...from last year...

Company overview:
Inchcape is a leading franchised automotive retailer in the UK, partnering with numerous like Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz etc. The complete focus on automotive retailing came around 1990. They have over 100 dealerships across the UK with more than 5500 employees. It is operating worldwide with venues in Australasia, Europe and Emerging Markets. Over the past 5 years they have adopted a growth strategy, which has helped them increase the number of markets where they operate from 26 to 34 and add new OEM partners to the portfolio. Their strategy is one of the key success factors, as they provide everything, from brand positioning, product planning, import and logistics, national marketing, parts distribution, new/old vehicles, and financing.
As with many automotive retailers, growth is blended, as they usually expand in new markets through acquisitions of already established chains. INCH is no different, with numerous acquisitions over the past 10 years and a goodwill figure of £119m. It has been significantly reduced since the highs of £500m and at 3% of total assets does not raise any red flags. Growth in revenue is mediocre at 0.004% CAGR, which is mainly due to the unappealing results from 2020 where revenues shrunk from £9.3bn to £6.8bn (bringing the company back to 2015). TTM figures are healthy at £7.75bn and the forecast for this year is in the same region. ROCE was very strong prior to the Covid crisis and seems to be recovering from last year’s negative figure. Moreover, the second-best ROC in the Automotive retailers on Stockopedia and the negative gearing are accompanied by a sumptuous dividend.
 Latest trading update for the third quarter has “increase in FY21 profit expectations” in the headline – what else would an investor look for? Group revenue for the quarter is up by 10% (organic basis) at £1.9bn, as the reported is actually only 2%. Management upgrades the PBT outlook for the year end to “at least £290m. Applying an average tax rate of 26% on this would result in a net profit in the region of £210-220m, which is far ahead of the expected figure on Stockopedia of £192m. Reported EPS based on this figure (keeping in mind the shares ion issue should be the same) would be above the 70p mark which is very close to full recovery of the pre-Covid performance. Outlook is positive, as managements believes the margins would outweigh the negative impact from the supply chain...

I think that depends on whether online ordering is going to be significant or not and the market didn't just decide that today.

Maybe there's been a few major investors taking a view on the combination of dropping consumption added to market correction added to general possible trading problems across continents (trade war rumours etc. etc.) - consumer slump - mini-recession.

Question is: how much worry is or has been already in the market.

I think people (including 'the market') are feeling that sooner or later hell will be unleashed.

Analysts and brokers won't want to be caught with their credibility pants down, so its safer to issue 'hold' and 'sell' than 'buy' at the moment.

Really surprised how dead this thread is.

No investors with opinions out there? How is a newbie going to learn?
