Posted at 15/4/2024 10:04 by skinny FWIW :- RBC raises AB Foods price target to 2,700 (2,650) pence - 'outperform' |
Posted at 04/3/2024 07:25 by tlobs2 So how long will it be before Shein put in a bid for the entire Primark operation from ABF? |
Posted at 14/2/2024 17:38 by philanderer ABF has become my largest portfolio holding by value tonight. WTB down to number two, VSVS three :-) |
Posted at 01/2/2024 09:52 by mastey Any reason ABF being marked down these past few days?I guess the only upside will be when buybacks start again it will be a cheaper prices |
Posted at 25/1/2024 00:15 by philanderer Cheap ABF could beat 2024 expectations, says LiberumAssociated British Foods (ABF) is trading on an ‘inexpensive&# Analyst Anubhav Malhotra retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of £28 on the Citywire Elite Companies AA-rated stock, which gained 0.8% to £22.86 on Tuesday. The group reported a ‘solid’ first-quarter 2024, with group sales up 5.4% year-on-year and Primark sales growth of 2.8% against a tough 11% comparative, while there was increased confidence in the delivery of more than 10% Primark adjusted operating margin in full-year 2024. ‘We continue to forecast that the group could beat market consensus expectations for full-year 2024 driven by stronger than expected profitability at both Primark and sugar,’ said Malhotra. ‘Earnings beat, significant and growing free cash generation, consistent cash returns to shareholders via buybacks and dividends, and an inexpensive valuation underpin our “buy” rating.’ citywire.com |
Posted at 22/11/2023 16:55 by philanderer Associated British Food price target upgrade underpinned by strong fundamentals, says investment bankLiberum, the investment bank, has upgraded its price target for Associated British Foods PLC (LSE:ABF) from £24 to £28 per share, maintaining a 'buy' recommendation reflecting its confidence in ABF's strong trading performance and its effective capital return strategy. Since upgrading to buy in June, Liberum said ABF has registered an 11% increase in earnings per share (EPS), with 8% coming from enhanced trading activities and 3% from strategic share buybacks. It notes that ABF's commitment to shareholder value is further evidenced by its announcement of an additional £500 million share buyback program and a special dividend of 12.7p per share, amounting to approximately £100 million. The bank also highlights that ABF's capital allocation framework is designed to facilitate cash returns to shareholders when leverage, including lease liabilities, is below one-times. ABF's current leverage ratios are well within this limit. Liberum points out that the positive trading outlook for ABF is supported by various factors, including margin tailwinds, capital release in Primark, strong growth in the Sugar segment, and lower inflation across the group. In the Sugar sector, Liberum forecasts a significantly brighter outlook for the fiscal year 2024, driven by high sugar prices, reduced energy costs, and a normal crop season, which are expected to boost profits at British Sugar and Azucarera. Additionally, Vivergo is projected to reach a break-even point after substantial losses in the past two years, as per Liberum's analysis. The £500 million buyback program and the special dividend, as Liberum observes, reflect management’s confidence in ABF's future free cash flow (FCF) generation. Liberum estimates that ABF has the capacity to sustain such levels of cash returns regularly. In the Retail division, Liberum forecasts a return to approximately a 12% earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin from 8% in the fiscal year 2023, aided by price increases, favourable foreign exchange impacts, and reductions in input and freight costs. Liberum also anticipates benefits from operating leverage and automation in future years. Finally, the bank expects ABF to deliver a 5.9% free cash flow yield on its current market capitalisation in the fiscal year 2024, compared to 2.2% in the fiscal year 2023. The company's shares are currently trading at a price-to-earnings (PE) multiple of 12.8 times and an enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EV/EBITDA) multiple of 7.0 times for the fiscal year 2024. This valuation, according to Liberum, represents a circa 30% discount to the 10-year average multiples, indicating a significant upside potential for investors and justifying the increased price target and 'buy' stance. proactiveinvestors.c |
Posted at 09/10/2023 21:22 by mastey In my view this is just short term noise. It was great to see the buy back sort of suspended just after results and re started when share price started falling .well done ABF and its advisors. Will benefit all shareholders going forward. The weather will turn as it always does and stock will shift without major discounts. The Primark team have more experience ( best in retail) and will not panic . Let’s hope all will see through short term and JP Morgan put option clients lose out. Or the cheap calls they have written get paid out and JP Morgan have to buy to cover |
Posted at 09/10/2023 13:48 by philanderer As Skinny pointed out...The warm weather may not have been helpful for clothing retailers, according to JPMorgan, as they launch their Autumn/ Winter ranges. The bank points out that the autumn/winter selling period is relatively short, therefore often bringing pressure to start discounting early if there is a weak start to the season. “We expect all of our clothing coverage to be impacted by the warm temperatures, but given the relative share price performance, we place Next and ABF (Primark) on negative aatalyst watch ahead of their updates on November 1 and November 7 respectively,” the broker said. proactiveinvestors.c |
Posted at 29/6/2023 10:06 by philanderer Liberum upgrades Associated British FoodsLiberum has upgraded Associated British Foods (ABF) as it believes the Primark owner has passed through the worst of the inflationary pressures. Analyst Anubhav Malhotra upgraded his recommendation to ‘buy’ and increased the target price from £19 to £24 on the Citywire Elite Companies plus-rated stock, which rose 1.3%, or 25p, to £19.76 on Wednesday. ‘ABF has passed through the worst of cost inflationary pressures and various factors are aligning that should drive a period of significant earnings growth,’ he said. ‘These will entail margin recovery at Primark, grocery, and sugar with continued strong performance in ingredients.’ Malhotra said the upside in the share price is being ‘driven by earnings growth’ and ‘positive earnings momentum should drive a re-rating providing greater upside than our target price may suggest for now’. ‘On a sum-of-the-parts basis, we believe Primark is underappreciated by the market with an implied price/earnings valuation discount of 30% to its peers,’ he said. citywire.com |
Posted at 24/3/2022 13:22 by cashisking76 ABF share price is now too cheap to ignore and is clearly way too oversold at the moment, hence, just bought in here and joined the ABF party today, will certainly continue to add more at these depressed oversold levels, GLA. |
