Telegraph tip...


Questor: We’re sticking with the maker of Vimto despite its 24pc share price slump

Nichols a sweet addition for Sanford DeLand


A newly-built position in Nichols (NICL), maker of Vimto, is already paying off for Sanford DeLand manager Eric Burns.

He has recently added to his position in the stock via his £68m CFP SDL Free Spirit fund where it became the top-performing stock in July after adding more than 20%.

‘This was particularly pleasing as we only finished building the position a month ago,’ Burns said.

‘Interim results showed progression in the group’s key profitability metrics and a material 18% hike in the interim dividend payment.’

For Burns, the ‘final sweetener’ was the announcement of a special dividend of 54.8p per share ‘returning around £20m of the £70m cash pile’.

‘It is nice to see the thesis of our investment decision starting to play out,’ he said.

The shares traded sideways at £11.49 yesterday and are up 9% over the past year.

Interesting given Labour are making noises regarding changes to the advantages of business relief for AIM listed companies. NICL, was originally listed on the FTSE 100, and many years ago decided to move to AIM, I assume that was to do with family tax planning. Family control around 35% of the shares.

Given that the company has indicated that they are reviewing options to release cash to shareholders, and I assume NICL family interest re potential reduction / removal of business relief, maybe the business might be due for significant review. Possible sale of the business ?

Not too long and we will hear what is said at interims, and maybe NICL is in play. Of course I might be way of the mark.

Was looking to pick up a few more, first thing, however around 11K went through in first couple of minutes lifting the share price and widening the spread. Interesting.

Maybe because Britvic has just refused a second bid, and there's some sentiment spillover into NICL. Although any acquisition of NICL will likely require the family's approval, as they speak for around 35% of the shares.

Still plodding along, picked up a few more first thing at 986p. Guess we'll just have to wait until interims update before any potential impact on share price. Hopefully, we should get an update on distribution of excess cash to shareholders, and what form that might take.

Been surprisingly calm last six months, slight uptick a few months ago but drifted back down again. Personally, I believe something is afoot to impact / suppress share price the last six months given the general market bullishness. Maybe it's a family member who left the business end of last year selling down their holding.

Having been on my watchlist for many years I have finally opened a position in Nichols (NICL ) and my very dear friend Paul Kerin and I cover this in the forthcoming episode of the ‘Desert Island Investor’

I suspect that there is an "overhang" in the NICL market. Business updates good, demonstrable progress, strong cash flow, new CFO and intention to review capital structure and return of excess cash to shareholders; yet the share price is lacklustre / weak.

Two things strike me :

1) Previous merger of two fund management co's, which led to a 5%+ holding in NICL, maybe a natural reduction to balance their new combined overall portfolio has been / is underway.

2) A Nichol family member left the business last autumn, remember he ran the OoH business. As a family member he held a significant number of shares. Maybe he is reducing his holding now he has left the business.

Now, this is just speculation on my part, as I have no direct knowledge, but it does feel like there has been a persistent selling pressure over many months.

I'm guessing that because Rathbones (not the bread people :)) and Investec have merged their asset management / Wealth Management businesses, and they released RNS declaring that Rathbones now holds ~ 6.4% in NICL. Since the RNS (25th September), there has been an increase in trading volumes and I am guessing that Rathbones are reducing their stake to below 5%, which would mean a sale of ~ 500,000 shares. Maybe that is causing a little indigestion.

Either way, at 936 (with very narrow spread) I decided to add some more, even though I am slightly wary about the potential for share price appreciation pending next set of results.

I assume that NICL CFO (Interim) will know if the above is the case, via NICL Brokers who would be able to determine if any selling pressure. I suppose that NICL could buy a few back for cancellation at these prices, or even tempt the Exec's to buy a few ?
