Altron - Keeping Altron Document Solutions

Altron’s AGM trading update confirmed that the positive momentum seen in H224 has continued so far in H125. The company also announced that it had decided to stop the sale process for Altron Document Solutions (ADS) and bring the business back into continuing operations within the IT Services segment. We maintain our forecasts pending further clarity on ADS financials, noting that the business returned to profitability in H224 and is self-funding.

Altron - Further margin expansion in H125

Altron reported a 105% y-o-y increase in operating profit before capital items in H125, with margin expansion of 5.1pp to 9.8%. The Platforms businesses were particularly strong, with Netstar and FinTech achieving material revenue and profit growth.

Altron - Strong earnings growth in H125

Altron has provided an H125 trading update pointing to a more than doubling of headline EPS from continuing operations and an even larger increase in reported EPS. Having restated comparatives to reflect the move of Altron Document Solutions back to continuing operations, the improving performance of the remaining discontinued operation has become clearer, showing significantly reduced losses year-on-year. We maintain our forecasts pending the H125 results on 4 November.

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.
