Posted at 14/11/2024 17:55 by indiestu Limited growth so not interesting to a growth investor. Poor dividend yield so not interesting to a value investor. It leaves it in no mans land. Put it on the watch list and be ready to buy when the market collapses and the yield looks interesting. |
Posted at 22/7/2024 14:44 by someuwin QinetiQ's growth outpacing defense budget, says Berenberg in stock ratingPublished 07/22/2024, 03:38 AM On Monday, Berenberg increased its price target on Qinetiq Group (LSE:QQ) (OTC: QNTQY) to £5.50, up from the previous £4.45, while reiterating a Buy rating on the stock. The firm's confidence in the company's performance has been bolstered following a recent teach-in with Qinetiq's CEO and interim-CFO, which took place after the company's first-quarter trading update on July 18. The analyst noted that the insights gained from the teach-in have strengthened their belief in Qinetiq's ability to grow faster than the overall defence budget. The company appears to be well-positioned to achieve its mid-term guidance, according to the analyst's observations. During the session with the company's executives, it was highlighted that Qinetiq is adjusting its capital allocation strategy to prioritize shareholder returns. This shift is seen as a positive move, likely contributing to the analyst's decision to raise the price target. Qinetiq Group, which operates in the defence sector, has been the subject of analytical focus due to its performance and strategy. The updated price target reflects a more optimistic outlook on the company's future financial prospects and its commitment to delivering value to its shareholders. In other recent news, Qinetiq Group has caught the attention of Citi, which has increased its price target for the company's shares to GBP5.30, up from the prior GBP4.57. The change is attributed to Qinetiq Group's strong commitment to shareholder returns, robust growth in its main business, and a favorable defense spending environment. The company's leadership has demonstrated a willingness to distribute capital to shareholders, mitigating concerns about potential high-cost acquisitions. Analysts have expressed optimism about Qinetiq Group's FY24 free cash flow figures, expecting the company's strong cash generation to persist in the medium term and provide flexibility for additional capital returns. Qinetiq Group's strategy also involves aiming for high single-digit top-line growth to hit their FY27 sales target of £2.4 billion. Given these recent developments, Citi continues to recommend investors to buy Qinetiq Group's stocks and has raised its price target accordingly. |

Posted at 16/1/2024 07:08 by someuwin QinetiQ Group plcThird Quarter Trading Update and Share Buyback Programme 16 January 2024 - QinetiQ Group plc ("QinetiQ" or the "Group") today issues a trading update covering its third quarter and announces its intention to commence a share buyback programme to return up to GBP100 million to shareholders over 12 months. On-track to deliver full year expectations The Group has delivered good operational performance in the third quarter, with continued organic revenue growth and operating profit margin in line with our expectations. Order intake has continued to remain strong, with year-to-date orders at circa GBP1.35bn and revenue under contract for the full year improving to 95%, higher than this time last year. As expected, cash generation has been very strong with cash conversion significantly above 100% in the quarter. We are now back in-line with our normal cash profile and on-track to deliver 90%+ cash conversion for the full year, as previously guided. Overall, the Group is making good progress and we remain on-track to deliver in line with expectations for FY24 [1] . EMEA Services has continued to perform particularly well with strong revenue growth offsetting modestly lower Global Solutions revenue, due to longer than expected continuation of US market uncertainty and budget delays. Reflecting this Avantus revenue growth will be around the lower end of our second half expectations, however the business continues to win significant new business strategically aligned to national defence and security priorities, pleasingly ahead of our plan, with $872m [2] of new contract awards so far this year. Strong orders momentum and good programme execution, demonstrated by the successful transition of the Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) under our operational control ahead of schedule in December, underpins our continued confidence in Avantus delivering our medium and long-term growth expectations. Capital allocation and launch of GBP100m share buyback programme Our strategy to deliver long-term sustainable growth is unchanged and underpinned by our disciplined capital allocation policy. As explained at our Investor Seminar in October 2023, we continuously evaluate the deployment of our capital to maximise value through organic and inorganic investments and to deliver healthy returns for our shareholders, whilst maintaining a prudent balance sheet. During the third quarter we have continued to manage our pipeline of inorganic opportunities, but at this present time no potential acquisitions meet our rigorous strategy-led and financial criteria. Given the strength of the Group's balance sheet, the highly cash generative nature of the business and the Board's view of the current undervaluation of the Group, we have concluded that now represents a compelling time to return excess capital to shareholders. We are therefore pleased to announce the launch of a GBP100m share buyback programme in February 2024, subject to shareholder approval, that we expect to complete over the next 12 months. The proposed share buyback programme represents an attractive use of our capital to drive shareholder value, whilst maintaining leverage less than 1.5x (net debt/EBITDA) and maintaining the financial flexibility to invest in the ongoing execution of our strategy to deliver sustainable growth and attractive returns. Steve Wadey, Group Chief Executive Officer said: "QinetiQ has a critical role in ensuring our customers across our home countries of the UK, US and Australia have the defence and security capabilities they need. Our excellent order intake demonstrates the continuing demand for our high-value, cutting-edge services and products. Our operational performance in the third quarter underlines our confidence in delivering another year of good organic growth at stable margins with strong cash conversion. "Given the Group's high cash generation and confidence in the long-term outlook, we are pleased to announce the launch of a GBP100m share buyback programme to increase returns to shareholders, whilst maintaining the ability to deliver our long-term growth strategy." |
Posted at 25/10/2023 06:30 by someuwin QinetiQ Group plc25 October 2023 News release QinetiQ Group plc Investor Seminar: Drivers of our sustainable growth 25 October 2023 - QinetiQ Group plc ("QinetiQ" or "the Group") today is hosting a seminar where we will outline our overall strategy and drivers of our sustainable growth. 1. UK Intelligence - a high growth GBP400m revenue business that has delivered 28% CAGR [1] over the last 4 years, well positioned as a critical partner to our UK defence and intelligence customers; 2. United States - a $600m revenue disruptive mid-tier defence and intelligence business following our successful acquisition of Avantus last year, with significant growth momentum and a qualified pipeline of opportunities of over $2bn; and 3. Australia including global threat representation - an A$400m revenue specialist advisory, engineering and threat representation products and services business with significant global growth opportunities. The defence and security context worldwide has heightened the need for our six distinctive offerings giving significant growth potential within our >GBP30bn addressable market. We have delivered 9% organic revenue growth over the last four years, over twice the rate of growth in the defence budgets of our three home countries: the UK, US and Australia. Defence budgets are increasing around the world and we expect to continue delivering growth outpacing those budgets, driven by our structural alignment to high priority market segments that are increasing at faster rates. Based upon our clear strategy and unique set of distinctive offerings, we have a robust plan to grow our company organically to GBP2.4bn revenue [2] at stable margins, with optionality for strategic acquisitions to reach our GBP3bn revenue(2) ambition at 11-12% underlying operating profit margin and ROCE [3] at the upper end of the 15-20% range. We have a clear and robust capital allocation policy and are targeting to maintain a prudent balance sheet with leverage [4] under 1.5x. With capital intensity reducing we expect to see cash flow yields improve over the next few years. The seminar will be presented at 101 Park Avenue in New York. You are invited to join us from 08:15 EDT to see a selection of our capabilities and products, as well as meet our leadership team. The presentation will start at 09:00 EDT (14:00 BST) and there will be an option to view online if you cannot join us in person. Access to the event is via registration on our website: A recording of the seminar will be available at www.QinetiQ.com/inve |
Posted at 16/6/2023 13:29 by blueclyde RNS re Blackrock selling down some of their stake seems to be the reason this did not fly on fantastic guidance. I can see Blackrock sold down across various stocks which is probably due to rebalancing as investors continue to flea Brexit Britain. Hopefully this share can now rise steadily. |

Posted at 04/11/2021 09:55 by unctuous rimau1, We’re down more than 20% now. That’s equivalent to the market saying that we’ll never make another cent in the US market. Which is nonsense. The panic is because when UK investors see unquantified contract problems, margin pressures etc. they think it’s another Carillion. It isn’t. It’s a huge buying opportunity. |
Posted at 04/11/2021 09:10 by volvo rimau I agree with initial thoughts re the US, but in the phone in with investors following the TS the CEO and CFO continually talk of a short term problem with a max £15m price tag, hopefully much less, all working hard to mitigate problem and come up with solutions.Also states hopefully further more positive update with results which are in line with expectations. |
