from that same report:
"The challenging economic conditions, impacting new business activity, are expected to persist throughout FY25."
It would almost be better if they didn't issue so many updates - as each one sends the share price down another notch! There was one on 19 March last year.
Up on share buyback today. |
Final results out:
Profits down, as flagged previously and seen with industry comparators, but in line with expectations. Final dividend cut to 9.2p per share, with overall dividend being 14.3p per share (or yield of c5.2%), still within the 2.5-3x dividend cover target area.
FY25 outlook remains "challenging"..... |

People who have commented on unexpected mess etc - can you provide more detail in terms of your analysis?
Market Cap of £564M , Net Cash of £83M, Trading inline with expectations (Current consensus PBT expectation is GBP71.3m for FY23).
Feel like recruiters will always be trading on low P/Es due to risk / nature of the business.
Feel like the current shareprice, when considering adding £20M in cash for the FY, generating healthy profit with a good geographic mix and can respond to changing demands of the market (Perm VS temp), Yielding close to 4% is fine to continue to be a holder in. |
Haven't looked in detail yet or compared to previous trading updates, but given the share price is actually fractionally up, it seems to be what the market was expecting. |
Results are as expected so expect little change to the SP |
Oh dearCondolences to S/hldrs |
Well this is an unexpected mess. Ffs |
FWIW, Ennismore highlight Sthree with their long thesis in their newsletter this month: |
Kirkie,
I do agree with you up to a certain point.i don't see STEM as being too concentrated in one client, geographical location or sector. I like their broad offering which should neglect the fact to a certain point about stickabiliy, client relationship etc |

The "risky" bit is you're buying the stickability of their people and their client relationships as much as you're buying the trends in the underlying economy...
... one might argue that's why it "looks" cheap.... - certainly part of my argument for being here... |
£83M Net Cash in a £500M Market Cap that is forecasted to generate £71M PBT this year.
Looks cheap to me but recruiters always do! |
