Update: Core growth back in focus

Carclo's H1 results showed the underlying strength of its core business and the analyst presentation was confident in tone. The loss of the VW Phaeton programme is a frustrating bump on the road, but LED Technologies remains firmly on track with strong revenue growth and the significant win of a new manufacturer. Technical Plastics is performing well, with the new Chinese facilities due to start manufacturing in January 2016. These are quality businesses with strong long-term stories, but Carclo’s earnings multiples relative to established small-cap growth stories with similar dynamics have yet to fully reflect this.
