Polypipe - Premium positioning

Polypipe’s rating is currently slightly ahead of its sector, but this overlooks the company’s positioning in long-term growth segments, in our view. The FY18 trading performance was noticeably stronger in H2, though margin progression was constrained by short-term production inefficiencies in certain areas. Management provide a clear and consistent message regarding business focus under a refreshed, growth-oriented strategy.
