Positive signals of progress

Following the latest quarterly review, Coats Group is to enter the FTSE 250 Index with effect from 19 June. As well as signifying a strong share price performance over the last year, this concludes the company’s transition phase to a strong independent entity in our view. Valuation metrics are on a more conventional footing now and as the market’s understanding of the underlying business model increases we sense that it is starting to anticipate faster growth rates.
