Review: More optimistic economic outlook for 2015

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) provides selective exposure to Thai equities. The Aberdeen Asian equities team takes a long-term approach to stock selection with a strong emphasis on quality, aiming to deliver above-average capital growth. Performance has been strong in 2014 with returns closely matching the benchmark SET Index during the market rally. The recent re-rating may moderate near-term upside, but the potential for economic growth to accelerate over the next 12 months provides a supportive backdrop for corporate earnings growth. ANWâ€™s 1.8% dividend yield places it close to the top of the peer group.

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust - Repositioned and ready to bounce on recovery

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) is the only London-listed investment trust focused on investing in Thailand and the manager Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) believes the Thai equity market remains inefficient.

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust - Positive prospects for long-term investors

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) is the only London-listed investment trust focused on investing in Thailand, a country that also gives investors indirect exposure to the harder-to-access, but higher-growth economies of its neighbours Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV). ANW was not well positioned for the unforeseen pandemic and subsequent market rout, and performance has disappointed. However, the manager believes the Thai equity market to be inefficient, and says the sell-off is presenting exciting opportunities to invest in quality companies that are mispriced versus their l...

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.

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.

Management raised its FY26 operating profit target, partly to reflect the inclusion of Altron Document Solutions (ADS) in continuing operations. We...
