300p incoming

[techtrader5] 19/1/2022 12:13

H&S though so Dodgy, could be a bull trap and just as easily retreat and then drop back to 250p.

Morgan Advanced Materials Ltd issued a trading update this morning. Sales for the first nine months of the year to September 2021 were 8.9% higher for the Group, on an organic constant-currency basis, compared to the same period last year. The outlook was pretty solid as well, full year organic constant-currency growth is expected to be around the top end of the previous guidance range of 7-9%. And operating margins are expected to improve driven by volume leverage, the benefit of the restructuring programme announced last year, and continuous improvement activities and pricing actions that continue to offset cost inflation. The company should post some pretty decent EPS growth in FY21 and FY22. Meanwhile valuation is attractive with forward PE ratio at 12, top quartile for the Machinery, Equipment and Components sector. The company is also high quality, both in terms of balance sheet and profitability ratios. BUY....keep up to date with stocks with WealthOracleAM

Tips for Morgan are few and far between, but it gets a buy in Shares magazine. Improving margins, driven by recovery tailwinds. Jefferies sees compelling value and a positive evolution.

Bought at 250p. Should I sell, top slice or let it run? The eternal dilemma for a PI.

[lindowcross] 06/5/2021 10:22

I've been invested since 2009. Sold out in 2016. Realised my error and bought back in 2018. A good, solid company owning specialist knowledge and skills.

[jazz319] 06/5/2021 10:14

You aren't alone TT.

Just to say the same again from almost two years ago, and brilliantly placed to ride the economic recovery. It seems I'm the only PI aware of this cracking little company; topped up another 10k two days ago, glad I did.

"Daily order intake in April and May was down around 30% compared to the prior year. During June and July we have seen this position improve slightly to a 20% decline in order intake year-on-year. Based on these trends we anticipate a continued revenue decline in the third quarter of 2020 versus prior year."


Understandable in the circumstances - but clearly not going to bounce back this year.


"In response to the significant downturn in aerospace demand, and the anticipated long-tail effect of this, the Group have announced the closure of Technical Ceramics ceramic cores manufacturing sites in the UK and North America. We are also closing sites and closing under-utilised production lines in the Thermal Ceramics business to align our capacity to lower industrial and automotive demand and restructuring other roles across the Group to align our cost base to the lower overall demand position.

Overall, this will result in the closure of eight of our manufacturing sites. We regret that this will lead to around 550 job losses ..:"

Solid performance in a difficult sales environment. Significant T/O potential - holding and might buy more.

Query - Concealed profit warning -
"Looking forward to 2019, we are likely to see slower growth in the key industrial economies in which we participate, and there are several macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainties which could have a significant impact. However, based on our current assessment of business trends and orders, we expect to deliver modest revenue growth in 2019, with efficiency savings delivering benefits to Group headline operating profit.'

Back in July IChron gave guidance of 24.4 p adj eps and in 25 Jan issue gave Fwd pe of 9.7 at 263 share price Operating profits in 1st half were up 24% so could well beat that.Just started to watch this one, as you say nice and quiet BB. Very tempted.

[elgordo] 09/11/2018 15:28

Hmmmm, I should have checked the data at source. FY 2017 results show basic EPS as 37.8p, headline EPS 22.5p. ADVFN, which I used as the source for post 16, shows P/E as 7.23 (so is based on basic EPS), whereas, for example, Hargreaves Lansdown shows 12.23 (based on headline EPS).

I have to admit that I don't know which would be the "usual" P/E to quote.

[spooky] 09/11/2018 14:22

Agree with everything else, but where did you get a PE of 7 from?

[elgordo] 09/11/2018 14:19

Surely the quietest thread for a FTSE250 company? P/E just over 7, yield of 4%, supported by a reassuring trading statement today whilst share price sitting 25% off its 2018 high - seems to me to make it worthy of at least a little more attention.

Read Panmure Gordon & Co's note on MORGAN ADVANCED MATERIALS PL (MGAM), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/company/GB0006027295
"Although the share price has fallen 32% in the past 12 months, we are still struggling to put together a compelling case for investment. We are not hiding behind last Friday’s trading update which was again littered with the word “challenging”; even when things were not challenging between 2012-2014, Morgan struggled to deliver. Essentially, we see nothing special about the new strategy which..."
