M&C Saatchi
Our view: Buy
Share price: 168p (+0p)
Arguably the most famous names in British advertising have also been one of the best performing stocks in the small caps over the past six months, adding more than 45 per cent since November.
Although the name is slightly misleading, with only Maurice of the Saatchi brothers playing any role in the running of the company, M&C Saatchi has been one of the fastest growing agencies in the sector. That said, it is still only capitalised at just under £90m, so growth has either stalled or there is plenty left in the tank.
Monday's departure of Christine Walker from Walker Media, an agency in which Saatchi has a 75 per cent stake, was well flagged. As a result of her departure analysts expect the company to buy up the remaining 25 per cent of the agency it does not already own.
Saatchi has built a strong European presence in the past two years by investing £3m in offices in Paris, Berlin and Madrid. This investment should drive growth by offering clients a pan-European approach to advertising while retaining a creative edge, without forcing clients down a more corporate route.
M&C Saatchi trades on a forward earnings multiple of 14 times forecast 2008 earnings, but with top-line growth accelerating and investment in new offices likely to take a back seat over the next 12 months there is scope for upgrades.
The advertising industry is never shy of a deal, and, while investors should not buy any stock based on takeover hopes, more consolidation should not be written off. If Saatchi stays independent, expect to see its valuation move more into line with its peers, meaning the stock remains a buy.
