Reassuring AGM update, still attractively valued

Strix 2020 AGM trading update: Strix last week issued a reassuring statement. ‘Strix has continued to make a solid start to 2020, given the global macroeconomic disruption caused by COVID-19…We have successfully implemented a range of efficiency measures and strategic initiatives to limit the impact on the FY forecast and continue to monitor consumer demand carefully as lockdown restrictions are eased’ CEO, Mark Bartlett.

Accordingly, we leave our FY 20/21 P&L forecasts unchanged. As a reminder, Strix’s final dividend will be paid shortly (3 June 2020). The Company’s dividend intention is to increase the dividend in line with future underlying earnings, from a 2019 base of 7.7p. This underlines the income attractions of this stock to investors, at a time when UK plc has been widely cutting dividend in response to COVID19 pressures.
