Secure Trust Bank - FY23 underlying PBT broadly maintained

Secure Trust Bank’s (STB’s) Q423 trading update showcased a robust performance with net loans of £3.3bn, up 13.6% y-o-y.

STB’s disclosure of modest exposure to discretionary commissions in motor finance lending should be a relief to investors, as the ongoing Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigation has been an uncertainty overhanging the sector. Our underly...

AGBA - A transformational deal

On 18 April, AGBA announced a surprise deal to acquire 100% of Triller Corp, a global AI-driven social video platform, in an all-stock transaction.

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals - In a period of transition

FY23 was a transitional year for Biodexa, following the restructuring announced in March 2023 into a therapeutic company from a drug delivery specialist, and the implementation of cost-saving initiatives in light of the macroeconomic environment. The pipeline expansion primarily de-risks the business, partially fulfilled with the acquisition of lyn kinase activator tolimidone, for type 1 diabetes (T1D), in late 2023. Management estimates gross cash of £5.97m at end-FY23 to provide a runway into Q424, past the planned Phase IIa trial initiation for tolimidone. The next catalyst will likely be t...

Norcros - Sale of Johnson Tiles UK agreed

Norcros’s disposal of Johnson Tiles is the latest strategic activity taken by management to better allocate capital to fit with priorities. Last year it closed its UK adhesives operation. Norcros has a compelling investment case, where its new product development initiatives, market positioning and self-help initiatives allow it to take market share in both the UK and South Africa. Its rating is low at 6.0x FY24e P/E, which is attractive, especially when compared to its yield of 5.4% on its well-covered dividend. We retain our estimates and value the shares at 246p, implying c 30% upside.
