Update: Grosvenor leads the way

Rank’s 10-month IMS showed a solid performance in its venues and strong growth in Grosvenor digital, an important growth driver for the group. News of softer trading in Mecca digital since the recent platform migration is slightly disappointing, but it is early days and Rank has good organic growth prospects as it moves towards a true multi-channel offering, potentially augmented by acquisitions if the right opportunities arise. Our profit estimates are unchanged and the balance sheet is very strong. The 2016e EV/EBITDA of only 7.3x looks too low.
