Update: North American acquisition

Acal reports that trading in the four months to 31 January 2016 has continued in a similar vein to H116, with a strong performance from the Design & Manufacturing (D&M) business partly offset by continued weakness in UK Custom Distribution. The company has made its first direct acquisition in North America for £2m, expanding its magnetics capability and providing scope for further cross-selling. With management expectations for FY16 earnings unchanged, we maintain our forecasts.
