Extracts Sanford DeLand also owns a stake in RWS, Eric Burns of Sanford DeLand comments Interim results published earlier this month “We are naturally wary of large acquisitions but RWS is a company with a track record of pulling them off,” Burns said. “Pleasingly, its latest purchase also seems to be bang on track, with, if anything, more synergies than originally identified.” He said a bigger surprise had been the decision of the chief executive, Richard Thompson, .... “This always raises questions so soon after a major deal but it was seemingly driven by issues of remuneration rather than strategy,” Burns said. He said the long-term appeal of the business, its position in sectors such as technology and life sciences, remained. “These areas are fast growing, partly thanks to regulatory demands. We can make an analogy with the Gold Rush, where the providers of the picks and shovels” – in this case the translators of patents as opposed to the businesses behind the innovations themselves – “were the ones to back.”

From the Telegraph/Questor Institutional investor quote “He said a bigger surprise had been the decision of the chief executive, Richard Thompson, who had been with the company since 2012, to step down to pursue other interests. “This always raises questions so soon after a major deal but it was seemingly driven by issues of remuneration rather than strategy,” Burns said.

Am I wrong in thinking most of the company's earning are in US$?

Good to see the new CEO taking advantage of the price dip to pick up 40,000 shares.

[johnrxx99] 13/6/2021 08:31

The average EPS's of analysis are:- '21 - 22.83 '22 - 27.41 '23 - 31.10 Sharescope

[partridge1948] 12/6/2021 09:32

Focus last few years has been largely on eliminating duplicated and other costs within acquired businesses and outgoing CEO very comfortable and competent in this arena. After large acquisition of SDL, focus may well switch to growing the top line across all areas of the business and new CEO looks to have the right pedigree to achieve this. As a long term holder since soon after listing, I have been rewarded handsomely for trusting Andrew Brodes judgement and see no reason to change that view, but always dyor.

[toffeeman] 11/6/2021 16:31

If they generate eps of 24.1 for 2021 then a share price of 725 is conservative. Looks to me like it's good value here and even better value if it drops further.

[chasbas] 11/6/2021 16:13

Thanks brain....volume has been above average I guess but no market panic IMO Berenberg reiterates buy with a target price of 810p. Current price 575p...I wish I could buy more. I suspect market forecasts are too low but given the strong cashflow I think this is far more than just a PER stock. After all RWS has fantastic proprietary technology post SDL acquisition...GLA

Market has't taken the CEO leaving very well. Chasbas You can get forecasts for RWS on Investor Chronicle website.It's free ! EPS forecast for 2021 - 24.5p and 2022 - 27.5p.

[chasbas] 11/6/2021 14:31

I would be hugely grateful if anyone has any forecasts etc....H1 results to me were perfectly good, surely RWS is nicely geared to the strong recovery taking place in US and elsewhere. OK the weaker dollar is negative and the change in CEO was a surprise and the real merger benefits won't come through until the next financial year. But there is no change to the fundamental story. I won't be selling but the market reaction has surprised me. GLA

[buoycat] 11/6/2021 14:08

Looks like a typical post results sag driven by short term trading, presenting an excellent buying opportunity

Davy Research: "We have formally upgraded our forecasts for RWS...we believe the shares remain excellent value and we feel forecast risks remain on the upside".
