Posted at 12/4/2025 12:43 by cjohnalt Good. We agree then that takeovers are not uncommon in declining sectors.Unfortunately, you've failed to understand the rationale for takeovers: economic actors calculate the value of their target and pay accordingly, if there's an edge. Given that SNWS is trading at around a PE of 5 and a very low PFCF, there is manifest motivation and margin for a takeover. Moreover, anyone with any capacity for company analysis can understand that SNWS is highly likely to sustain high cash flow for several years at least. In absolute terms, no company has a high probability of being taken over, so for me, personally, it's not a consideration. The fact that the then very different SNWS was in trouble a few years ago is irrelevant to their current position. That's a really weak suggestion. It's known as restructuring. It does happen you know. |
Posted at 11/4/2025 13:03 by stevensupertrader Consolidation with another similar declining Company is likely however the valuation of SNWS would not be at the current share price price , much lower .Unless , SNWS is buying or taking over some other Co. to boost Revenue . SNWS has tried it before in the past and failed miserably and SNWS almost went under . The CEO won’t even dare to talk or think going this route again 😃 |
Posted at 02/4/2025 13:09 by stevensupertrader SP would go up only with Revenue growth , The rest (ie raising dividends or reducing debt or cutting cost) is just buying some time .Until SNWS can find a solution to increase Revenue substantially share price will be in limbo and keep on moving lower , imo |
Posted at 28/3/2025 12:19 by davebowler Investor Mag....Swindon-based newspaper and magazines distributor Smiths News (LON: SNWS) is trading in line with expectations this year. There are currently 91% of expected newspaper and magazine revenues are secured via long-term contracts that last until at least 2029. There is a steady decline in this area, but the contracts provide good visibility. This business can generate cash while management builds up other operations. There are plans to offer ambient early morning deliveries, plus potential for other ways to utilise the company’s warehouse and distribution capacity and expertise. The share price slipped 1.49% to 52.8p. Interim results will be published on 7 May. Full year revenues are expected to decline from £1.1bn to £1.03bn, while pre-tax profit could be maintained at around £33.4m. Net debt could reduce from £11m to £8m and the dividend should be held at 5.2p/share. There should be net cash by 2026. The shares are trading on just over five times prospective earnings, and the forecast yield is 9.9%. |
Posted at 28/3/2025 09:06 by davebowler Canaccord Genuity view Smiths News has announced an H1'25 trading update covering the 26 weeks to 1 March showing that the Group has delivered a solid first half performance and trading for the year ending 30 August 2025 remains in line with market expectations. The Group has reiterated that it has officially secured long-term contracts covering 91% of its newspaper and magazine revenues through to at least 2029, providing a solid foundation to support its medium-term growth ambitions. As a reminder, the long-term nature of contracts, along with the dedicated service territories, provide high levels of visibility in terms of revenues and cash flows, as well as allowing the Group to plan its cost management initiatives and capital allocation strategy clearly. In line with the Group's strategy, management continues to maximise and leverage the Group’s leading early-morning, end-to-end supply chain market capabilities, in order to further enlarge the Group’s operational footprint. An update on progress is expected at the half-year results due 7 May. As a reminder, back in November, management outlined the addressable market for ambient early morning delivery is worth c.£1.3bn, with a c. £160m profit opportunity for SNWS to target over the medium term. Achieving 5-10% share, utilising its existing infrastructure and assets, could present an incremental profit opportunity of £8-16m over the medium term, compared to the £2.0m achieved from new growth initiatives in FY24. Impact on forecasts Today’s update shows the Group has delivered a solid first half performance with trading remaining in line with market expectations (FY25E consensus adj. operating profit of £37.2m & adj. PBT of £33.3m). We therefore leave forecasts unchanged. As a reminder, we forecast FY25E adj. operating profit of £37.4m (-4% yoy) and adj. PBT of £33.4m (+1% yoy). Valuation and recommendation The current valuation is highly attractive, in our view, with an Aug'25E PER of 5.4x, a dividend yielding 9.7% and a FCF yield of 16.3%. SNWS has a number of key attributes, including a market-leading position with a diversified customer base and strong supplier relationships with long-run contracts in place. New initiatives present a growth opportunity alongside ongoing cost reduction, and strong FCF generation supports dividend payments, continued business investment and the scope for additional shareholder returns. |
Posted at 18/3/2025 08:54 by norbert colon From ONWD results today:"The Onward share price and NAV performance compare well to these figures and demonstrate that there is value on offer, albeit there is a need for selective stock picking; identifying the gems in what remain unloved markets. Perhaps the most entertaining example from our portfolio is that Smiths News, a supposedly 'dying business' (as it delivers newspapers to newsagents amongst other things), generated a total shareholder return of +37.6%, outperforming all of the above markets." |
Posted at 05/3/2025 14:41 by stevensupertrader 4th Day in a row share price fell . At the opening , share price tried to move up but after a couple of hours , It started to encounter resistance although volume was not great but hardly any buyer taking advantage of this beaten price even yield are current over 9% not taking into account the Special dividend.Investors not keen to get in either lose confidence or afraid share price might go further down . Shorters took the opportunity to bash share price down with low column. 😞 |
Posted at 02/10/2024 17:44 by marktime1231 Aha!A 53 week year cf a 52 week year accounts for up to 1.9% of the 1.1% "growth". No growth then, maybe as much as a 0.8% or £8-9M revenue decline on a level comparison basis. That confirms my previous conclusion, SNWS has to work jolly hard to find ancillary revenues and specials to offset the underlying business contraction, rowing against a strong ebb tide which is not covered by price increases. SNWS is still losing the topline battle, but appears to have won the bottom line challenges through cost control and debt reduction. How much it thinks it can sustainably distribute to shareholders is hard to say, but announcing a 3.5p final on 5 Nov would not surprise me and it would light up the share price Trying to decide whether to risk taking a chunk in my SIPP for the short-medium term income prospect, or a trade betting that the share price will appreciate strongly in the run to ex-div next January. Hmmmm. One to sleep on. |
Posted at 26/6/2023 16:50 by stevensupertrader Does not inspire confidence , the half year result was excellent .SNWS SHARE PRICE 2 weeks ago before ex div was 55p and today 44p at closed. 20% down - something notRIGHT . |
