AAC Clyde Space - Strong progress delivered in Q123

AAC Clyde Space (AAC) has reported very strong progression in Q123, in part due to booking deferred revenues from FY22. Nevertheless, given the strength of both sales and EBITDA development taken together with a significant increase in the order backlog, our expectations of a transitional year for the company appear to be on track. With several more self-owned space data as a service (SDaaS) satellites expected to be launched in FY23, the development of the high-margin revenue stream should accelerate as the year progresses, improving cash flow. We maintain our estimates for FY23 and FY24, with both our DCF value of SEK8.2/share and a single-digit FY24 P/E of just 6.4x suggesting significant potential for investors.

AAC Clyde Space - Gathering momentum for FY24 lift-off

AAC Clyde Space's (AAC’s) Q323 report was encouraging, although it benefited from a large element of licence income without which the underlying progress was disappointing. The reason for that was summer shutdowns at suppliers and customers with some key revenue recognition deferred. However, since the start of Q423 there has been a tremendous order inflow worth around SEK200m. Much of this will start in FY24, supporting the significant acceleration of revenues towards the SEK500m targeted. That should accompany improving profitability and cash flows and lead to a reversal of recent declines i...

China Healthcare: A brighter outlook in 2024.

Easing pressure from the anti-corruption campaign will result in stronger sales growth for medical products. Moreover, after years of persistent R&D efforts, many Chinese biopharmaceutical companies now expect a fruitful year of innovation in 2024. In addition, potential US interest rate cuts will also provide liquidity for R&D investment and support the development of biotech and CRO segments in 2024. We expect a brighter outlook in 2024. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

AAC Clyde Space - Strong trading progress in H123

AAC Clyde Space made strong progress in H123, with revenues up 65% and positive EBITDA. While the mix is not as expected due to delays to some programmes deferring the start of SDaaS revenues to H223, the recent rights issue enables the company to accelerate investment in its own SDaaS satellites for launch next year. As high-margin SDaaS revenues should accelerate from H223, we expect AAC to become increasingly profitable and cash generative.

Dentsu Group - FY24 prospects weighted to H2

Dentsu’s Q1 results indicate a slow start to the year, with organic net revenue down by 3.7%. However, prospects are improving, buoyed by new business wins and weighted to H2, which leave full year expectations (and our forecasts) unchanged. The One dentsu initiative, bringing together skill sets in consulting, technology, media and creative, is supporting improved pitch win rates, and giving greater coherence and consistency to the group product and service offering. We expect this to be a central element of the new management medium-term strategy, set to be unveiled during H2. The rating rem...

Record - AUME momentum and a sharper focus

Record’s Q424 trading update demonstrated continued growth in assets under management equivalent (AUME), which will support management fee growth into FY25. In FY24, AUME grew 17% to US$102.2bn, setting a new milestone in business scale. Net inflows for FY24 were US$6.8bn (FY23: US$9.1bn) or 8% of opening AUME. Performance fees of US$5.8m matched the record FY23 figure, and we expect this to offset the negative product mix in FY24. We have reduced our FY24e EPS by 1%, which is affected by £2.4bn in IT restructuring and impairment charges announced in March 2024. New CEO Dr Jan Witte is putting...
