Marshall Motor Holdings - Strong finish to 2018 expected

Marshall Motor Holdings (MMH) released a trading update, which indicates that the group’s Q4 performance is now expected to be ahead of management and market expectations. Driven by stronger than anticipated used car sales with healthy margins, PBT is now expected to exceed FY17’s record level for the continuing business. We are increasing our FY18e PBT and EPS by 6.4%. Brexit uncertainty remains at the forefront of FY19 prospects, and as some of the currently favourable market dynamics may wane, we leave our FY19 estimates unchanged. The P/E ratio for FY19 is an undemanding 5.8x.
