Norbert if you capitalise one or more of the letters in https it gets around the ADVFN spam filter and makes the link clickable.



"Midas verdict: Wincanton has been through ups and downs, and the share price has see-sawed, falling from £4.50 to £2.90 in the past two years alone. Today, however, Wincanton is generating cash and winning businesses. Prospects are bright and the shares are cheap. Buy."

Interesting little share buyback - but interim dividend held. 4.8% is not a particularly strong yield in the current market, so I did think they might ratchet that up that a bit rather than go for the buyback at £10m. Generally good noises though about the business; the loss of the HMRC contract - and also a couple of others which were not mentioned - does not seem to have caused them to downgrade expectations, they also announced winning of some new business which presumably makes up for losing lucozade et al, and of course there is that good news on the pension triennial front.

Analysts from Peel Hunt see logistics group Wincanton (WIN) kicking growth up a gear after its triennial pension review.

Analyst Alexander Paterson reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 300p on the Citywire Elite Companies + rated stock, which was trading at 236p on Tuesday.

The review of the pension started in April and is set to conclude imminently. The deficit has declined from more than £200m to just £11.9m at the end of March and ‘we expect it to have declined further given a £5.7m contribution at the end of June and higher bond yields’, said Paterson.

The group is also ‘exiting low or no return closed-book transport and transitioning to lower-risk open book contracts and areas of higher value’, which would provide capital to invest.

‘We see significant growth potential and commercial benefit from investing this capital where it can exceed the risk-adjusted returns from a share buyback, which would drive a rerating of the stock on higher profitability,’; said Paterson.

"Wincanton rallies but Liberum sees slow recovery
The short-term outlook for logistics group Wincanton (WIN) is challenging and the pace of recovery may now be slower, says Liberum.

Analyst Gerald Khoo retained his ‘buy’ recommendation but dropped his share price target from 400p to 390p as the stock leaped over 7%, or 16p, to 233p on Monday. They have fallen 31% this year.

Pre-tax profit fell 30.3% to £38.2m in the year to the end of March due to one-off contract costs but also some corporate customers reducing their contracts to make savings as consumers cut their spending.

However, underlying profits rose 6% to a record £62m in line with Khoo’s forecasts.

‘The short-term outlook is challenging,’ he said. ‘The group has exited its closed book transport activities, citing poor profitability and a structurally unattractive risk-reward balance.’

Khoo added: ‘We leave our 2024 estimated forecasts unchanged but cut 2025 on a more prudent view on the pace of recovery.’

The analyst said that lower pension scheme contributions after the next scheme valuation ‘remain a key catalyst, with news likely within the next six months.’"

Despite the headline the article is generally positive about the future the following are some snippets but the whole article can be accessed from the link above.

"Wincanton profits tumble 30% after one-off costs and some of the logistics firm's clients insourcing to cut costs"

"Despite the statutory loss, Wincanton rewarded investors with a 10 per cent hike to dividend, or a full-year payout of 13.2p per share."

Analysts at Peel Hunt said the results were slightly ahead of their forecasts and represented an 'excellent' year for the group.

'This was a challenging year, with lower customer volumes impacting 2H and inflationary pressures,' they said.

'However, these were successfully managed with major customer wins across the group’s four sectors as well as strategic investments in robotics and automation.'"

Wincanton blown off course for short term, says Liberum

The loss of a large contract at logistics firm Wincanton (WIN) as well as other headwinds are weighing in the near term, but Liberum says the medium-term outlook remains positive.

Analyst Gerald Khoo retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and reduced the target price from 500p to 400p on the stock, which slumped 25.8%, or 78.7p, to 226.9p on Tuesday.

Although this year’s trading remains in line, Khoo said, ‘the loss of a large and above-average margin contract with HMRC, and growing volume headwinds on closed book contracts, means management expects March 2024 estimated earnings to be materially below current consensus’.

‘We cut our 2024 estimated earnings per share forecast by 20%, with a 9% cut to 2025,’ said Khoo.

‘The short-term pressure on earnings is clearly disappointing but the medium-term outlook remains positive.’

Fair play Guys and good luck elsewhere. I've got a target price of at least £6 - £8. But whats worth noting as well is that Clipper had a Pre Tax of about a third of Wins and Clipper was bought out for £850M. Clipper was growing at a faster rate but....did it deserve that valuation?
If Win was bought out on the same multiple it would be valued at over 2.3B with a share price of nearly £20.
So I'm happy to take a Med/Long term view. Then again Ive been here from 40p so whats another 8 years? Now that is a long term view.

https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/02/17/a-cheap-dividend-growth-stock-id-invest-500-in-today/A cheap dividend growth stock I'd invest £500 in today!Royston Wild | Thursday, 17th February, 2022 | More on: WINShopping cart with boxes labelled REITs, ETFs, Bonds, Stocks Image source: Getty Images.I'm searching for the best cheap stocks to buy for my shares portfolio in 2022. There are many top low-cost British stocks for me to choose from but this one has really caught my eye. I think it could deliver striking profits and dividend growth over the medium-to-long term.Earnings are tipped to soarCommercial transport business Wincanton faces some significant headwinds in the near term as fuel costs rise. Petrol and diesel prices in the UK have just hit record highs and they could keep soaring too as oil supply shortages could persist for some time.As a long-term investor I'm still thinking of buying Wincanton today however. City analysts believe the business should grow earnings 18% in this fiscal year (to March) and by mid-to-high single digits in the following two years too. These predictions reflect expectations of rising demand for logistics services as the economy bounces back and the continued support led by e-commerce growth.A cheap stock for the e-commerce boomIn fact, it's my opinion that the threat posed by increasing fuel costs are baked into Wincanton's low share price. At 385p per share, the transport titan trades on a forward P/E ratio of just 9.4 times.I'm actually encouraged by the small-cap's ability to thrive despite the sharp rise in fuel prices that dates back to last summer. Indeed, Wincanton actually raised its full-year profit forecasts last month, thanks to strong trading across all of its divisions.I'm particularly impressed by Wincanton's ability to exploit the online shopping boom. And I think this could be the catalyst for strong long-term sales growth. Revenues at its Digital and eFulfilment division leapt 51% in the three months to December, latest financials showed.Wincanton bought supply chain business Cygnia last autumn for £23.9m to boost its exposure to the e-commerce revolution. But even without the contribution of the new unit, group sales still soared in the third quarter (rising 22% year-on-year).Rapid dividend growthWincanton's not just a great buy from a growth perspective, however. I'm also thinking of buying the logistics business because of the bright outlook for its dividends. City forecasters think last year's total payout will rise 16% to 12.03p per share in the current period. This creates a handy 3% dividend yield.Dividends are tipped to continue rising strongly in the medium term as well. Full-year dividends of 13.57p and 14.3p per share are predicted for financial 2023 and 2024 respectively. Consequently, the yield rises to 3.4% and 3.6% for these years.Finally, I also like Wincanton as an income share because current dividend projections seem pretty secure, based on expected profits. Those dividends the City anticipates are covered around 3 times by anticipated earnings. This figure is well above the widely-regarded security benchmark of 2 times.I believe Wincanton offers brilliant growth and income potential right now. And at current prices I think it could be too cheap for me to miss.
