EXCELLENT RESULTS - with everything 100%+ UP19 Nov 2020 08:45
H1 Rev of £230m - 126% up
H1 Profit before Tax of £141m - 369% up
H1 EPS of 38.3p - 303% up
H1 dividend of 9.2p - 223% up ... and there'll be even more to come in H2. Should work out as a yield of 4%+ for the year.
To put these numbers into perspective, these Half Year Profits and EPS are considerably higher than the 2019 Full Year figures!
Also, looking ahead, they have said the following, which shows they're already dead confident for the year will be 30% up YoY. And actually, after these H1 results, I believe they have been very conservative in saying they expect £140m more in revenue for the rest of this financial year. It should be much higher than that. £400-450m would be my guess.
"Outlook
Following the strong performance in H1 2021, a strong start to H2 2021, and encouraging signs regarding the longevity of recently on-boarded clients, the Board is confident that net operating income for the year will be in excess of £370 million while H2 2021 operating costs (excluding variable remuneration) are likely to be similar to H1 2020.
The Group continues to invest in technology and people in both the existing CFD and stockbroking businesses, as well as in other market segments, which could present great opportunities to deliver further value for shareholders over the long term. "
Still very undervalued at 400p I believe. Should be 500p+
DYOR but this is still a superb mix of growth, value, income, and momentum. : )
