Walker Greenbank - H1 dividend and full year guidance unchanged

Following H119 results, our full-year earnings estimates look attainable and are unchanged. Group strategy has been clearly stated, although a change in management may give rise to some shift of emphasis within Brands. Walker Greenbank’s share price is up from September lows, but has not really shown any appreciable recovery in a longer-term context and currently sits c 20% below our projected year-end NAV. The prospective dividend yield – heavily weighted towards final DPS – is now 5%.
