Miton’s low valuation ‘unjustifiable’, says Peel Hunt

There is a ‘valuation opportunity’ at investment manager Miton Group (MGR), which is set to deliver growth, says Peel Hunt.

Analyst Stuart Duncan retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 60p on the stock after final results that showed it is in an ‘attractive position’ and has the ‘ability to deliver further growth in coming years’. The shares were trading at 43p yesterday.

‘There is a clear valuation opportunity just now with Miton,’ he said. ‘There is a good stream of earnings upgrades and the announced step change in the dividend means the stock is now yielding 4% based on December 2018 forecasts.’

He said the stock was trading at an enterprise value/earnings ratio of 8.6x, against a sector average of 12.6x.

‘We continue to believe this is completely unjustified,’ said Duncan.

Simon Thompson revisits in an IC Online article today. Won't post the whole shortish article as a subscription site; but this is the summary:

========================================================

Stuart Duncan (Peel Hunt) has just raised his 2018 pre-tax profit estimate from £7.3m to £7.7m to produce EPS of 3.8p, up from 3.4p in 2017, and predicts a 20 per cent hike in the payout to 1.7p a share.

On this basis, Miton’s shares are priced on a forward PE ratio of eight net of cash on the balance sheet, and offer a prospective dividend yield of 4 per cent. That represents value in my book and I am raising my target price from 50p to 55p. Buy.

Hi Sky,

thanks for clarifying.

Reading the annual report - The final tranche of Growth Shares will be eligible to exchange into plc shares in September 2018, thereafter all fund manager remuneration will will be recognised via profit and loss rather than through share dilution.

Could this be potentially be lucrative to shareholders in your opinion? If they are having to spend £6M to counter-act the share dilution - or would it simply just replacing that expense with higher bonus payments?

Hi again JW:

Buybacks are by and large conducted for 3 reasons:

# To raise underlying NAV - as per propcos & trusts
# To raise underlying EPS - as per most "conventional" trading cos
# To provide liquidity and remove a stock overhang - as per the MGR buyback to remove stock resulting from the Growth Share Plan

In our case the buyback stock was bought @ 39.6p, this being a premium to the underlying NAV, accordingly the deal slightly reduced the remaining NAV - by c2%, ie 0.62p

The effect on the EPS was to raise the figure by 0.084p - pretty negligible

So not much statistical difference for shareholders; but the benefit of both removing the overhang and reducing the number of shares sharing in the future growth.

E&OE

Hi Sky,

don't say regret - I like being proven wrong - means I'll actually learn something! Look forward to your reply.

This looks in great shape. Tempting to add more at what are pretty low levels. The Ex-dividend date is only a couple of weeks away too.

Nice increase in the dividend. I'm happy to hold as I think they are a better than average manager. Not 1st quartile, but definitely 2nd quartile.

Yes, Miton doing well. They seem to be in a nice spell of putting one foot in front of another rather than the usual 2 feet forward and 1 back. No mess-up's for a year or so. That being said if you can't make good money at this point in the cycle you are doing something wrong!

On a day of carnage in the market nice to see MGR post a 9% gain the day they post their Final results.

Way to go IMO

Still think the share offers good value.

£77M Market Cap
circa £20M in Cash
Circa £6M Profit.

Share price in last 12 months - sideways.

However, looking a bit deeper, I think the business has been very generous with shareholders in the past year.

Dividend cover is 2.34. The dividend of 1.4p is costing the business £2.1M, but they have also bought & cancelled £6M of shares this year, which would roughly equate to 4.2p per shareholder. The combined total of dividend & share cancel is therefore roughly 5.6p a share (so 10% growth for the shareholder). Net cash has only marginally dropped from £21.3M to £19.9M as a result of this.

To conclude, whilst the share price has gone sideways the past year, this might not give a full account of the business and hopefully they will continue with the buying back & cancelling shares at this range whilst the business is cash positive.

Agreed, reads positively; and now paying a useful dividend - 1.4p = a yld of 3.5%.

Results out; look very good and just ahead of (upgraded) broker estimates.

At start of 2017 Stuart Duncan estimated year end AUM at £2.9bn. He later upgraded (in dec 2017) to £3.7bn.

Final figure was £3.8bn

Results are due on Monday. Miton have 7.5m shares in CVR so it will be interesting to see if they make any post year end comment on this.
