discoverIE Group - Sustained uptick in orders drives upgrades

Acal's H118 trading update confirms that strong demand continued into Q218. Both divisions saw a positive trading environment in H1 resulting in group organic revenue growth of 9% y-o-y and group reported revenue growth of 21%. We have raised our revenue forecasts for FY18 and FY19 to reflect stronger trading, which results in upgrades to our normalised EPS forecasts of 3.8% in FY18 and 3.7% in FY19. In our view, the sustained improvement in demand is not reflected in the share price.
