16/5/2014 08:04	IMS and AGM. "We continue to anticipate improvement in growth and profitability in the second half of 2014 as market conditions are expected to improve and comparatives become easier." Cantor Group organic growth was just 0.3% in the four month to 30 April vs. +7% this time last year. Growth at constant exchange rates was +3.6% (+3.3% contribution from acquisitions) and at actual exchange rates sales were down 4.9%. There was strong growth in the consumer goods, commercial & electrical and chemicals & pharma divisions. However the group's overall performance was affected by deferrals of some energy industry capital projects and minerals also remained weak. In addition, the decision to exit low value contracts in the Industry division also had an adverse impact (this had already been flagged). Excluding these low value contracts, sales growth would have been +1.5%. The operating margin is said to have improved slightly reflecting the positive impact of restructuring. This is in-line, however, with our modelling assumptions, +20bps increase to 15.9% in FY14E. We are currently forecasting organic growth of 5% for FY14E, expecting this to be 2H weighted as comps start to ease (1H13A +6.3%; 2H13A +2.3%). However, the start of the year has been slightly slower than we had been anticipating with quarterly trends continuing to weaken (1Q13 +7%, 2Q13 +5.6%, 3Q13 +3%, 4Q13 +1.6%). The outlook statement highlights that management continues to anticipate improvement in growth and profitability in 2H14 as market conditions improve and comps ease. The shares are trading on a FY14E P/E of 20.9x and FY15E PE of 18.9x vs. a through the cycle average of 19x. However, we note that the discount with its two European listed peers is close to a 5 year high. Peers SGS SA (SGSN VX NC) is on 24.7x FY14E and 22.2x FY15E and Bureau Veritas SA (BVI FP NC) is on 23.6x and 21.2x respectively. Bureau Veritas recently reported on its 1Q14 trading figures. Group organic growth picked up from +1.6% 4Q13 to +2.7% 1Q14A. We maintain our HOLD recommendation and TP of 3,065p. RBC Our view: Q1 growth was a little weaker than expected, which results in another downgrade to forecasts. Whilst we like the fundamentals of the story and believe growth will improve into H2, valuation remains an issue and we are less optimistic than the market on medium-term margin progression. Key points: Q1 trading The Q1 trading statement was a touch weak with organic revenue growth of only 0.3% (vs. 1.5% expected) for the first 4 months, with margins improved slightly. Growth has slowed further from the 1% in Nov/Dec, impacted by contract shedding as expected, along with weakerthan- expected activity in the energy infrastructure market and tough trading in Minerals. The outlook is mixed, pointing to variable market conditions, although management anticipates improvement in growth and profitability in H2. Forecasts reduced We have reduced our 2014 and 2015 EPS forecasts by 3%. We now forecast organic revenue growth of 2.7% for the FY and +20bp on the margin. This clearly implies a material pick-up in H2, although comparatives do get easier (H113 +6.3%, H213 +2.3%). We expect the currency impact for the FY to be -7%, slightly more than the -6% we had previously forecast. Medium-term growth prospects sound We continue to believe top-line prospects remain sound over the medium term, given that strong structural growth drivers remain (increasing need for energy infrastructure as middle class emerges, changing trade patterns, continuing technology and product development, increase in domestic consumers) and the potential for bolt-on acquisitions. The potential for the opening up of the Chinese market over time is a further opportunity. But we are below consensus We are less optimistic on margins than the market factoring in +30bp over 2 years vs. consensus of +70bp. This primarily reflects concerns around mix and investment costs. As a result, our 2015 forecasts were c6% below consensus (before today). Valuation The stock has underperformed the market by 13% over the last 12 months, but consensus forecasts have come down by around 16% so the stock has kept its premium rating (15E PE 20x, FCF yield 3.9%). Whilst trading should be approaching a cyclical low point and growth should improve from here, valuation, in our view, remains full. Our price target nudges down to 2950p from 3000p as a result of the EPS downgrades today.	miata	Read Full Thread Reply

17/5/2013 12:31	SocGen. We cut our target price by 5% from 3,700p to 3,500p, based on a DCF valuation inputting a WACC of 7.1% (was 7.0%); medium-term sales CAGR of 5%, perpetuity FCF growth of 2.5%, and a normalised EBITA margin of 17.1% (was 17.4%). We maintain our Hold rating on A 3% 12m projected TSR. Although the stock is trading on high multiples we think this captures the group's capacity to generate 7% organic growth (as indeed it did in the first four months of this year) despite a difficult macro context and a high comparison base.	miata	Read Full Thread Reply
