There is nothing wrong with banking a few profits after a parabolic move, especially when a stock becomes disproportionately large within one’s portfolio. Yet for Elektron, based purely on the fundamentals, we believe this would be a mistake despite the stock’s >5-fold rise since the 2017 lows. Indeed, this morning the company said that Bulgin was continuing to experience buoyant demand, with YTD performance ahead of plan. Supported by a ‘record orderbook’, driving H1 expected sales up at least 8% LFL to £13.5m (LY £12.5m). Accordingly, we have increased our FY19 turnover and EBIT forecasts for the division to £27.5m (vs £27.3 LY) and £6.9m (£7.2m) respectively. Elsewhere, EET is making good progress too, and tracking full year estimates. While Checkit is in “advanced discussions” with several global businesses to adopt its disruptive technology. From a macro risk perspective, we understand Elektron has minimal exposure to the recently proposed ‘US-EU/Chinese’ trade tariffs, even though c.64% of revenues are generated outside the UK. Instead there may actually be a small positive forex benefit given $ appreciation vs the £ (6%) and Tunisian Dinar (10%) over the past 2 months. So what does this all mean? Well, in terms of the group our FY19 EBIT climbs from £2.0m to £2.3m – which in turn pushes the sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation 2p higher to 62p/share.

Broadening of medical testing service ClearStar (CLSU) is a leading technology provider to the multi $billion job screening (63% of $17.8m 2017 revenues, up 11% LFL) and drug/medical testing (37%) markets. Momentum seems to be building. At the 22nd May trading update, CLSU announced that it had secured new work with the likes of Gulfstream Aerospace, Hilmar Cheese and BNSF Railway Company (a Berkshire Hathaway company). Then today came news that the firm had enhanced its medical services platform by integrating the ClearMD mobile drug testing solution with Abbott Laboratories, a leading global provider of healthcare diagnostics.This immediately increases the number of CLSU locations [to >9,500] where an employee/candidate can utilise ClearMD, particularly in rural areas. What’s more the agreement should also generate significant economies of scale (eg procurement), along with speeding up the whole service proposition. CEO Robert Vale stating: 'We are very proud to have achieved this integration with Abbott Laboratories, which makes ClearStar the only provider of paperless medical testing with a fully customisable user platform that is integrated with all three major US labs'. Although this agreement does not change our numbers or 95p/share valuation, we nevertheless believe the stock is significantly undervalued. Underpinned by CLSU’s technological expertise, ongoing buoyant demand, high repeat revenues and 90%+ retention rates.

After three years of super-charged growth in assets under management (AUM) – from £2.8bn to £11.0bn at the end of March 2018 – there are few signs of any slowdown. Impax grew AUM by c £1bn in the first half, all organic and has already added another £0.8bn in the first two months of H2. The Pax acquisition (now Impax Asset Management LLC) completed in January was the main event in H1. The group expects to see material benefits from reciprocal cross sales over the next two to three years. Short-term synergies may be derived from shared research and investment strategies, and integration of back/middle offices. Two independent investment teams already share research and analytical information. Read full article here ... https://www.equitydevelopment.co.uk/edreader/?d=%3D%3DANzQjM
