Avon Rubber - More M50s

Avon Rubber has announced another M50 order in the final year of the 10-year sole-source contract with the US Department of Defense (DoD). This order underpins FY18 and FY19 expectations and we make no changes to our forecasts. However, Avon is in advanced negotiations with the US DoD on future programmes, which fit comfortably with its growth strategy.

Avon Technologies (AVON LN) - Trading well, fresh catalyst required - HOLD

We update our forecasts and valuation for strong full year results last week, and a generally positive outlook. Playing a bit of catch-up, we lift FY26-27E revenue on average by 3.2% and adjusted operating profit by 23.5%. We estimate that cash conversion will continue to improve, and with lower restructuring costs and capex we expect the bank leverage ratio to remain well within the guided range of 1-2x. The orderbook and new product pipeline are healthy; and margin improvement should continue. Hence over the next few years we forecast c. 25% growth in revenue, and c. 50% improvement in opera...

Avon Technologies (AVON LN) - Strong delivery but priced-in - HOLD

Avon will hit its operating margin target of 14-16% in FY26E, a year early. We lift our FY26-27E revenue forecasts, on average, by 1.3% but operating profit rises by 13.5%; hence a key driver is the drop-through of the savings from the Kaisen continuous improvement programmes and the remodelling of the US manufacturing footprint. Our target price is lifted to 1,650p from 1,500p. We believe the investment case is finely balanced. The Sell case is that Avon’s valuation is full (CY25E PE 25.9x), and there are risks around tariffs and production ramp-up at the Cleveland factory. Perhaps many of th...

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
