Initiation: Growth potential with a prospective 6.9% yield

Following the IPO placing of 17.5m shares, NAHL has traded on AIM since 29 May 2014. The group has adapted well to the new legal environment in the fragmented UK personal injury (PI) sector following the April 2013 substantive changes in how the consumer litigation market may operate. Over the past 20 years, NAHL has created significant competitive barriers to entry via high media spend, marketing know-how and long-established law firm relationships. The group's highly recognised Underdog character helps promote the brand. We have analysed the group's ongoing business and we initiate FY14 and FY15 estimates, which show solid revenue and strong EPS growth. The group also has strong operating cash flow and a high free cash conversion ratio, enabling management to indicate that c two-thirds of retained profit is to be paid as dividends to shareholders.
