Equipment hire shakeout presents opportunities

It has been an exciting couple of weeks for the equipment hire subsector. Recent IPO HSS Hire warned, blaming the weather and the General Election. Northgate hit a wall of depreciation and currency headwinds while also flagging internal issues in its UK business. Worse still, Speedy Hire collapsed for multiple company-specific reasons, prompting the resignation of newish CEO Mark Rogerson. It is unlikely that recent profit warnings from Speedy and HSS are entirely unrelated but the common theme

Top Picks for 2023 - 2022 review and outlook for 2023

On 10 January last year, we set out our ten top stock picks for 2022, in what turned out to be a very poor twelve months for global equities, due to war, accelerating inflation, political instability and recession fears.

In this note we discuss the performance of our 2022 top picks, equities trends in 2022, and our

QuotedData’s Real Estate Monthly Roundup – January 2023

Performance - 2022 ended with another difficult month for property companies as the sector continues to get to grips with the impact of higher interest rates. There were several funds that performed well during December, however, with secondary shopping centre landlord Capital & Regional top of the pile. For a second month on the trot Home REIT saw its share price tank after it came under attack from a short seller in November. Valuation moves - It was a mixed bag for valuations, with six-month

FY22 TU – Strong Upgrades on Better Performance

Argentex has issued a trading update for the 9M22 period this morning, with revenue and earnings performance ahead of expectations. FY22 revenues are up 54% yoy to £50.4m (+7.5% vs. SCM estimates) and operating margins are ahead of management expectations.

Strong H1 update and contract wins

Made Tech has announced a very strong update: H1 sales +76% y/y and alongside this, also several wins/expansions worth £27m. As a result, Made Tech has now delivered 48%/FY23e sales and as well, has a very strong backlog: £48m (+53% y/y) so is very well positioned to drive continued growth, both this year and next. Margins meanwhile leave room for improvement, as having generated £0.5m EBITDA in H1, this leaves work to do, but with contractors now materially lower (at c.10% vs. c.20% in the PY)

Cenkos; Marlowe Plc -- Building the software offering

Marlowe hosted a well-attended CMD last week in which it provided a deep dive into its burgeoning software business, which from a standing start in 2018, has grown to represent c25% of group Adj EBITDA today, driven by a combination of targeted acquisitions and strong organic growth (mid-high teens in FY22A). Multiple macro drivers underpin growth in the global GRC market, which is expanding at a c8% CAGR. With the share price having nearly halved over the past 12-months, Marlowe now trades mate

Thacker Pass Update

The lithium industry, perhaps the hottest sub-sector of mining right now, was set even more abuzz by the announcement yesterday that Lithium Americas Corp has secured a $650m financing package from General Motors for the development and construction of the Thacker Pass mine in Nevada. There has been some talk for a while on when an automaker was going to make a serious investment in a battery metal mine. This is the largest ever and it is suitable that it is in Thacker Pass which is the largest
