholders on the register of the Company as at 18:00 (UK time) on 21 March 2023. The ordinary shares will be marked ex-dividend on 20 March 2023(1) . The Board also confirms its intention to recommend a final ordinary dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2022, adjusted to the earnings of the continuing operations of the Group(2) . Details will be provided at the time of announcing the full year results on 22 March 2023. In addition to the GBP90m Special Dividend, the Board intends to initiate a share buyback programme of approximately GBP60m (the "Share Buyback"), which is expected to commence following the release of the full year results on 22 March 2023. |
