Buy Gem Diamonds #GEMD says VectorVest. A spectacular series of diamond recoveries continues to drive growth.
London-based Gem Diamonds (GEMD.L) is a leading global diamond producer of high value diamonds. The Company owns 70% of the Letšeng mine in Lesotho and 100% of the Ghaghoo mine in Botswana. The Letšeng mine is famous for the production of large, top colour, exceptional white diamonds, making it the highest dollar per carat kimberlite diamond mine in the world.

On April 26th2018, GEMD published a Q1 trading update, and said during the period Jan 1st2018 to 31stMarch 2018 seven diamonds greater than 100 carats were recovered. The Lesotho Legend, a high-quality 910 carat, D Colour Type IIa diamond, which was recovered on 15thJan was sold on 12 March for US$40m (US$ 43 912 per carat). This is the second largest gem quality diamond recovered in the past century and the largest diamond recovered to date at the Letšeng mine. 16 diamonds sold for more than US$1m each, generating revenue of US$70.7m during the period. GEMD also said a formal sale process has commenced to sell the Ghaghoo mine. The Group had US$91.3m of cash on hand (US$ 66.7m attributable to Gem Diamonds) and net cash of US$48.1m (US$ 28.9m attributable to Gem Diamonds) at the end of the Period, compared to the Q4 net cash position of US$1.4m. CEO Clifford Elphick said:…” It is encouraging to see the improvement in the frequency of large diamond recoveries during the Period with seven diamonds greater than 100 carats being recovered, supported by strong production results driving an 8% increase in carats recovered. The market for Letšeng’s high-quality diamonds has remained robust over the Period, achieving an average price of US$ 3 276 per carat, up 48% from the previous quarter.”Separately on May 22nd2018, GEMD announced the recovery of a 115 carat, top white colour Type IIa diamond from the Letšeng mine. This is the ninth diamond of over 100 carats recovered in 2018, already exceeding the total number of diamonds of over 100 carats recovered in 2017.
In early April 2018, prior to the results announcement, VectorVest flagged the RT (Relative Timing) metric for GEMD, providing early indication of more to come from the steadily rising share price (RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend). Today at 118p the GEMD RT metric still logs a rating of 1.54, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 – 2.00. Other high scoring metrics include a GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) of 24%, which VectorVest also considers excellent. Despite trading at year highs of 118p, VectorVest still sees more to come, attributing a current value of 142p.
The chart of GEMD is shown above in my normal format. The share was revalued by VectorVest in April 2018 as EPS improved markedly over the past year. The share is trending higher and is on a BUY recommendation on VectorVest after charting a rounded or a saucer bottom over the past year.
Summary: To be a successful diamond miner requires a world-class mining asset, a great track record and an experienced management team. GEMD has all three in abundance, and no doubt its flagship Letšeng mine is the envy of its competitors, with quite a spectacular series of diamond recoveries already in 2018. With a 115-carat diamond recovery post the trading update and a 48% increase in sale price quarter on quarter, both fundamental and technical VectorVest metrics support further share price gains. Buy

On April 20th, 2018, BON published a trading update for the year ending March 31st2018 and confirmed that, reflecting the good progress achieved during the financial year, the FY18 profit before tax will be in line with Board expectations. CEO Helen Connolly said that as anticipated, trading conditions in the final quarter of the financial year remained challenging and, against this backdrop…” I am pleased that we have delivered an increase in the FY18 profit before tax compared to last year. Whilst we expect the market to remain difficult, our focus will be on continuing to improve our proposition to customers through a number of self-help initiatives, which we expect to drive further progress for the business during the new financial year.”The FY results announcement will be published on Tuesday 19thJune 2018.
In late March 2018, the VectorVest RT (Relative Timing) metric for BON flagged a move higher, indicating a possible buy opportunity for investors. RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend, and now with the stock trading at 101p, BON logs a current rating of 1.45 on this metric, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 – 2.00. Other VectorVest metrics show the stock to be in positive territory, with a GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) of 15% considered to be very good. A fair RS (Relative Safety) rating of 0.85, (scale of 0.00 to 2.00) may see cautious investors avoid the stock, but regardless there is plenty of growth opportunity when taking into account the current VectorVest valuation of 130p.
The chart of BON.L is shown above in my normal format. The VectorVest program revalued the share during the first three months of 2018. The share has since charted an inverted head and shoulders pattern and is on a Buy recommendation on VectorVest. The first technical objective from the head and shoulders pattern is 125p
Summary: Many retail stocks have endured extended periods of tough trading over the past few years, and BON is no exception. However management have responded decisively to meet the challenging trading environment, and with further progress expected in the new financial year driven by self-help initiatives, VectorVest believes this quality retailer is worth backing for a sustained recovery in the run up to the results announcement. Buy.

Buy Countryside Properties #CSP says VectorVest – This well managed company offers a compelling investment case for any portfolio…
Countryside Properties (CSP.L) is a leading UK homebuilder and regeneration partner specialising in place making and urban regeneration. The business is centred around two complementary divisions, Partnerships and Housebuilding. Partnerships specialises in urban regeneration of public sector land, delivering private and affordable homes by partnering with local authorities and housing associations. The Housebuilding division, operating under Countryside and Millgate brands, develops sites that provide private and affordable housing, on land owned or controlled by the Group. CSP was founded in 1958. It operates in locations across outer London, the South East, the North West of England and the Midlands.
On May 17th 2018, CSP published half-year results to March 31st 2018. The company reported a strong first half, with in line trading and good momentum into H2. Adjusted operating profits rose 22% to £46.8m, with completions 19% higher at 1172 homes. A strong net cash position enabled the group to acquire Westleigh Homes from existing cash resources post period end. Current trading is reported as ‘robust’, with visitor levels, cancellations and net reservation rates all in line with expectations and the prior year. CEO Ian Sutcliffe added: “…with continued strong growth in Partnerships and improved efficiency and returns in the Housebuilding division we remain confident of maintaining our sector leading growth over the medium-term.”

A perennial favourite of VectorVest despite a retracement in the share price in late 2017. The recent upward move in the GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) metric flagged up on the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management platform in March 2018 and is also clearly indicated on the chart below. The forecast growth in earnings continues all the way through to today’s GRT rating of 25%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. Although the RS (Relative Safety) metric only registers a fair rating of 1.00 (scale of 0.00 to 2.00), trading at 374p the stock is still way below the current VectorVest valuation of 539p per share.
A weekly chart of CSP.L is shown above in my normal format. The share is breaking upwards through a 52-week high and is on a buy recommendation on VectorVest. The technical target should be a repeat of the directional move made in March to July of 2017. This would result in a technical target similar to the current VectorVest valuation.
Summary: It is generally accepted that well managed UK property investments are ‘safe as houses’. I have spoken of the virtues of CSP on many occasions, and while the ‘fair’ RS rating may see conservative sector investors look elsewhere, in the view of VectorVest the substantial valuation upside on offer and excellent GRT rating adds up to a compelling investment case for any portfolio. Buy.

Buy Pressure Technologies #PRES says VectorVest. The group is well funded and in good shape to drive growth in the coming year
Sheffield based Pressure Technologies Plc (PRES.L) was founded on its leading market position as a designer and manufacturer of high-pressure components and systems serving the global energy, defence and industrial gases markets. Today it continues to serve those markets from a broader engineering base with specialist precision engineering businesses and has a worldwide presence in Alternative Energy as a global leader in biogas upgrading. PRES has four divisions, Precision Machined Components, Engineered Products, Cylinders and Alternative Energy, serving four main markets: oil and gas, defence, industrial gases and alternative energy.

On Dec 12th 2017, PRES published results for the year ended 30 Sept 2017. Revenues rose to £38.4m (2016 £35.8m), with adjusted operating profit of £1.1m (2016: loss £(0.4) m) and adjusted EPS of 6.3p (2016: loss (2.6)p). CEO John Hayward said the reorganisation in recent years “means that there are significant operational gearing gains to be made as volumes increase.” Referring to the post year end £4.8m institutional fundraising, he added that the share issue would “improve the Group’s ability to support large-scale organic growth,” … and with no immediate major capital expenditure required “the Group is in good shape and well prepared to capitalise on opportunities as they arise.”
In mid March 2018, the VectorVest RT (Relative Timing) metric for PRES started climbing, flagging up a potential growth opportunity. RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend, and despite the stock currently trading close to year highs at 182p, PRES still logs a current rating of 1.55 on this metric, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 – 2.00. The stock also scores a high RV (Relative Value) rating of 1.47 – also excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. A fair RS (Relative Safety) rating of 0.88 (scale of 0.00 to 2.00) may deter cautious traders, but at the current 182p the value opportunity is clear to see against a current VectorVest valuation of 228p per share.
The chart of PRES.L is shown above. The share is on a BUY recommendation on VectorVest after recently charting a first rising bottom. Since January 2018 the share has charted a “cup and handle” pattern which combined with the rising bottom and the current break of the 52-week high paints a positive technical picture. The technical target from the cup and handle is the same as the VectorVest valuation. Adventurous traders should consider an entry at 180p with a stop at 160p and target of 220p.
When examining the factors that go to make up successful VectorVest stock picks, the companies in question frequently provide specialist services to a niche market and are manoeuvring to dominate through rapid growth. PRES is one such company, and so successful has it been that institutional investors approached the board and funded a £4.8m war chest for future acquisitions. The low RS rating may prove a bridge too far for less adventurous investors, but VectorVest believes all the factors are in place to drive rapid growth in the coming year. Buy.

Stellar results announcement and growth pipeline at U+I Group #UAI marks the stock out as a buy at VectorVest.
U+I Group Plc (UAI.L), formerly Development Securities Plc, is a specialist regeneration developer and investor. With a £6bn portfolio of complex, mixed-use, community-focused regeneration projects including a £200m investment portfolio, the company continues to unlock urban sites bristling with potential in the London, Manchester and Dublin city regions. UAI exists to create long-term socioeconomic benefit for the communities in which it works, delivering sustainable returns to shareholders.

On April 26th, 2018, UAI published results for the year ending Feb 28th2018. The group reported a record year of profits and progress, with £68.3m of development and trading gains (2017: £35m) delivered at top end of FY18 guidance. A 12.2% post tax total return was driven by increase in basic NAV to 303 pence per share, along with significant progress on repositioning the investment portfolio. UAI reported net management fees of £2.1m earned, and on the back of that approved a 100% increase in the total dividend to 17.9p (2017: 8.7p). CEO Matthew Weiner said the results “are an endorsement of the ambition that we set ourselves when we established U+I.” He added that UAI has further visibility for the next ten years.. “with a pipeline of existing projects with a gross development value in excess of £7bn.”
The spike in the UAI share price since the results announcement clearly shows the bullish response from the City and markets to the numbers. Even at this new elevated rating, the VectorVest RT (Relative Timing) metric, (a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend), still logs a current rating of 1.54, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 – 2.00. Other high scoring metrics include a GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) of 15%, which VectorVest considers to be very good. A fair 0.95 RS (Relative Safety) rating, (scale of 0.00 to 2.00) may deter cautious investors, but trading at 237p there is plenty of growth opportunity when taking into account the current VectorVest valuation of 286p and NAV of 303p.
The UAI share price chart is shown above in my normal format. In the final months of 2017 based on a jump in earnings the VectorVest program revalued the share upwards. Since this time the share has charted an ascending triangle which is a bullish technical pattern. The share is on a Buy recommendation on VectorVest and should be carefully considered on any short term weakness over the next few days.
Summary: Managed well, a property investment company can be a valuable addition to any investor portfolio. The stellar results announcement and growth pipeline puts UAI firmly in the frame as one such prospective company, particularly in light of the 100% increase in the dividend – a bullish move from a confident management team. These factors, the increase in NAV and a strong RT (Relative Timing) rating ensures a buy recommendation from the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management platform.

On January 19th2018, VLX moved from main market to AIM, in order to give it greater flexibility to pursue growth and partnership opportunities. On April 11th2018, VLX published a trading statement ahead of FY results on June 8th2018, and confirmed that it was trading in line with expectations. VLX said that FY sales expected to show a modest return to growth (c+5%) reversing the trend of a sales decline seen over the previous 3 years. The group reported net cash at the year-end of $9.9m, up from $5.8m reported at the half year. Exec Chairman Nat Rothschild said the sales pipeline, developed over the past year, “has started to convert into new revenues for the group, and we expect to deliver a robust trading performance for the full year in line with the Board’s expectations.” He added that VLX “continue to review value accretive acquisitions in order to diversify our customer base, and expect to make further progress in this regard in the coming months.”Separately on April 27th2018, VLX announced it had completed the acquisition of MC Electronics LLC, a US based manufacturer of customised complex medical and industrial cables.
In a previous note on VLX published Oct 24th2017, shares rose from the then 73p to 86p before falling back. Following the AIM move in January, shares traded at 64p, at which point the VectorVest VLX stock graph analysis logged another rise in the GRT (Earnings Growth Rate). Shares have risen in value since then, but the GRT rating today still logs an excellent 34%. Despite the RS (Relative Safety) rating as ‘fair’, scoring 0.94 on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, VLX scores highly on the VST-Vector, the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database, logging a ‘very good’ rating of 1.30 on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. With a VectorVest stock valuation rating of 112p, VLX still remains considerably undervalued at the current 76p.
The chart of VLX.L is shown above in my normal format. The blue line study in the window below the price plot shows that earnings per share (EPS) has more than trebled over the past year. This is the engine that’s driving the share price. Since January 2018 the share has pulled back to a previous resistance level and charted a “double bottom” at this level which is a positive sign. Over the past month the share has traded higher and is presently on a BUY recommendation on VectorVest with a stop loss of 68p.
I have spoken about VLX on numerous occasions in the past, highlighting a well-managed company with a broad and diverse manufacturing base. The return to growth is highly significant, and with the move to AIM improving flexibility (and saving money), the current year growth strategy is well underway already with the acquisition of MC Electronics. Fuelled with a growing cash pile for further acquisitions, VectorVest sees every reason to keep buying the shares.
