too cheap to ignore right now. Its earnings multiple is reasonable and its dividend is decent, but what particularly draws me to the stock is its discount to the sum of the value of the group’s parts.
Dated 21st SEPTEMBER 2018
Today’s full-year results from Smiths show a mixed picture. Currency headwinds caused revenue to fall by 2% to £3,213m last year. And headline pre-tax profit fell by 8% to £487m.
However, the company says that on an underlying basis — excluding various one-off factors such as acquisitions and disposals — earnings per share of 90.7p represent a 4% increase on the previous year.
I’m normally cautious about such wide-ranging adjustments, but in this case I think they are fair. Analysts expect underlying earnings to rise by about 10% this year, and I don’t see any reason to doubt this.

35.2 p was expected because of dividend plus the extra full on ex dividend day so lets call it 36.40 caused by dividend payment so that leaves 31p drop caused by markets dropping somewhere around 5.8%
Woodford had been selling down his stake to load up on house builders, building a position in Barratt Developments (BDEV +
) into the second largest holding in his fund.
The builder accounted for 6.2% of his fund at the end of August, up from 5.6% in July.
