Hill & Smith offering value, says Peel Hunt


Specialist barrier manufacturer Hill & Smith (HILS) is offering ‘tremendous217; value, according to Peel Hunt.

Analyst Harry Philips retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and increased the target price from £23.10 to £25 on the stock, which inched up 0.2% to £21 on Friday.

It reported a positive start to the year, which allowed it to nudge current-year guidance higher. Earnings guidance for the year is expected to be slightly ahead of the current top-end estimate of £134.7m.

‘The backdrop is as expected, with strong market demand for infrastructure products in North America and a still tough UK,’ said Philips, who increased his earnings per share forecast.

‘Hill & Smith is a proven compounder, having delivered a 10-year [pre-tax earnings] compound annual growth rate of 11% from 2014,’ he said.

‘We are confident that this can be at least sustained given the company’s exposure to the growth dynamics within North American infrastructure and the fact that the company is not firing on all cylinders given the still tough end-market environment in the UK.’

He said the ‘quietly impressive compounder’ is offering ‘tremendous value’.

Nice steadily growing company under the radar of the rampers.

HILS: As per last year’s AGM statement: 2023 AGM statement “we expect full year 2023 operating profit to be modestly ahead of the top end of analyst expectations”. This year's AGM statement “we expect full year 2024 operating profit to be slightly ahead of the top end of analyst expectations”. Worth noting that in that time since the May 2023 AGM TU, the share price has appreciated something like 40%. Still looking rather attractive IMO.

Hill & Smith drives US revenues and profits


BUY

Hill and Smith plc posted healthy FY results for the year ended 31st December this morning. Revenues were up 13% to £829.8m, underlying PBT was up 27% to £111.9m and statutory EPS was up 29% to 86p. A final dividend of 28p was proposed, up 27% on the year, making a total dividend of 43p. The balance sheet remains solid with covenant leverage at 0.4x EBITDA allowing plenty more scope for organic and acquisitive expansion. Indeed, there has been more positive momentum on M&A in 2024 year to date with a further £11.6m investment across two acquisitions completed and the M&A pipeline is healthy. Valuation is no longer cheap with forward PE ratio at 17.1x, but the share price remains in an 18-month uptrend. BUY...
