Edison Investment Research - Vertu Motors (VTU) - Defensive qualities shine through

- Defensive qualities shine through

Vertu’s strong defensive qualities have been clearly demonstrated during H118. A falling new car market and used car margin pressures have been absorbed, yet underlying PBT has again moved ahead. While we have cut our immediate profit estimates to reflect the cautious trading climate, we believe that the continued investment in upgrading facilities and the future acquisition potential is not recognised in the current share price.

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands.
