From Simply Wallst... How is IG Design Group going to perform in the future? IGR is covered by 2 analysts who by consensus are expecting positive earnings, estimated to rise from current levels of £0.16 to £0.21next year. This illustrates a relatively optimistic outlook in the near term, with a relatively solid earnings per share growth rate of 33.3% over the next 1-2 years. https://simplywall.st/news/2017/08/03/what-should-you-know-about-ig-design-group-plcs-aimigr-growth/

Financial milestones -- Group revenues are now expected to achieve record levels - exceeding GBP300m; -- Profitability expected to be ahead of current market expectations; -- Cash generation is well ahead of previously expected levels and such that the Board's target of average annual leverage at less than 2.5x EBITDA will be achieved for the year ended 31 March 2017 - two years ahead of plan. "The Group's upgraded trading profit, coupled with lower interest costs from a strong cash flow, are expected to yield a profit after tax and earnings per share outcome for the full year that is also significantly ahead of market expectations."

End of a cracking week and still a bit of value here according to Edison earlier this week... INVESTMENT SUMMARY IG Design delivered strong FY16 results, with constant currency revenue growth of 4.4%, gains at both gross and operating margin level and net debt reduced by more than expected. The new branding emphasises that it is more than an efficient, commodity business and that its skillsets can be leveraged across adjacent categories. The US opportunity is by far the largest and the new local management team is making a strong start. The acquisition of Lang Companies for $3.6m in cash gives a further step up. The deal is earnings neutral in FY17e but accretive in FY18e as the synergistic benefits start to flow. The company has raised �5.0m net to fund the additional working capital and other investment opportunities. The share price has started to grasp the changing proposition, but has yet to fully reflect it. Last updated on 02/08/2016

IG Design to weather ‘Brexit’ storm, says Williams Citywire AA-rated Gervais Williams is backing IG Design (INGR) to prosper post-‘Brexit’ that’s to exposure to overseas markets. Williams holds 3.6% of his Miton UK Smaller Companies fund, which he runs with Citywire AA-rated Martin Turner , in the company. The stock is one of his few holdings exposed to consumer discretionary spend, a sector of the market likely to come under pressure if the ‘Brexit’ vote sparks a slowdown in the UK economy. But Williams said IG Design was likely to prosper given the fall in the pound. ‘This company does manufacture wrapping paper, cards and crackers for the US, Europe and the UK markets. If anything it should be a beneficiary of the weakness of sterling given the manufacturing plant here, and sales and profits generated overseas in foreign currencies,’ he said. Williams’ fund has returned 57.4%, more than double the 26% average return of funds in the Investment Association’s UK Smaller Companies sector. http://citywire.co.uk/money/the-expert-view-rbs-lloyds-and-itv/a937169?re=41423&ea=293
