Report

Edison Investment Research

- Star baker

Investors have become used to a strong top-line performance by Ted Baker, but recent interim results show that the company is also delivering margin expansion and solid cash generation. This is a result of a sound investment and expansion strategy as well as good management, and should give investors increased confidence in consensus forecasts. Growth opportunities remain (particularly in Asia) but the company is not immune from the macro-economic and geopolitical headwinds that affect the sector.

Henderson Far East Income - Repositioning to raise total returns

Henderson Far East Income (HFEL) has consistently delivered on its objective to provide a rising dividend. However, like many investors, HFEL’s managers overestimated the potential for a post-pandemic rebound in China. The trust’s resultant overweight to Chinese consumer and other cyclicals led to a fall in portfolio revenues and underperformance in the financial year ended 31 August 2023 (FY23). With a view to improving future returns, HFEL’s board has since indicated an increased willingness to use reserves when necessary to support dividend payments, which it did in FY23. This reduces the r...

Renewi - Solid trading and better cash generation

Renewi’s FY24 trading update was in line with management’s expectations and its improved cash generation is reassuring for investors. Attention is now likely to turn the strategic review of the UK Municipals with management stating that they remain on track to update markets by the end of June. This could lead to an exit of key liabilities and leave Renewi as an attractive circular economy investment with strong market positions and organic growth plans, which should assist in generating value, including a potential re-rating of the shares.
