Marshall Motor Holdings - Growing share in tough markets

Although the UK election result may provide greater certainty for car buyers, the most recent forecasts from industry bodies continue to anticipate weaker demand in 2020. While Marshall Motor Holdings (MMH) is delivering on its profit expectations for 2019, the combination of the potential further weakness in car markets and the investment being made in loss-making businesses to grow future share and profits leads us to reduce our FY20 PBT estimate by £4.1m. However, a FY20 P/E ratio of 7.7x remains undemanding and is supported by the healthy dividend yield.
