European Assets Trust - Long-term capital growth and high yield

European Assets Trust (EAT) aims to achieve capital growth over the long term through investing in small- and medium-sized companies listed in Europe (ex-UK). Over the past 10 years to end-June 2019, the trust has delivered an annualised NAV total return of 15.1%. EAT also has an attractive 5.6% dividend yield, significantly higher than its peers, reflecting the boardâ€™s high distribution policy. The trust completed its legal migration to the UK from the Netherlands in March 2019; previously dual-listed in London and Amsterdam, EAT is now solely traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and is a constituent of the FTSE SmallCap and FTSE All-Share indices.

European Assets Trust - Performance, income and a well-balanced portfolio

European Assets Trust (EAT) aims to achieve long-term growth of capital through investments in smaller European companies (excluding the UK). EAT’s managers Sam Cosh and Lucy Morris believe such companies are often not well-researched or appreciated. This leads to market inefficiencies, which Cosh and Morris seek to exploit to deliver a superior long-term investment performance. The managers grasped the opportunities created by last year’s sharp market sell-off to add new names at attractive prices. These changes are now paying off. The trust has performed particularly strongly in absolute ter...

AGBA - A transformational deal

On 18 April, AGBA announced a surprise deal to acquire 100% of Triller Corp, a global AI-driven social video platform, in an all-stock transaction. Triller is privately-owned but has been independently valued at US$3.2bn. AGBA’s management is using a US$4bn valuation for the combined entity, in which AGBA shareholders will own 20% and Triller shareholders 80%. Triller recorded FY23 revenues of US$45m on 450m user accounts and 2.2m creators but is loss-making. In FY23, AGBA reported revenues of US$54m and 400,000+ clients. The combined group expects synergies from expanding and marketing to Tri...

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals - In a period of transition

FY23 was a transitional year for Biodexa, following the restructuring announced in March 2023 into a therapeutic company from a drug delivery specialist, and the implementation of cost-saving initiatives in light of the macroeconomic environment. The pipeline expansion primarily de-risks the business, partially fulfilled with the acquisition of lyn kinase activator tolimidone, for type 1 diabetes (T1D), in late 2023. Management estimates gross cash of £5.97m at end-FY23 to provide a runway into Q424, past the planned Phase IIa trial initiation for tolimidone. The next catalyst will likely be t...

Norcros - Sale of Johnson Tiles UK agreed

Norcros’s disposal of Johnson Tiles is the latest strategic activity taken by management to better allocate capital to fit with priorities. Last year it closed its UK adhesives operation. Norcros has a compelling investment case, where its new product development initiatives, market positioning and self-help initiatives allow it to take market share in both the UK and South Africa. Its rating is low at 6.0x FY24e P/E, which is attractive, especially when compared to its yield of 5.4% on its well-covered dividend. We retain our estimates and value the shares at 246p, implying c 30% upside.
