Market Talk: 

Chemring to Report Upbeat Start to Year

1412 GMT - Defense group Chemring is tipped to report a good start to 2019-20 in a first-quarter update on March 4. Peel Hunt says the new management of the company, which makes flares and other military countermeasures, has made a lot of progress in improving the underlying quality of the business and the balance sheet is in good shape again. "We expect FY20 to have started well, and with the business in better shape, we sense management will start to focus more on business and product development," Peel's Henry Carver says, reiterating the brokerage's add recommendation.

 

Ashtead Shares Risk Exposure to Economic Turbulence

1319 GMT - Ashtead Group's shares look vulnerable to economic volatility, AJ Bell says ahead of the company's third-quarter results on March 3. Despite concerns over a global economic slowdown, AJ Bell points to a rally in the construction-equipment rental company's shares over the last year, as investors held out hopes that US interest-rate cuts and a trade deal between Washington and Beijing would provide fresh impetus in 2020. Commentary suggesting that the fall in purchasing managers' index data may be bottoming out has also buoyed the mood. However, "investors had better be right because if they're wrong and a slowdown or recession comes around the corner, that could leave Ashtead's shares pretty exposed," AJ Bell's Russ Mould says.

 

United Utilities Shares Look Generously Priced

1245 GMT - United Utilities Group shares are closing in on their peak valuation, says Credit Suisse, cutting its recommendation on the water-and-waste group to neutral from outperform. Shares are up 32% on a total return basis since September as political and regulatory risks are perceived to have passed, the Swiss brokerage says. "We see the shares price in generous assumptions on returns in the forthcoming price control, covering April 2020 to March 2025. We raise our price target to 920 pence per share," analyst Mark Freshney says. Shares fall 3.3% to 945 pence.

 

Rightmove's Annual Results Don't Justify Share Price

1216 GMT - Rightmove's full-year financials are in line with expectations, but there are some niggles, says Barclays. The brokerage believes the shares are too expensive and that the company will struggle to achieve more than 4-5% organic growth in 2020. The market is giving a major benefit of the doubt that growth will accelerate in outer years. "Overall we don't think these results are strong--and don't merit the run the shares have had," Barclays analysts say. "We see much more attractive opportunities in EU internet." Barclays has an under-weight/positive recommendation and 500 pence price target on the shares, which fall 4.2% to 608 pence.

 

WPP Likely to Deliver North America Sales Improvement in 2020

1210 GMT - WPP is likely to deliver an improvement in organic net sales in North America this year, following years of declines, Morningstar says. The London-based advertising giant expects flat growth in 2020 as one more quarter remains for its big account losses to cycle through, Morningstar says. Weakness in U.S. consumer-packaged goods spending continued in the fourth quarter of 2019, but there are signs this is subsiding and demand for WPP's creativity services in other industries did strengthen, Morningstar says.

 

Rightmove Customer Decline to Continue in Short-Term

1142 GMT - Rightmove shares fall 4.1% to 609 pence after the property-website group said it expected customer numbers to continue to drop in the first half. Rightmove said increased activity following December's U.K. general election may take some months to feed through to the cash flow of its smallest customers and it therefore expects a continuation of the second-half 2019 trend of declining agency branch numbers in the short term. "Overall we make no changes to forecasts, as guidance overall is consistent with expectations," Peel Hunt analysts say. "We maintain our reduce recommendation and 570 pence target price."

 

IAG's Uncertain 2020 Outlook Worries Investors

1140 GMT - IAG's outlook for 2020 is uncertain as the coronavirus spreads and investors worry, says Bernstein. The U.S. brokerage says it continues to like IAG's equity story in the long term, and that it is confident that a downturn would reveal the strength of its model. However, for investors to take a position in the shares now they need to be confident in the overall global macro outlook, and the future path of the coronavirus outbreak, both of which are out of the company's control. Bernstein has an outperform rating on the stock and a 700 pence target price. Shares are down 3% at 499.50 pence.
