Against a tough trading background in FY24, Speedy Hire has taken steps to build a platform for long term sustainable growth through the launch of its Velocity strategy. While progress has been more strategic than financial in the year – although we note positive underlying cash flow was achieved - new business wins, the acquisition of Green Power Hire and a transitioned B&Q model all suggest that profitability is likely to move ahead again from FY25 onwards. Speedy’s FY24 pre close statement e...

Liberum's research coverage encompasses more than 300 stocks across 12 pillars. Each quarter we ask our sector teams to list their most and least preferred stocks on a six to 12-month time horizon. Stock selection is largely limited to those names listed in the FTSE 350 and STOXX 600, eliminating less liquid names, and is driven by analysts’ preferences, rather than total shareholder return.
Speedy’s trading update for the year ended March 2023 is reassuring as the Board reports that it expects profits for the year to hit consensus expectations. 14% growth in revenues for the year implies a slowing in growth to +10% at the end of FY23. The main driver of revenue growth in the year has been hire rates, which have been improving as the industry has been disciplined in recouping input cost inflation. Net debt closed the year a little better than expected. It also reports that no furthe...
Ashtead’s first guidance on US fleet capex for FY24 is $3.0-3.3bn, which underpins mid-teens US revenue growth. This proves management’s confidence in the structural drivers of growth that Sunbelt is enjoying. Rental penetration keeps rising and US mega-projects drive demand towards the majors.

The debate rages on about whether Sunbelt’s growth is cyclical or structural, and we see the evid...
The UK economic outlook has improved, and energy prices have been much responsible for that. Despite some uncertainty left on this front for winter 23/24, prices are not expected to rise as rapidly as in 2022, thus views on inflation and economic growth have become less pessimistic (ours included) over the last two months. Why? A better energy outlook benefits consumption, business sentiment (thus investment) and eases the burden of fiscal support in 2023.
