Hounslow - buy Reach, leave us alone please.

Future plc issued a pre-close FY trading update this morning. Encouraging performance has continued through to year end, management expect full year adjusted operating profit to be at the top end of market expectations, i.e. around £270m. The business has seen a return to organic audience growth in H2 as Covid comparators were fully lapped, combined with continued digital advertising growth and an improving trend in affiliates. Net profit and EPS should more than double in FY22. And valuation looks increasingly attractive after a more than 50% correction over the past 12 months. Share price has bounced 7% so far today and looks to be putting in a floor. The softer macro environment is the main risk, all else points to a solid, fast growing, profitable and favourably valued multi-media name. BUY...

Reach annual pension contribution expected to be a mere £55.1m in ‘22 …& £6m for phone hacking !

Massive short squeeze happening..

Reach pension deficit changes with interest...Must be surplus now

[ihatemms] 13/9/2022 11:36

Wolf - have you forgotten Reach’s pension deficit, failure to grow revenue,failure to agree tri-annual pension settlement,employee strikes. No wonder it’s on a a P/e of 3.

Btw I also own Reach but have reduced my holding over recent months.

Leverage(4) of 1.46x (FY 2021: 0.8x and down from 1.9x following the Dennis acquisition on 1 October). This reflects continued rapid de-levering, resulting in net debt(9) at the end of the half year of GBP388.7m (FY 2021: GBP176.3m). In May 2022, we extended our RCF facilities by GBP100m, with total facilities of GBP690m.

[buffetteer] 13/9/2022 11:08

Look at the margins then decide which had a moat and which does not

[wolfofhounslow] 13/9/2022 10:53

Reach plc better company

[johnrxx99] 13/9/2022 09:35

Very good update - back in (God help us)

[investopia] 31/7/2022 10:58

There was lots of buying in Friday's after-hours market. Another encouraging sign...

[investopia] 26/7/2022 17:38

I think that looks like an accumulation funnel on the chart with a widening mouth.

[wolfofhounslow] 21/7/2022 08:18

Reach is often compared with Future , in the hope that Reach will reproduce the success of Future . So , today , I note that Future's share price is up 6.37% ( 4.17% for Reach ) , p/e for Future is 13.31 ( 2.74 for Reach ) , and dividend yield is 0.15% for Future ( 6.72 % for Reach ) . All figures are from the admittedly unsophisticated Hargreaves Lansdown site . A subscription-only tip sheet recently commented about Reach " Based on eps of 33.8p and dividend of 7.5p for the current year , the p/e is 3.6 and yield 6.2% . I find it hard not to see incredible value here " . That was when the share price was £ 1.21 which , given that the price is now about £ 1.07 , explains the increasingly attractive p/e ratio and dividend yield as indicated now by Hargreaves Lansdown . Taking the recent cluster buying in the £ 1.22.9 - £ 1.24.7 range by directors as a hint , I have bought back in .

Thinks - has this bottomed?

[ihatemms] 17/6/2022 11:30

It will be interesting to see which of the shorters will be the first to start buying back the shares - Blackrock or Marble Arch to avoid being roasted. Whenever it happens I will buy shares on a big -time trade to increase their pain (as well as maintain my core holding). Current p/e just 10

[ihatemms] 17/6/2022 07:16

Another impressive TU. Eventually the market will have to rate this company on its fundamentals and growth record and the shorters will have to buy back at least 1.5m shares.

[johnrxx99] 11/6/2022 04:57

Doubt it. They are all in the same boat.

[ihatemms] 10/6/2022 15:16

This is on a current P/E of circa 10.5 . It’s getting really silly. Next TU est in circa 5 weeks .Big media players will be eyeing this up for sure because it’s in bargain territory.

[johnrxx99] 10/6/2022 09:13

Watching and waiting. Always impossible to call capitulation.
