Expected slowdown due to macroeconomic issues kind of expected but still impressive enough results and the cash pile is fantastic .

Lagging line reaching the top of the 'daily cloud', & we're surely well oversold now? Must be overdue to recover.

Sthree plc issued a FY22 trading update this morning reporting record performance for the year with double-digit growth across all regions. Group net fees for the full year were up 19% YoY to £430.6m, all regions posted double-digit growth. Sectoral and divisional performance was broad-based strong. The balance sheet remains solid with net cash at £65m. CEO Timo Lehne did note that “Towards the end of the year we started to see a softer trading environment, reflecting the uncertain macro-economic conditions.” Valuation is relatively attractive with forward PE ratio at 10.3x, share price has also generated some near term positive momentum with a Q4 rally. With growth slowing through H2 2022 and recession likely next year, macro risks are the main cloud to the investment case. STEM is well worth monitoring for the medium term, but it may be a little too soon to buy...

I would argue that a slowdown is already more than priced in (in normal conditions would expect this to trade over 600p). Therefore looks very good value on long term view, although will probably be a bit weak in the short term, at least until there are signs that trading is picking up again.

[gswredland] 14/12/2022 09:23

Interesting you mention that riverman. Looking to get in here but that put me off
A retrace to 350?

[riverman77] 14/12/2022 09:05

Everything looked incredibly positive until the bit tucked away at the end about trading softening in recent months - probably explains the drop this morning.

Strong trading update today

I heard the phrase that there is an "under-employment" problem rather than unemployment. Firms are struggling to hire what they need. If this is the case then a good quality recruitment firm should do well assuming they are networked into the best individuals in the market, at a time of high demand and growing wages/contract prices. However, if they are just CV chasers, then there is no barrier to entry. Hopefully market releases in September will show they are in the right place.

Also a sharp drop in RWA - looks like a sector thing, but can't see anything obvious.

[chopp1] 26/7/2022 14:42

Anyone know why the share price has dropped nearly 8% today? Is someone shorting the stock? A most peculiar movement after the results yesterday.

[tomps2] 26/7/2022 08:30

Sthree H1 22 results presentation given yesterday.

Superb results:
Net fees +25% £203.1m
Op profit +62% £44.6m
Contract order book +35% on May 21 at £181.8m

They are in a sweet spot providing STEM talent, which is in short supply, and providing contract labour which fulfills a move to an Employed Contractor Model (ECM).
H2 will see heavy investment, FY 23 investment all falls in this period.

They are laser focussed on finding the best returns for the business.
A new CEO and CFO. The CEO was responsible for the huge success in the DACH region.
