Posted at 04/12/2024 23:05 by fenners66 Seems the market did not buy the numbers either.As I said earlier though the dividend yield is respectable. As for the no mark who came on this board a few years ago claiming to be in the car rental business and saying that Zigup were sat on a £billion profit on vehicle stocks that they were not declaring ....well takes all sorts even the completely ignorant |
Posted at 04/12/2024 17:19 by rmillaree Over the last 5 years or so it’s only achieved a peak average rating of 14x and that was during the covid / post covid boom for them. Don’t see it hitting double figures in the medium term given declining forecasts.i dont disagree as per last post - it may need us to get into next year with regard to upswring for headwinds to subside. there are genuine reasons why profits are lower though - so that masks teh factv they are still doing deals increasing fleet size and running buisness in competent fashion. Yes they cant dictae how busy claims is and ref bumper disposal profits that was always an abonormal situation. Personally i would say 12 * is currently fair price from my point of view as i understand why profits are lower - i am well aware this share hasnt commanded premium price and may bumble along on 8 * earnings until the numbers look better at face value. I am happy taking the divi. "IMO their debt is too high for me at nearly 5 times their forecast PBT (I prefer less than 3x) It might be for you but it aint for me - nearly 50% os their fleet value is paid for - so they have unlimited available resources if they need - they could sell off fleet and pay down debt in a heartbeat. If debt was rising as a % of the fleet value that would be an issue but it aint it dropped despite them increasing fleet value by £200 mill in 12 months. they may have been canny with working capital. If you take £20k van they are paying £400 pa on that on finance costs - so that works out at £33 per month - they will probably make that back in 1-3 days depending on the kind of deal they have. So not sure how anyone can say that the debt is an issue - to me its clearly not at these levels. Can’t keep throwing cash at fleet when profits and earnings have been falling for the past 2 years. well the reasons for falling profits are two fold - they had bumper used value prices that was never going to last - so you are looking at period where profits were hugely inflated by supply constraints. They also changed depreciatiin policy in 2023 so that that flattered 2023 and 2024 numbers by £50 million at the expense of 2025 and 2026 numbers - not sure they wanted to go down that route but they had to due the fact their vehicles were worth more. Look back pre covid and resultys were never as good as they are expecving to do this year and next - note we are talking about £100 mill profit here plus both years - to me with excellent cover on fleet thats the only real number that matters to me as its real and dropping through to bottom line increasing net asset value. Note if they are signing new deals withn commercial customers thats upfront investment and you need to have the fleet ready to go - so it kinds makes sense that theer is a lag before the profits flow in. Hey ho thats just my take everyone else can be doom and gloom if they want to - being frank i see this stock as being pretty defensive. Perhaps other are right that they are having to work harder to make soem profit - its kinda tough for many business - i like the fact they have pre warned ref reductions and then hit what they promised - even with everything the current powers that be throw at them in the budget. |
Posted at 04/12/2024 14:41 by alotto Agree with all the above, unfortunately there is a risk of downside as we are looking at one (first) underwhelming HY, and more weakness may be around the corner.Looking at the wider picture, I give credits to the company as it has done pretty well in recent years, it has real plan to expand its fleet (the bottleneck in vehicle supply is easing and Zigup has the cash to commit to purchasing vehicles). I would't write off Zigup (as yet) based on this HY update. The share buy back makes sense if the plan is to consistently pay a dividend that exceeds the interest on debt. Regarding the buyback to embellish the EPS... it is an old trick and nobody would fall for it (as it was demonstrated today). Why would a CFO/CEO go down that route (apart from justifying internally a fat bonus)? Disco, you sensibly predict a PE<10 for the near term. This is testament of the dire state of the LSE where an asset can be valued as little as 10 multiples when a 7% dividend is paid. I am afraid it will take long (if ever) before London becomes a magnet for investors again. |
Posted at 04/12/2024 10:11 by martinmc123 3*Zigup, the leading integrated mobility solutions platform providing services across the vehicle lifecycle, posted HY results ended 31 October 2024 this morning. Underlying revenue was strong, up 5.6% with growth in both Vehicle hire (+4.7%) and Claims and Services (+6.3%) but total revenue decreased by 0.8% due to lower vehicle sales revenue. However, profits dropped with underlying PBT down to £82.0m from H1 2024: £99.1m mainly due to lower disposal and Claims and Services profits. Reported PBT fell even further to £56.2m from H1 2024: £97.4m ... ...from WealthOracle wealthoracle.co.uk/d |
Posted at 04/12/2024 09:47 by fenners66 This is one of those examples of "adjusted figures " trying to show that the previous years results were benefitting from an exceptional uplift on sales of cars and a return to normality.I can't remember - will look it up later , but surely it was - if they adjusted out the good news previously. However their adjusted figures do not match up to the previous year's so the disappointment. What that market reaction does tell us - the buyback has no long lasting effect if the business is not growing. Sure EPS and to an extent DPS have benefitted from fewer shares - but the market is judging the business performance and actual profits - NOT the metric per share. Overall the numbers are ok - prospective yield is likely in excess of 7.5% at this price and this adds a source of dividend diversity from the usual pensions/investments I just hope they stop splashing money on their own shares and invest in growing the business or reducing the debt - so they actually increase profit , not some metric. |
