Mid-week Tip
ProCook share growth
Kitchenware retailer ProCook Group (LSE: PROC) floated on the full list last autumn. The share price range for the offer was 137p to 185p. The price was eventually set at 145p, and the current share price is not much higher. Strong third quarter sales indicate that trading remains impressive and market share is being gained in a fragmented sector. A full year pre-tax profit of £10m is forecast, rising to £12.4m in the year to March 2023. The company did not raise money in the flotation. Net cash is expected to be £13.6m, after £3.9m of float costs, at the end of March 2022, falling to less than £8m one year later even after dividend payments and capital investment on warehousing and new stores. Management is promising dividends of between 20% and 30% of adjusted post-tax profit. The prospective 2022-23 yield is nearly 2%. Buy for longer term
