'FTSE 350: Year of change for household goods'

Our biggest bear call remains PZ Cussons, which remains exposed to upcoming elections in Nigeria – a core but notoriously difficult market for the company of late. Indeed, challenges are expected to persist in most of the group’s key markets, so a catalyst for a potential share price recovery remains elusive for now.

Fidelity preview..


....there’s no getting away from the issues affecting its African business, which Cussons says will be dependent on the macro environment in Nigeria for the rest of the year.

It has in the past insisted it wouldn’t be selling it. So the best shareholders can probably hope for is a favourable outcome from next month’s Nigerian election, which could see more money flow into the economy although, of course, a close call could have the opposite effect.

Elsewhere, conditions are expected to remain challenging, with commodity costs and exchange rates still volatile. So a lot of things are still up in the air.

Analysts at Investec expect pre-tax profits of £85 million in the year to May 2019, up from just over £80 million in 2018, giving earnings per share of 14.7p, compared with 13.4p.
