Blue-collar recruiter Staffline said on Monday that it had seen a booming first quarter as firms’ hiring gathers pace with the vaccine rollout.

In the three months to April, the agency said it saw underlying operating profit up 133% compared to the same period in 2020, as market conditions “improved̶1; and business confidence “heightened221;,

The company said it is "seeing increased activity from clients in some of those sectors most adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, such as manufacturing, retail and convenience foods”.

Chief executive, Albert Ellis, said: “We've yet to be fully released from the constraints of the Covid-19 restrictions but we have already seen positive signs of recovery as we exited the first quarter of 2021."

It comes after the Standard revealed a “war for talent” is underway across London as firms spanning financial services, legal, PR and construction launch hiring sprees to rebuild their top tiers after a year of pain.

Staffline, which in October revealed a three-year extension to its long-running contract to supply workers to Tesco, reported revenues of £928 million for the year to December 31, down from £1.06 billion in 2019. Underlying operating profits were up 66% on 2019 to £4.8 million.

The company also said that it expects to “benefit from the incremental increase in government spending on re-skilling” once the furlough scheme ends.

The furlough scheme is still supporting more than 5 million British jobs, and experts have warned of a tsunami of unemployment once it wraps up.

Ellis said the firm's restructure made “significant progress” in 2020 and that it is “now well-placed to capitalise on a number of exciting growth opportunities”.

He said: "I am extremely confident in our ability to build on the momentum from the start of the year."

It is in one of their standard formats. Doesn't add much in detail despite a lot if words.

[ny boy] 10/8/2021 08:28

From Simply Wall st.
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Staffline Group plc (LON:STAF) share price has soared 137% in the last year. Most would be very happy with that, especially in just one year! In more good news, the share price has risen 1.5% in thirty days. On the other hand, longer term shareholders have had a tougher run, with the stock falling 94% in three years.

See our latest analysis for Staffline Group

Staffline Group wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

In the last year Staffline Group saw its revenue shrink by 13%. We're a little surprised to see the share price pop 137% in the last year. This is a good example of how buyers can push up prices even before the fundamental metrics show much growth. It's quite likely the revenue fall was already priced in, anyway.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Staffline Group's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Dividends have been really beneficial for Staffline Group shareholders, and that cash payout contributed to why its TSR of 145%, over the last year, is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Staffline Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 145% over one year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 14% per year over five years. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance.

zingerburger - yes, the ATH was £15 5 years ago, but not for long.
However, there has been so much dilution that the figure is irrelevant...
IMO £1/share is a sane short term target, mearly 50% up from here
and not too difficult tp attain.

[qsmeily456] 09/8/2021 17:38

So the 50p placing that John the arrogant 💩 didn't take up 2 🤣💦💦 is 🚀

Expect to test resistance on the way to the 14th 🤣💦💦💦8166;

[rr4528] 09/8/2021 16:40

BULLISH. I could sell 70k at the end for 69.50!

[john09] 09/8/2021 12:09

Charts looking interesting . It’s been a while

[my retirement fund] 09/8/2021 10:50

68.5 on the offer now. Its worth noting we have only just levelled with the post placing levels when accounting for relevant dilution. Still very cheap by all accounts.

[john09] 09/8/2021 10:39

It’s the council trash from the other thread - I’m used to it . They are apparently holders. Not my problem

[walterhwhite] 09/8/2021 10:33

Thanks John. No idea why you are being voted down as this is good information!Stock supply is very low, orders such as 40k are taking a couple of hours to fill. GL

[my retirement fund] 09/8/2021 10:21

Managed to get 10K filled on the bell, happy with that given the buying pressure, at this rate we'll soon be back to 75p.

[maryhopkins] 09/8/2021 08:51

78p close....BUY!!!!!!

[john09] 09/8/2021 08:42
