Entertainment One - Trading update and library revaluation

Entertainment Oneâ€™s trading update to 23 September (ie most of H1) does not disclose figures, due to the Hasbro bid. The group is heavily weighted to H2.

The independent library revaluation was $2.1bn at end March (2018: $2.0bn). The acquisition agreement with Hasbro, for 560p per share cash, is to be put to share-holders on 17 Octo...

Entertainment One - Mark Gordonâ€™s content

Entertainment One (ETO) has reached a multi-year production agreement with Mark Gordon to develop and produce content. The continuing alignment of his efforts with the groupâ€™s objectives is good news and removes any residual uncertainty post last monthâ€™s press stories.

ETO is currently trading at a discount of around 7% to peers, based on our sum-of-the-parts valuation.

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
