Report

Poised for delivery

Share plc’s FY16 result was modestly ahead of our expectation and it is making progress in its work to enhance its customer proposition and servicing through significant investment in IT. The results of this should become more evident in the current year and help continue the growth in assets under administration (AUA), potentially helped by further acquisitions of books of accounts and corporate partnerships. As a platform with relatively stable costs once the IT renewal has been completed, increasing scale should feed through to geared profit improvement. Our central valuation of 29p is maintained.
