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 09/10/2024 09:51 by davius Jefferies cuts Essentra price target to 215 (245) pence - 'buy' |
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 19/6/2024 18:23 by kinwah I'm surprised there is no interest in this share. It's in my top 10 most likely bid candidates. It's exactly the sort of bid target that the new 'Melrose', Rosebank Industries will be interested in acquiring. |
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 08/4/2023 09:00 by loads2 Analysis of Essentra Buy Backs Since Announcement vs Performance Shares GrantedSince Essentra announced recently its buy back programme a total of 1,179,639 shares have been bought back. However over the same period 1,201,238 of shares have been granted as performance awards to senior executives under Essentra's long term incentive plan. The buy back announcement stated at current market prices about 15 million shares will be bought back before 31 December. To date only 1.2 million shares have been bought back but these have effectively just been given to senior execs instead. So the effect is completely neutral which explains why peel hunt's purchases of shares are not leading to any increase in the essentra share price my concern is why are essentra not buying more shares now? are essentra expecting to get them cheaper before the end of the year? surely if essentra has faith in its own share price they should be buying them up now instead of buying up later when they expect the share price to go down i am also concerned about senior execs lining their own pockets here at shareholders expense |
Posted at 29/3/2023 09:26 by 97peter Looks very good Philanderer!!With share buyback possibly pushing share price up by 1p - 2p per week for roughly 5 months, taking share price back to 225 region by September, plus another 1p divi in May! I see good growth and a share price of 230p - 245p by October very possible given growth, acquisitions and increased sales and revenue! |
Posted at 03/3/2023 12:49 by kenmitch 97peterBuybacks don’t mean automatic higher share price. If it did we would all buy Companies buying back for a guaranteed profit! There are many examples of buybacks being followed by a falling share price. e.g Abdn have been buying back their shares for several years, starting them at £5 which ended up the peak, and the share price subsequently fell to just £1.40 before recent recovery to £2.20. The huge special dividend is the big bonus, and there’s a goodish chance that the share might have a bit of a run ahead of ex dividend date on 20th March. |
Posted at 23/2/2023 17:15 by kenmitch Special dividend; great. Share buyback; waste of money imo.Time and time again Companies buyback their shares only to see the share price go even lower. Special dividends reward shareholders with real money. There are so many examples of buybacks not rewarding shareholders as intended. e.g Whitbread “rewarded̶ e.g Abdn started their buybacks at £5 several years ago and continued with them for years….as the share price dropped from £5 to a low of just £1.40. |
