23/4/2013 16:25	broadwood: Following a sharp fall in the share price of instrumentation and controls company Spectris on Friday after its first-quarter trading update, Investec has upgraded the stock from 'hold' to 'buy'. The stock slumped by over 15% from 2,225p on Thursday's close (before the statement) to just 1,880p by Monday's close after the firm reported a decline in sales on Friday due to a deferral of orders and shipment delays. Analyst Michael Blogg said: "Spectris rarely scares investors and, arguably, the reaction to Friday's update has been excessive. The 9.0% revenue decline in Q1 arose from a combination of challenging comparisons with strong trading a year earlier, delivery phasing that was either pre-arranged or caused by slippage into Q2, and a disappointing tendency among customers to conserve cash." Nevertheless, he said: "Spectris does not quantify or guide on quarterly revenues, only the H1:H2 bias, and we sense that it was less surprised at a year-on-year decline in Q1 than we were and more confident of a bounce in Q2, with its knowledge of the contributory elements." Investec has cut its annual earnings forecasts by a precautionary 5.0% on 2.2% lower revenues. The target price has come down to 2,330p, from 2,575p previously due to reduced earnings estimates and the de-rating of peers. The stock rebounded strongly on Tuesday, trading 6.86% higher at 2,009p before the close of trade. BC Read Full Thread Follow Reply

13/2/2004 12:50	campbed: Certainly surprises me to see SXS at 500p so far in advance of results and outperforming Halma, Kidde, Renishaw, and other electronic control 250 stocks. Recent broker forecasts look to slightly reduce consensus for 2003 EBTAEx to £48.5m though adj EPS is up slightly to 30.5p on company's indication of lower tax charge. That's still a trailing PER of 16.4 at 500p with only around 10% growth for 2004. Also they've increased goodwill on 2003 on PANanalytical acquistion completed in Sept 02 (see post 51 above) but doubt that will get any mention in the prelims and we will have to await R&A to read about that. SXS share price does seem to have a history of overshooting on upside as with many Caz brokered stocks and so, particularly in this market that is currently wanting to hear good news on anything techie, I'm continuing to sit on the sidelines for the moment awaiting the results.

11/9/2003 17:08	campbed: I seem to be the only one trying to make sense of SXS's results. I'll give my views this time but unless there is some worthwhile feedback from others then I will not bother again in future. Aixam's spam above also turns me off posting. I shorted Tuesday first thing upon seeing the interims. I have a target of 400p on unchanged market sentiment with a guaranteed stop loss at 510p to offer protection against a bid. The number that leapt out at me from the interims was the free cash flow (FCF). At only £2.2.m this was even less than the £2.9m in H1 last year despite having PANanalytical this H1 (bought for £96.1m last September). Spending against other provision/liabilities was £2.1m this H1 against £6.8m last H1 and adding this spending back gives comparables of £4.3m against £9.7m last H1. SXS look again to have been playing the acquisition accounting game. Goodwill in the balance sheet has increased by £8.8m when there were no acquistions in H1 (from £213.6m at 31 Dec to £222.4m) despite a goodwill amortisation charge of £6.2m in H1. Hence additional goodwill of some £15m has been created presumably on the PANanalytical acquisition made last September for £96.1m. In the Dec 2002 accounts SXS had assigned only £14.1m to fair value of the tangible net assets acquired (including £3.1m of cash) and so created £82m goodwill. If the £15m additional goodwill created does relate just to PANanalytical then SXS will have paid £93m net of cash acquired for no tangible net assets. The concern of course is that the new debit to goodwill would otherwise have been accounted for as losses. With about 123.7m shares, SXS's mkt cap at 490p is £606m. Net debt increased £14m to £191.5m at June. Hence enterprise value (EV) of about £800m. To the FCF of £2.2m add back £2.1m of "exceptional spending" and net interest paid of £5.2m to get A(djusted) FCF of £9.5m. Hence SXS cash generation earned 9.5/800 = 1.2% in H1 or about 2.5% annualised after tax. I just can't see SXS generating AFCF of £80m per year in the near future to justify an EV of £800m. A fairer price in today's market IMO is around 330p to give an EV of about £600m. This gives an EBITA/EV of about 10% based on forecasted EBTA (PBT) of £50m and £10m interest. SXS's share price has had a good run to almost 500p, having roughly doubled from the 230p low last October and in my view has simply overshot. However SXS is well supported by institutions and its retail following is insignificant. For long holders, other shares offer much better value IMO. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
12/6/2003 10:39	campbed: mattharop – I think you're wise to abandon your short on SXS for the time being dolphinspirit- SXS' share price could in my view easily go to £4.50 if markets continue to look for recovery and warm noises keep emanating from management as I’m told they did at last week's institutional meeting. £5 would be pushing it but, as we saw in the last few days with M&B, Cazenove can often be particularly effective at gaining “recognition” for the price of their clients' shares. ldrcvem - glad your T+20 sell (or whatever) on Marconi worked. As to Regus, there is not a normal market in its shares at the moment because Indigo has gone long on CFD's through Cantor on most of the free float. GNI has a disclosable holding. They are squeezing the bears. This is not a market for “country”; members who are not in the know. Hence I have no position while the inside bulls & bears tussle. Jeffian on the Advfn bb is right IMO that Regus' shares on fundamental analysis is worth very little. As to why Indigo is doing this is a matter for conjecture but, as Maxwell showed, if a company is fundamentally bust then the value of its shares can only be supported for so long before the inevitable happens. LMC just appears to be a fashion frenzy and/or hopes of a US acquirer -- it was up another 12.5p today to 162.5p and up another 7p today in a sea of blue following New York. As to Spectris (SXS), although it is a FTSE 250 share it does not have much retail following. Hence no attendees at the recent AGM of SXS; though the company secretary does not seem to be disappointed by this. It makes me think about buying a token share in certificated form just to attend next year’s AGM to give them a surprise. I think company secretaries/directors/pr/brokers should monitor Advfn BB's for retail feedback and believe that happens more often than you'd expect. However they cannot say much, if anything. It was therefore good to see Roger Stephens, SXS company secretary, break cover at post #19 and wittily pull me up for being allegorical. However I note that JeremyL who posted as an employee of a trading company within the Spectris group on the last thread has not been heard from recently and has presumably been told not to post by the good Mr Stephens. Go on JeremyL prove me wrong!! In summary, there are currently shares other than SXS on which with more assurance one can go either long or short: hence I’ve no position.
