SMALL-CAP WINNERS & LOSERS: DFS Furniture interim profit jumps

Tue, 09th Mar 2021 10:55

(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Tuesday.

----------

SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

----------

Capital & Regional, up 14% at 92.20 pence, 12-month range 32.3p-195.1p. The London-based retail and leisure-focused real estate investment trust reports a widened annual loss and a slip in net asset value per share, though occupancy and rent collection is resilient. NAV per share at December 30 is 150 pence, sinking 58% from 361p a year prior. Pretax loss in 2020 widens to GBP203.6 million from GBP121.0 million in 2019. Occupancy was at 92% on December 30. Rent collection for 2020 is sitting at 80%, while collection for the first quarter of this year is around 60%.

----------

DFS Furniture PLC, up 6.8% at 245.68p, 12-month range 101.8p-249.02p. The furniture retailer reports a strong performance in the first half of its current financial year amid improved demand for its products. Revenue up 17% in the 26 weeks to December 27 to GBP572.6 million, with pretax profit jumping by 56% to GBP72.1 million year-on-year. Company notes that improved performance was driven by strong order intake in the period, as a result of pent-up demand amid lockdown, market share gains, and a shift in consumer spending to the home.

----------

SMALL-CAP - LOSERS

----------

RPS Group PLC, down 3.8% at 94.01p, 12-month range 29.86p-115.74p. The professional services firm reports fall in 2020 earnings due to the pandemic. Revenue down by 12% in 2020 to GBP542.1 million and firm turns to pretax loss of GBP31.3 million compared to GBP4.9 million profit in 2019. RPS notes that, after a promising first quarter, trading was hurt by Covid-19, and fee revenue and adjusted operating profit ended down on the prior year.
