With risks rising, competition getting tougher, and franchisee profitability on the decline, a further re-basing of expectations is required. Domino's has taken a hit on sales but it still beats Pizza Hut when it comes to advertising. Domino’s is still behind Pizza Hut on metrics such as value, overall impression and satisfaction. Domino’s is still looking to press ahead with its strategy of boosting profitability by increasing the number of outlets, announcing that it intends to open up to 90 new stores in the UK this year.
The unexpected increase in the forecast for international coal prices and future involvement of India in the Paris Treaty Agreement has affected the share price. Also investors tend to distrust foreign companies that list on AIM. OPG also has a significant debt pile of over £200m. It has recently increased the timeline to pay off that debt, thus reducing the immediate burden on the income statement and freeing up cash to invest. That said, the company still paid £16.7m in finance costs last year and a large portion of that debt has variable interest rates set, so payments could rise in the future. As for dividends, it was paid this time back at the start of the year.
In the first half of 2017, HSS’s sales dipped 3.4 per cent to £160.5m. Reported losses before tax swelled to £30.1m from £7.8m in the same period last year. Rival Speedy Hire has performed much better this year, helped by investments in new services that allow for same day and next day tool hiring.

Major investment into two of its plants to boost capacity at Renshaw’s Crown Street site in Liverpool and Haydens in Devizes and acquiring a controlling stake in Welsh healthy snack bar maker Brighter Foods will benefit going forward.

Investors have grown skeptical over the $9bn purchase of HP Enterprise’s software business that is due to go forward this September. This is certainly a large deal for the company and isn’t without risk. Management has built the entire business around acquiring mature software systems, cutting costs and improving cash flow. This is something they’ve done very well in the past. Kevin Loosemore will be granted at least 947,140 shares under an additional share grant scheme within one week of completion of the $8.8 billion takeover, according to the deal’s prospectus which approximates to £21 million.
GKN has proven over the years its ability to grow appreciably ahead of overall market growth thanks to its deep connections with customers, highly skilled workforce and global reach. The firm’s £500m purchase of aerospace engineer Fokker in 2015 shows that the company can always use its huge heft and financial firepower to grow through acquisitions when necessary. While the company’s large pension deficit is something to keep an eye on, GKN should continue to perform very well as long as the global economy continues to grow.
Tax losses are running out so future earnings growth will be held back resulting in share price dropping. The order book is worth £30.3 million, including a £4.2 million gas pipeline installation contract with a food manufacturer, which began during the summer. If they can increase margins, then the share price will stabilise and move upwards.
There were eight fuel cell companies 11 years ago. Of those, ITM Power (ITM) and Ceres Power (CWR) are still on AIM and their share prices have each fallen by more than 90% over those 11 years. They had risen from their flotation share prices but they are currently trading below even those levels. They have adapted their business models over time and both have made progress. Ceres makes cells which convert fuel directly into electricity and has so far secured blue chip customers such as Honda, Nissan, and Cummins. Newcomer Loughborough based Intelligent Energy Holding PLC (IEH) is an energy technology group which develops efficient and clean hydrogen fuel cell power systems for the global automotive, consumer electronics, distributed power and generation markets - from powering zero-emission vehicles to compact energy packs for mobile devices and stationary power units for the always-on infrastructure. Ceres continues to work towards a commercial level launch for its SteelCell technology, and in the meantime it is bringing in cash via development and engineering fees from its technology partners, as well as through grants.
Conference calling start up Loop Up has started well from its admission price of 100p. It holds three patents for technology elements within the product and notes “approximately 1,850 enterprise customers, including companies such as Alcatel-Lucent International, Cable & Wireless Communications, Travelex, Allied World, National Geographic, Planet Hollywood, Subaru, LateRooms.com, Permira and Kleinwort Benson” It is estimated that 13 minutes – or around a third of these sessions – are wasted trying to patch people. Using Microsoft Outlook it takes just two clicks to organise a meeting and LoopUp sends out alerts to the host when their first guest joins the meeting rather than dialling in the old school way. The company offer the service on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than signing businesses up to year-long contracts as the model appears to promote loyalty.
Burford is a finance and investment management firm focused on law. Offering litigation around finance, risk management and asset recovery, the company operates in an ever-growing legal services market where profit margins are wide, and returns are almost guaranteed. It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago Burford was a startup worth only £80m. Today, the group has a market capitalisation of £2.3bn. I would not rule out further dividend growth in the years ahead and the share price has further to go Redrichmond.
