Posted at 23/10/2020 06:05 by eezymunny Proper kerching. A nice win for value investors. Price here has looked to have great downside protection since spring. A monster for me. Cheers m'lud! |
Posted at 15/7/2020 07:13 by eezymunny An interesting one MCS. As you say brwo valued way below tangible book which is held at cost. Prices of their properties would have to fall through the floor for an investor to lose money here. Might happen of course, but I find the balance sheet makes it more attractive than the mainstream builders, some of whom are valued way above book. Will be some time before buyers come out in force for retirement properties of course...Encouraging that they haven't impaired any inventory (yet!). |

Posted at 12/4/2018 09:55 by speedsgh McCarthy undervalued by investors, says Jefferies - A review of ground rents has left investors wary of McCarthy & Stone (MCS) but Jefferies believe the retirement home developer is offering the potential for high growth for ‘many years’. Analyst Anthony Codling retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 267p on the shares, which fell 3.7% to 132p yesterday. ‘McCarthy currently trades below current year 2018 net book value, whereas the broader UK housebuilding sector trades at more than a 50% premium,’ he said. ‘It seems to us that currently investors cannot see past McCarthy’s ground rent [review], but we see significant upside for the price of McCarthy’s shares once it leaves [this] behind.’ He added that the company was ‘the market-leading provider’ for homes for people aged 55-plus and ‘given the profile of the UK’s ageing population, we believe that the market for age-specific housing has the potential for high growth for many years’. |
Posted at 29/3/2018 11:28 by speedsgh Illsley hails best opportunity in builders since 2008 - JPM UK Equity Core fund manager James Illsley believes Brexit has handed investors their third big chance this century to invest in house builders. House builders have been hit by a slowing housing market this year but Citywire A-rated Illsley believes there is still value in the sector which is fast falling out of favour. He said there had been three opportunities to buy into house builders since 2000, with the first during the dotcom bubble. While everyone was buying tech companies ‘that had just been set up in someone’s garage’ Illsley bought housebuilders with ‘good land banks, good franchises, and good business models on less than book value’. ‘We were buying a company at less than the value of its land and buildings,’ he said. ‘We then know that housebuilders and lots of value stocks then outperformed until 2006/7.' Instead of ‘realising that value was an outperforming strategy over the long haul’ and using the financial crisis to buy into housebuilders, investors still made excuses, said Illsley. ‘Post financial crisis, it got worse, you could buy house builders on a third of book value. We were buying Barratt Developments (BDEV) on about 0.3 times,’ he said. Fast forward to today and Brexit has created another opportunity to buy house builders which are now ‘emotionally valued and out of favour’. ‘Investors find reasons not to buy an undervalued, depressed sector,’ he said. ‘Again, post-Brexit, Bellway (BWY) was one of the key stocks we bought at book value.’ However, he is only positive on the outlook for house builders that are supported by government initiatives, such as the Help to Buy scheme. He noted that the UK housing market was still under-supplied, with just 200,000 houses a year being built out of the 250,000 needed but said it was a ‘two-speed market’. 'The new build market is supported by government action, like Help to Buy… the secondary market is not as strong as new build,' he said. This means while new build company Bellway is a ‘buy’ for Illsley, McCarthy & Stone (MCS), which specialises in retirement homes, is not. ‘With McCarthy & Stone you have to sell your home to buy a retirement home,’ he said. ‘It relies on the secondary market to realise proceeds. The secondary market has been weak and slow.’ This means that McCarthy & Stone has had to offer greater incentives to potential buyers, such as part-exchanges on their homes. |
Posted at 19/10/2017 12:56 by 7kiwi That's true duckdown,ANd of course, mainstream estate agents are poor at selling the benefits you so eloquently set out. MCS did have their own estate agency a few years ago, but the PE investors shut it down. |
Posted at 07/9/2017 15:00 by speedsgh Ground rent cut ‘means fewer flats’ - Britain’s biggest retirement housing builder has said that any moves by the government to reduce ground rents for new-build flats to a peppercorn rate would cause the developer to build fewer homes for the elderly. McCarthy & Stone, which controls 70 per cent of the retirement housing market, specialises in apartments and sells most of them leasehold, with the freehold sold to private companies. The ground rent charged by the private investors starts at about £450 per year and rises in line with the retail prices index every 15 years. Last year McCarthy & Stone made 4 per cent of its revenue, about £27 million, by selling freeholds to investors. The government has launched a consultation into whether it should ban developers from selling new-build properties leasehold, or whether the ground rent on new leases should be restricted to a nominal rent. Clive Fenton, chief executive, said that capping ground rent at a peppercorn rate would deter investors from buying the freehold. “These are not windfall profits, these are brought into our land appraisal and impacts how much we can afford to pay for land,” he said. The warning came as the group, which suffered a 25 per cent fall in pre-tax profits in its first half, said in a trading statement that it had largely recovered after an initial slump in profits after the EU referendum last year. |

Posted at 26/11/2015 10:16 by argylerich Used to be an investor here too before it was bought out. I'm interested in the sector but at a P/E of 60+ the timing doesn't look right for me yet.It looks as though they've remained purely with the retail model from what I can read from the accounts, although does anyone know if they've started dabbling in these leases which have sell on charges to the owners? Good luck to holders. |
