Diversification continues to give resilience
Once again, Carr’s Group results demonstrate how diversification gives resilience to cyclicity in any one market. This time outperformance in UK Agriculture, supported by improving farmer confidence, offset weak demand in the US for feed blocks caused by a surplus of cattle following a period of restocking. This drove a 5% increase in pre-exceptional PBT to £8.9m. Our estimates already include downward revisions for prolonged weakness in US feed block demand and contract delays in UK manufacturing activity, so we leave both our estimates and indicative valuation of 158p/share unchanged.Carr's Group operates across the agriculture and engineering sectors which supplies products and services to countries around the world. Co.'s agriculture division includes an international feed block supplement business, and in the U.K., this division also sells animal feed, fertilizer, animal health products, fuel, farm machinery and rural supplies. Co.'s engineering division designs, manufactures and supplies precision parts, equipment, robotics and remote handling products. These products and services are supplied primarily into the nuclear, defense and oil and gas markets.
