Focusrite - Cautious optimism after significant challenges

Focusrite’s (TUNE’s) FY24 results highlight the negative effects of the most challenging year the CEO has faced. While the company’s main operating market has been difficult, management has continued to invest in development and release new products, which have enabled TUNE to outperform and gain share across all markets in FY24, and should enable it to thrive when conditions improve. With signs of stabilisation in its most important segment, TUNE’s valuation looks attractive.

Foxtons Group - Deals' benefits matched by tax rise

Foxtons Group’s recent acquisition of estate agents in two London commuter towns highlights the outer-London potential for low-risk, value-added expansion. Furthermore, it adds to the developing success of the company’s strategic vision and implies that medium-term targets are now coming into focus. We have updated our forecasts for the deals, but additional profit from the acquisitions is broadly matched by the increase in employer’s National Insurance costs, hence we retain our valuation of 134p/share and believe that falling interest rates and property market stability are contributing to a...
