Cohort - Progressing to plan

The relative de-rating of Cohort against its peers since its interim results in December seems somewhat anomalous. The company looks set to maintain solid progress in FY18, which is now coming to a close. Peers in the UK defence sector have continued to face issues that do not directly read across to Cohort. While the UK defence funding environment remains uncertain at present, there appear to be some indications that a more favourable perspective may be developing following recent events. We maintain our forecasts and our fair value currently stands at 508p.
