SOME interesting chatter at Scottish & Newcastle, the £4.6 billion brewer that reported a strong set of results last week. Since Tony Froggatt was drafted in as chief executive nearly three years ago, he has put the house in order, making sense of the portfolio and bringing in outside marketing muscle to focus on the customer. It has been a quiet revolution and one that is starting to reward investors.
However, S&N's big problem is still its high exposure to western markets, where beer drinking is in long-term decline. It may have a growing presence in Russia and is breaking into India, but the emerging-market exposure is eclipsed by France and Britain.
However, Froggatt and his team are to give a clear signal that they can still get growth out of mature markets through innovation and premium pricing. They are signing up to a new remuneration package that will reward improvements to the top line.
The incentive scheme is no longer based purely on achieving economic profit, which typically rewards cost cutting. Instead it will include an element of rewarding sales growth (net of duty). It is first being introduced at group level, but will soon be applied across all divisions.
You just have to look at the senior external appointments that Froggatt has made to know that he means to hit performance targets. They include Gary Guthrie, the former Kodak marketer who joined two years ago as group marketing director.
S&N may still be a bid target, but as the adjoining share-price chart shows, Froggatt is ensuring that any bidder will have to pay top dollar. The share price closed the week at 513p, just shy of a three-year high of 522p.

obviously u can't read then johnpaul1,all my shares are freebies but i can't touch and if a loser on here thinks i make no money trading then do a search through thread and you'd realise whilst this overpriced dog moves up and down a few % i told you about HWY 3 months ago @ 53 and now over 80p !! so much for losers.SCTN is a muppet co,all the market is booming and the dog limps along.
But as long as they keep paying us sick pay then we're happy employees ;-)))

BB

How much have you lost on this share then - i assume you are still short. only fair to tell all seeing as you boast about your profits elsewhere. why waste your time posting on here if you are making yearly wages in a few weeks. thought you'd be spending your time down the ferrari garage. come on tell us how much you are down.

[coogar] 22/2/2006 17:47

Some people on here make good money, others just make fools of themselves, eh BlobJob? LOL

[coogar] 21/2/2006 16:39

A solid set of results, in line with expectations. Coogar maintains his HOLD stance and 514p target.

[jacsom] 21/2/2006 11:12

BIGBOB: filtered.

js.

[pistolman999] 20/2/2006 14:11

Short opened at 514

[coogar] 17/2/2006 11:53

Stagecoach is overvalued ;)

On a serious note, anyone into SCTN over the longer term but getting a bit nervous may wish to take some profits just ahead of next week's results. I will probably continue holding and b.anking the d.ividends.

[keelstow] 16/2/2006 21:37

don't be too cruel coogar..everytime he posts price goes up so worth the comedy as well as the profits

hows stagecoach BTW

[coogar] 16/2/2006 20:21

bigbertie

Agreed. However, SABMiller are investing heavier in these markets than SCTN.

BOOBJOB

Your're permanently filtered by many on here, so go away you irritating little prat.

[bigbobjoylove] 16/2/2006 18:09

no,SCTN is a sitting dog run by greedy clueless management thats the difference.With the debt and the selling of leisure division it aint no t/o candidate.

[bigbertie] 16/2/2006 10:38

latest purchases were in China and India - hopefully those are emerging!
