https://citywire.com/funds-insider/news/expert-view-rolls-royce-entain-virgin-wines-pennon-gamma/Market underestimating Gamma, argues Peel HuntThe market is failing to reflect the potential at Gamma Communications (GAMA) despite another year of growth, says Peel Hunt.Analyst James Lockyer reiterated his 'buy' recommendation and increased the target price from £13.80 to £16.50 on the telecoms group, which rose 0.7% to £13.60 on Monday.Full-year 2023 results were in line with expectations, with earnings up 9%, ahead of the 8% rise in revenues thanks to operational leverage. Following acquisitions, Lockyer increased full-year 2024 and 2025 revenues by 1% and earnings by 3% and 4%, respectively.'At 9.7 times full-year 2024 embedded value to [pre-tax profits], we think the market fails to reflect the growth potential and profitability Gamma has to offer versus peers,' he said.'Another encouraging year of growth and significant cash generation leave Gamma with £13m of net cash in the bank.'Lockyer said the £35m buyback presents a 'shrewd allocation of capital given the current valuations, but the priority remains investing in organic growth and acquisitive activity to bolster exposure in underpenetrated markets.'

Well, I'm happy to hold although I think that any further movement up will be artificially driven by the buybacks.
If it gets close to £15 I would be tempted to take some profit.
They have always impressed with their cash generation.

I suggest you review the source of your 'consensus' figures john, as they are incorrect, they actually came in slightly ahead on PBT, hence why shares opened up.

Progressive Equity Research note.

"Gamma’s results for the year ended 31 December are in line with the expectations confirmed in the January trading update. Revenue of £521.7m is 8% ahead of FY22, with gross profit at £267.2m showing the same progress. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 9% and PBT by 10%, although the impact of higher tax rates was seen in the 5% increase in adjusted EPS. Cash generation was strong once again, with 108% adjusted cash conversion. Year-end cash of £134.8m is £42.3m above the year before, even after the £30.5m in acquisition spend. Perhaps the most anticipated element of today’s news is the statement regarding the £35m share buyback programme, alluded to in the January trading update. On an operational basis, Gamma is making good progress in Business, Enterprise and Europe. For those looking at ‘undervalued’ UK equities, Gamma’s growth stands out."

I thought the same but assumed I'd missed something. Regardless of the semantics it's still a good set of results imo plus (unlike the normal rhetoric in these matters) a decent outlook.

That was their update in January: "The latest known sell-side analyst estimates for the full year ended 31 December 2023 are adjusted EBITDA GBP113.8m - GBP116.0m and adjusted EPS 74.2 pence - 77.4 pence."The results exactly in that range. What did they missed?

Missed concensus statutary PBT by GDP4m and eps by over 20p. If the market accepts the "alternative measures", may be OK today at open.

results look fine, flattered somewhat by working capital unwinding, good progress in Europe is excellent.

Patience will be a virtue for investors in these two smaller companiesQuestor Inheritance Tax Portfolio: sooner or later sentiment will turn in their favour of these two Aim stocksRobert Stephens9 February 2024 • 6:00am 1Investing in shares is at times a very frustrating experience. An investor can do all of the right things, such as buying high-quality companies that go on to deliver strong financial performance, but still fail to generate large profits on their holdings for sustained periods.This situation is likely to resonate with investors in British shares, and especially those who own stakes in smaller companies, which have become extremely unpopular since the FTSE Aim All-Share index soared to a 20-year high in September 2021.The index has subsequently fallen by around 43pc. Judging by the downbeat outlook currently adopted by most investors, a return to the heady days of plentiful capital growth seems highly unlikely in the short run.Aim All-share performanceFrom 11 Feb '19 to 8 Feb 13:16:5720202021202220232024-40.0%-20.0%0.0%20%40%? AIM All-Share: 905.4 ? 753.4-16.8%In Questor's view, investors in smaller companies must accept their limitations. There is little they can do except ensure that their current holdings are financially sound, performing well and still offer fair value for money, as well as force themselves to be patient. After all, history suggests that underperforming high-quality stocks are only ever a temporary phenomenon.For example, Gamma Communications, a holding in our Inheritance Tax Portfolio, trades at the same level as in May 2019.Although the telecoms company's shares are 87pc higher since their addition to our IHT portfolio in January 2018, and have therefore vastly outperformed the FTSE Aim All-Share index's 30pc decline, all of their capital growth essentially came in the first 16 months of our notional ownership.Gamma key factsMarket value: £1.2bnTurnover (Dec 2022): £485mPre-tax profits (Dec 2022): £65mYield (Dec 2022): 1.3pcMost recent year's dividend: 15pNet debt (Dec 2022): £81m net cashReturn on capital (Dec 2022): 15pcCash conversion ratio (Dec 2022): 130pcp/e ratio (Dec 2022): 16.6The company's latest trading update, published last month, showed that it was performing in line with financial guidance that was upgraded at the time of its interim results in September. Those results showed a 9pc rise in revenue and a 12pc increase in pre-tax profits. Since then, the company has made two acquisitions and has the financial strength to engage in further M&A activity.It has net cash of £135m and strong cash flow further enhances its capacity to make purchases at a time when asset prices are depressed. It has also sought to improve efficiency by undertaking a restructuring that involves a combined management team for its Dutch and German businesses. And with its operations in Britain successfully mitigating high inflation through price rises, profit margins are relatively unchanged relative to the first half of the financial year.Gamma Communications share priceFrom 11 Feb '19 to 8 Feb 13:22:24202020212022202320240.0%50%100%150%200%? Gamma Communications PLC: 748.7 ? 1184.058.1%Trading at around 16 times forecast earnings, Gamma's shares are by no means cheap. There are countless smaller businesses whose lower valuations could tempt bargain-seeking investors. But the company's sound balance sheet and encouraging financial performance make it worthy of a premium valuation compared with riskier small-company rivals.While its share price performance over recent years has undoubtedly been frustrating, this column remains upbeat about its capacity to generate further capital growth over the long run.

Well, I have decided to hang on this time and see if it can break the £12 line. Personally I will give it until the next set of results and review at that point.

Only slight downside I can see is 'Goodwill' is a bit excessive, but offset by many positives.
