Edison Investment Research

Update: Increasing confidence

H1 PBT was modestly ahead of the previous year and slightly ahead of our estimate. Behind this, strong UK/Ireland performance was substantially offset by a short-term setback in North America, which appears to be resolved now. Underlying momentum should become more apparent at the headline level in FY15, although we have increased estimates in all three forecast years. Even after a post-results share price bounce, British Polythene Industries (BPI) is still trading on attractive value multiples.

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

The S&P 500 is beginning to come off of short-term overbought extremes, consolidating near the confluence of key overhead resistance and the 200-day moving average. This level is roughly 2,817 on the S&P 500 and roughly 1,000 on the S&P 600 Small Cap index. Some consolidation or a mild pullback is possible in the near-term, which we believe would help alleviate current overbought readings and allow for a more orderly and meaningful move higher. This constructive outlook is supported by the themes highlighted below: â€¢ Internals are healthy. The S&P 500 advance/decline line is advancing to ne...

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.
