Spire Healthcare Share Discussion Threads

Thanks, but looks as though some buying interest this morning which is great.

I think as they de-leverage to say around 1.5 and continue to improve EBITDA, this will begin to motor. As I have said, 8m on waiting list per BBC news last night, more & more people will go private DYOR

Spire Healthcare plc posted its HY Report for the 6 months ended 30th June 2023 this morning. Revenue was up 13.1% vs H1 22 to £676.5m, driven by continued strong demand, adjusted EBIT was up 24.2% vs H1 22 to £67.8m and adjusted EBITDA was up 11.4% vs H1 22 to £117.9m. Statutory profit after tax was up to £12.7m (H1 22: loss of £0.6m). Meanwhile the balance sheet improved, with net bank debt / EBITDA covenant ratio of 2.1x at 30 June 2023 (2.2x at the end of FY22.) Valuation still remains a headwind to the investment case with forward PE ratio at 25.3x and dividend yield a little feeble at 1.15%. The share price also lacks positive momentum and has been drifting sideways for 2 and half years. SPI remains a share to monitor for the time being...

Fairly decent but you like you say been range trading for a while. 20% return would do me

[qs99] 14/9/2023 10:16

Thanks. I was in Totally then recent crash, so waiting to find right opportunity there again, private healthcare should be a nice earner IMO! DYOR and GLA

Good point QS.
I would say many on here have used private health care like Spire …
It is first class.
Not cheap but certainly a first class service.

It would be great if there was a takeover bid. What do you think the real likelihood of that is ? The share price has been consistently low now for some time with no apparent outside interest.

[gswredland] 14/9/2023 09:46

Typical muted response!
I'll hope that I can get in around 210 again

[johndoe23] 14/9/2023 08:45

Don't expect this share to shoot the lights out,but still a muted reaction. Hoping yo awake one morning and see a recommended offer at 250-260!

[qs99] 14/9/2023 08:12

Decent update I agree. Companies like Spire surely IMO have to be in the perfect position to capitalise from the massive backlogs in the NHS, but also the rising cult like spending splashed on health, £180bn and rising.....let's see but in for the ride and glad I have found it.....DYOR and any others people can recommend? thanks QS99

[johndoe23] 14/9/2023 07:34

Missed that part! Should have been at top

[mboy010] 14/9/2023 07:30

Also highlights intention to reinstate dividend.

[johndoe23] 14/9/2023 07:26

Decent results at first glance. Looks like FY should be a beat against consensus for PBT and earnings

[qs99] 11/9/2023 11:15

Had a pre-emptive Totally investment that wasn't great, but think the health service should be a place where there are £s to be made. Trying to find others, pretty sure I have been in this ages back, see the results are out imminently, any views please ahead of them? DYOR and thanks QS99

[zam1] 10/9/2023 19:12

Yes hope so, still showing 0.9% shorts last update end of August.

[gswredland] 07/9/2023 15:53

Would have thought results would be ok as lots of use by NHS

[rolo7] 07/9/2023 15:08

Normal bottom of trading range

[zam1] 07/9/2023 12:27

Interim results due in 14th SeptemberMaybe going down because of results worries

[gswredland] 07/9/2023 12:16

Market jitters as you say John opportunity to go long coming up....

[johndoe23] 07/9/2023 12:00

Unbelievable back down here

[johndoe23] 22/8/2023 19:21

General market jitters I would say

[doobz] 21/8/2023 19:07

These fell off quite a but the last couple days, any ideas why?

[km1966] 06/8/2023 23:06

Spire in Edinburgh used to get £17.5k per half day for a Theatre from NHS. Sometimes theatre not fully utilised...

[rolo7] 06/8/2023 22:26

Problem is NHS price for work not spire price
