Marshall Motor Holdings - Still performing robustly with strong cash flow

Marshall Motor Holdings (MMH) has issued a pre-close trading statement indicating that performance was in line with management expectations even though markets remain challenging. It also comes at a time when peers have been suffering from what increasingly appear to be company-specific issues. With new and used-car demand continuing to decline in the face of Brexit-induced confidence issues, MMH again outperformed. However, margin pressures and further potential H2 supply-side constraints are expected to lead to a modest fall in profitability. Our estimates remain unchanged and MMH is trading on a current-year multiple of just 5.9x supported by a healthy dividend yield. Any recovery in markets post the Brexit outcome is not reflected by the multiple contraction, even if much of the downside now appears discounted.
