Ebiquity - H1 progress in continuing business

Ebiquity’s H118 trading update indicates a good revenue performance from both the Media and Analytics & Tech segments, together ahead 7% y-o-y on a like-for-like basis. The referral to a Phase 2 CMA investigation of the Intel disposal has led to uncertainty and a 9% fall in Intel revenues, with a consequent impact on profits. Our revised forecasts for FY18 reflect this, but the improving performance of the (larger) balance leaves FY19 estimates unchanged. The share price has drifted 15% since the CMA referral. A full rerating may have to wait for a resolution, but the current discount appears overdone.
