On August 24th 2-17, PMO published a half year report, where it revealed record production of 82.1 kboepd, an increase of 34.5% on the prior period. In addition, PMO reported cash flows from operations of $292m, up 168% on the prior period, and confirmed completion of a comprehensive refinancing programme. Looking forward PMO cited the potential of the new BW Catcher development, and on October 24thconfirmed that delivery of first oil remains on schedule for the end of 2017. PMO also raised a further $200m from the sale of the Wytch Farm field to Verus Petroleum, confirming CEO Tony Durrant’s statement that PMO is “ahead of plans to restore financial strength” and is “progressing a number of exciting projects for future growth.”
VectorVest first published a note on PMO in March this year, where we highlighted how debt restructuring worries had weighed heavily on the share price. The solid progress delivered since our March note underscores the opportunity on offer, although the PMO RS (Relative Safety) metric scores a poor 0.82 on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. However, the RT (Relative Timing) metric, a fast, smart and accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend sees PMO score 1.61, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, and this is backed up by an excellent GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) rating of 34%. GRT reflects a company’s 1-3 year forecasted earnings growth rate in % per year. VectorVest values PMO at 100p per share, meaning that despite the recent recovery to 76p, the stock remains undervalued.
The chart of PMO.L is shown above. The price action is in candlestick format while the VectorVest calculated valuation of PMO.L is shown by the green line study above the price. The share is on a BUY recommendation on VectorVest with the last BUY signals occurring at the start of September 2017. Of note to technical analysts is the completed “inverted head and shoulders reversal pattern”. This pattern has a strong base since March 2017 and is technically very positive for the share.
Summary: PMO is scheduled to deliver a further trading update in late November. As in our previous note, we have highlighted PMO as an opportunity to aggressive traders, but unlike our previous note, the RT (Relative Timing), (GRT) Earnings Growth and Valuation all point to a sharp improvement in trading, cashflow and outlook. With the financial restructuring complete, PMO is now flagged as a Buy on the VectorVest platform, although cautious traders may want to wait until after the trading update before making a move.

On August 1st 2017, CYBG said trading for the 3 months to 30 June 2017 had been in line with expectations, with continued delivery against the Group’s strategic targets and objectives. CYBG confirmed a continued robust capital position, with a CET1 ratio of 12.4%, comfortably within target range (12-13%). In addition agreement had been reached to close the Group’s defined benefit pension scheme to future benefit accrual, delivering a substantial reduction in the scheme’s funding deficit. The CYBG efficiency programme also came in ahead of schedule, with underlying FY operating costs expected in below £680m, ahead of previous guidance of £690-700m. CEO David Duffy said the board remained confident that the medium term strategy outlined at the capital markets day in September 2016 “will differentiate us from our competitors and deliver our FY19 targets as we seek to build a better bank for our customers and staff and improve returns for our shareholders.”
April 2017 triggered a GRT (Earnings Growth Rate) earnings increase for CYBG across the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management platform. Despite the stock briefly dipping from 285p to 260p, the GRT chart has continued to build over the summer. GRT reflects a company’s one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year, and despite trading today at 313p, CYBG still logs a GRT of 42%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. Despite the increase since April, CYBG still trades at just 313p, leaving the stock materially undervalued against our target of 462p.
The chart of CYBG.L is shown above in my normal format. Earnings per share (EPS) is growing smoothly over the last year and that’s driving the share price higher. EPS has trebled over the last year. Technically the chart is strong with the share breaking through a 52 week high at the end of September 2017. CYBG.L is ona BUY recommendation on VectorVest.
Although many banks and financials stocks have endured a torrid time since the credit crunch, some of the smaller market constituents offer greater flexibility and significant upside potential. Having triggered a substantial earnings upgrade metric on the VectorVest platform, CYBG is firmly in this category, particularly on account of operating cost reductions and reduced pension liabilities. Shares have already delivered substantial growth since the April flag, but in the view of VectorVest remain materially undervalued against our 462p valuation.

On July 25th 2017, VLX held its AGM where the group updated on trading for the 3 months ended June 2017. During the period trading remained in line with expectations, with an improvement in profitability vs. the prior year, as a result of cost cutting actions leading to lower operating expenses. Despite some operational challenges at the VLX Mexico facility, Chairman Nat Rothschild said he believed that cost reduction measures and ongoing operational improvements “should allow us to maintain gross profit margins at a similar level in the year ahead despite commodity price increases. “ Separately on August 10th, Volex announced a strategic partnership with Nexen Tech Corporation, a leading South Korean manufacturer of automotive harnesses and connectors. Group interim results are scheduled for November 10th 2017.
The sharp rise in VLX shares in June had been flagged approximately 2 weeks earlier as VectorVest stock graph analysis logged a rise in the GRT (Earnings Growth Rate), when the shares were trading around 42p. Despite the RS (Relative Safety) rating as ‘fair’, scoring 0.90 on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, VLX still retains a forecasted GRT of 28%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. With the VST-Vector (VST) master indicator, (ranks every stock in the VectorVest database), also logging a ‘very good’ rating of 1.33 on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, VLX still remains undervalued at the current 73p against a VectorVest valuation of 99p.
The chart of VLX.L is shown above in my normal format. Earnings per share (EPS) is shown in the window below the price. This EPS growth is the engine that continues to push the share price upwards. The share is on a BUY recommendation and trending upwards in what technical analysts refer to as a series of rising price bottoms.
Summary: As with so many companies that score highly across the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management system, VLX is a well-managed company with a broad and diverse manufacturing base. These qualities have resulted in a significant improvement in profitability and visibility, fuelling the acquisitive growth strategy. With this backdrop, VectorVest sees every reason to buy the shares in the run up to the interim results in November.

Following a strong set of FY results, on August 31 2017, AIM listed Victoria updated on trading, and the board confirmed it had continued to make “good progress” in its key UK, European and Australian markets, and was on track to meet “all objectives” for the current financial year. “In addition to organic growth, the group continues to work on further acquisitions – in particular in Europe – and there is no shortage of high quality opportunities,” the board said in its statement. “With a strong platform for growth in place the board continues to remain confident for the future and committed to delivering returns for shareholders.” Interim results are scheduled for November 2017.
VectorVest first reported on the potential at VCP in Sept 2016, following which the stock continued to outperform, flagging up further opportunities in April and September 2017. Once again today, the stock ticks all the boxes, demonstrating continued strong earnings growth; the GRT – Earnings Growth Rate, (reflecting one to three year forecasted earnings growth in percent per year) still records a rate of 26% for VCP, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. VCP also scores excellent ratings on RV (Relative Value) and RT (Relative Timing) metrics, and a ‘very good’ rating on RS (Relative Safety) metric, up from a ‘fair’ rating in April. Finally VCP’s valuation has again increased to 736p, and still offers investors some upside at the current 675p.
The chart of VCP is shown above in my normal format. Earnings per share (EPS) is growing strongly. On cue the share has broken upwards on the 4th attempt and looks bound much higher over the next few weeks.
Summary: This quality company clearly illustrates how the criteria identified by the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management system this time last year has materialised into a solid year of growth and stellar returns for shareholders. With VCP, the trend continues to be the investor’s friend, and VectorVest believes there is every reason to continue buying the shares in the run up to the November interims. Keep buying.

Reiterate buy Victoria (VCP) says VectorVest. After a stellar year it could be Groundhog Day once again?

VectorVest first reported on the potential at VCP in Sept 2016, and then again on April 5 2017, where we noted strong earnings growth and generally unfulfilled potential. In April we flagged a value of 689p, and although the stock dipped briefly in line with market after that, it bounced back strongly to record a year high of 647p following the results. Despite this performance, the GRT – Earnings Growth Rate, (reflecting one to three year forecasted earnings growth in percent per year) still records a rate of 28% for VCP, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. Added to this the RT (Relative Safety) metric, which in April only rated VCP as fair, has dramatically improved, with a rating of 1.37, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. Finally VCP’s valuation has increased to 729p, which means at the current 625.50p per share, the stock is once again undervalued.
The chart of VCP is shown above using my normal notation showing clearly a strong bull trend of rising price bottoms over the past year. The resilience shown in the face of a very negative few days trading on the overall market from the 4th to the 8thSeptember is also a bullish sign. Of note is the fact that in the last pullback, in the first weeks of August 2017, the share refused to go back and kiss the last major old high. This is the definition of a strong trend as defined by Charles Dow over 100 years ago. The trend looks set to continue as the overall market hopefully shrugs off its summer sleep.
Summary: Groundhog day for VCP? As we once again look at this quality company, we can see how the criteria identified by the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management system this time last year has materialised into a solid year of growth and a doubling in the share price. We fully expect this to continue, as the excellent visibility provided in the August trading statement and bullish charting signals indicate the VCP growth story is set to continue.

VectorVest highlighted the potential of TAP in a blog entry on the 21st March 2017. At that stage the share was trading at 295 and has made considerable progress since the entry. The share price at the close on the 10th of July was 371.
The share remains undervalued and has an excellent earnings potential RV) on the VectorVest program. The RV on a scale between 0 and 2 is 1.57. This is judged as excellent. Also the relative safety (RS) is good at 1.11, also on a scale between o and 2.
The share pays a dividend yield of over 2% and VectorVest forecasts that this will grow strongly over the next year.
The chart of TAP is shown below where the technical picture is strong. The share has been on a Buy recommendation on VectorVest since the March 2017. During June 2017 the share broke upwards as forecast in March and since has tested the previous resistance twice. Since this double bottom the share has been trending upwards and looks poised for further significant gains.
As reported last weekend the general UK market has printed a Confirmed Down since the close on July 4th 2017. The advice on the front page of VectorVest suggests caution and that’s great advice for the moment.
If and when the general market gets back into buying mode TAP looks highly probable for further gains. Although this share is suitable for my speculative purposes it may not be suitable for you.

On June 2nd 2017, PLUS updated on trading update, and said the the positive trends outlined in the first quarter trading update issued on 26th April 2017 had continued. A further half-year trading update on July 3rd said that the business has continued to trade very strongly, and as a result, the Company now anticipates that revenues and profits for the year ending 31 December 2017 will be significantly ahead of current market expectations. CEO Asaf Elimelech said; “We have had a very successful half year, significantly ahead of our expectations. This puts us in a strong position for the remainder of the year. We are confident that our flexible business model will enable us to adapt to the upcoming regulatory changes and gives us a competitive advantage that will enable us to deliver another excellent performance this year.”
PLUS started appearing across key VectorVest metrics in December 2016, when the shares traded around 320p. While the well-documented regulatory challenges with financial authorities around the globe still sees a low RS (Relative Safety) rating of just 0.83 – poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, the rate of recovery since the beginning of the year has seen the stock hit our current Value target of 578p per share for PLUS, indicating that at 596p it is currently fully. This only tells part of the story though: the RT (Relative Timing) indicator,which is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock’s price trend, shows a rating of 1.55 for PLUS, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00.
The chart of Plus 500 is shown above where the share is on a VectorVest BUY recommendation. Over the past month the share has charted a triangular consolidation pattern and has gapped upwards out of the consolidation over the past two trading days. This gap (breakaway gap) usually precedes a strong move. Those holding the share should sit tight and consider adding to a winning position.
Summary: Since our April 26th note, PLUS has made dramatic progress from 468p and has hit our valuation of 578p. We repeat the view that PLUS has emerged from its not inconsiderable regulatory challenges in fine shape, and with an extremely bullish forecast for full year numbers. The valuation gap has now closed, but with the trend very much a friend in this case, the RT indicator shows that further progress from this point is likely. Aggressive traders who have experience in managing risk proactively should carefully consider this opportunity when they observe that the general market is positive.

Neil Woodford of Woodford Investment management is the largest shareholder owing nearly 10% of the company, closely followed by Aviva with 8%. All of the large well known asset management houses have a stake in the company, which has a market capitalization of 1.5 billion pounds.
On VectorVest the share is valued at 488p, while trading at around 341p. This easily meets my criteria that the VectorVest valuation/price should be greater than 1.2.
Earnings potential over a window of three years into the future (RV) is on an excellent 1.58 on a scale between o and 2, while earnings safety (RS) is good at 1.19. This is also graduated on a scale between 0 and 2 as are all metrics on VectorVest. In summary, the fundamental position of the company is in great shape.
The trend and technical position is also in great shape, with a VectorVest calculated Relative Timing (RT) of 1.49, plus the share has been on a Buy recommendation since the start of April 2017.
The chart of CSP is shown below using my normal notation. The VectorVest valuation is the green line study above the price, while earnings per share (EPS) is plotted by the blue line study in the window below the price. Over the last year, EPS has risen by 50% and this is the engine that’s driven the share price advance seen over the last three months. The company’s growth would seem far from over, as VectorVest calculates that earnings growth (GRT) will be 30% over the next year.
On the 26th of May 2017 to the middle of June 2017, the share traded within what eagle-eyed technical analysts refer to as a “flag” formation. Over the last few days, the share would seem to have broken from this very bullish pattern and is attacking the 52 week high. The share is on a BUY and looks highly probable to move upwards from here. Remember, I speak of probabilities and not certainties.
The overall UK market is still within a Confirmed Up signal. While the price of the VectorVest Composite has been rising, its momentum (MTI) and its breadth (Buy/Sell) ratio has been falling. This bearish divergence between the price of the VectorVest UK Composite and its momentum and breadth invariably precedes a turn, although the divergence can carry on for many months.
The Primary Wave has been noisy and is also on a BUY as I write. The advice on the front page of VectorVest suggests caution, and that’s good advice.
I have found the checklist below useful in trading. Its conservative and when I tick all the boxes I get very lucky. Please mold it to your own requirements:
- Value/price>= 1.2
- RV>1.3…The bigger the better
- RS>1 (Note conservative investors may wish to increase this)
- Earnings Growth (GRT) above 15% and rising smoothly
- Share is on a BUY recommendation and breaking new highs
- Market is within a C/UP
- The pointer on the Color Guard is in the green.
Summary. CSP looks highly probable for another advance. The share has a solid fundamental and technical outlook and is worthy of your consideration. The biggest danger to the prognosis would be a deterioration in the overall market direction. The latter needs to be carefully monitored on a day by day basis at this stage in the cycle.
Although this share is suitable for my investment objectives, it may not be suitable for you.

Following a solid set of full-year results in February, COA published a trading update on May 17th for the period Jan 1st to April 30th 2017. Group sales rose 5% over the period, driven by a stronger than anticipated performance in the industrial division (up 7%). Overall, COA said it had been a “strong start to the year”, and as a result it expects to deliver 2017 full year results ahead of management’s previous expectations. COA expects to achieve this through initiatives to deliver market share gains and productivity improvements, while maintaining a focus on tight cost control. In addition, COA announced on June 26th that it had reached a settlement with all three of its UK pension schemes. This announcement follows COA’s recent entry to the FTSE 250.
Back on January 18th, the VectorVest stock analysis and portfolio management system flagged the value offered by COA shares across a number of key metrics, resulting in a high score on the VST-Vector (VST) master indicator. The VST indicator ranks every stock in the VectorVest database by calculating the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of Relative Value (RV), RS, and Relative Timing (RT). In January, COA registered a VST rating of 1.45 – excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, and when looking again today, we find the stock still logs a VST of 1.39, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This is due to the improving performance and increase in numbers as illustrated in the results and trading statement. Today COA registers a current Value of 113p per share, and despite having hit our January target of 78p it remains undervalued at its current 76p per share.
The chart of Coats is shown above using my normal notation. The green line study shows the VectorVest valuation while the blue line study shows earnings per share (EPS). The share has is on a Buy recommendation and has recently broken upwards through a previous high.
Summary: The progress made by COA in 2017 is a classic illustration of the unlocking of value within a growth company. Once again VectorVest identified the opportunity back in January when COA traded at 57.5p, but even trading at 76p today, we see a lot more to come given the solid progress as outlined by the trading results, the recent entry into the FTSE250 and the solid technical picture. VectorVest upgrades the price target to 113p and reiterates a buy rating. Please note – although I am holding the share and expect further upside, the share may not be suitable for you.

On June 6th, CAR published FY year results for the year ended 31 March 2017. FY PBT more than doubled to £10.5m (2016: £3.9m) on revenues 16.2% higher at £138.3m. Underlying operating margin increased by 60bps from 8.4% to 9.0%, while EPS rose to 11.5 pence (2016: 3.3 pence). CAR reported a strong order book and momentum into the new financial year, prompting upbeat comments from Chairman Michael Derbyshire: “Having exited the year with record order intake and pipeline, we remain on course to deliver strong improvements in returns over the coming years to our shareholders.”
This exceptionally strong improvement in numbers had already been flagged up by the VectorVest stock screening system as far back as the January trading update. Flags from the system include the VST -Vector master indicator that ranks every stock in the VectorVest database. The VST metric logs CAR at 1.25, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. Also the VectorVest GRT (Earnings Growth Rate), which reflects one to three year forecasted earnings growth in percent per year, currently shows forecasted GRT for CAR of 21.00%, which again VectorVest considers to be excellent. In terms of valuation, VectorVest logs a current rating of 212p per share, indicating CAR is currently undervalued at its current 167p.
The chart of CAR.L is shown above using a weekly candlestick format. As always the green line study above the price charts the VectorVest calculated valuation of the share while the blue line study is the earnings per share (EPS). The share has been consolidating within a five wave ascending triangular formation for the last three years. In this time EPS has grown significantly. The share is on a VectorVest Buy signal and is nearing a breakout of the ascending triangle for the fourth time. Markets normally break on the fourth attempt and with the improved fundamentals a breakout looks highly probable. The technical target from the breakout would be around 240p.
Summary: Regular readers of my articles will note that I am a fan of companies such as Carclo that manufacture a diverse range of fixtures and fittings covering a wide range of industries and applications. Trifast is another similar example discussed here several times previously. Those readers will also note that VectorVest metrics flagged the opportunity at CAR long before the spike higher in the share price that has taken place over the past few weeks. This diversity and impressive growth in cash generation marks out CAR as a quality and enduring investment opportunity, despite the recent share price movement. Buy.
