Low & Bonar - Slightly softer end to FY17

A year end update led to a c 5% reduction in our FY17 PBT expectation. More detail on trading performance will emerge with the FY17 results due on 31 January and we will review our group estimates fully at that time. Investors will look for signs of trading stability and prospective cash generation, while eyeing a dividend yield of c 6%. The search for a new CEO is unlikely to have concluded by then, in our view; the role is being covered in the short term by an experienced existing NED.
