Future PLC: A Compelling Buy with a Bright OutlookIn the ever-evolving landscape of digital publishing and price comparison, LSE:FUTR Future PLC stands out as a beacon of robust growth and potential. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Bath, the United Kingdom, Future PLC has carved a niche for itself by publishing and distributing content across a spectrum of sectors including games, entertainment, technology, sports, and more. With its shares currently priced at an attractively low point, there’s a strong case to be made for considering Future PLC as a buy trade, with a current buy-in at 700 and ambitious targets of 1,400 and 2,100. Encouraging Performance and Strategic Growth Future PLC's recent first-half trading update has been met with optimism, described by analysts as "encouraging" and "broadly reassuring". The company has demonstrated a return to organic revenue growth, a testament to the effectiveness of its diversified business model that spans Media and Magazine segments. This rebound is particularly notable in its operations such as Go.Compare, B2B, and Magazines, despite the headwinds faced in affiliate products and digital advertising amid macroeconomic uncertainties. The stabilisation in website user trends and the initial progress of the Growth Acceleration Strategy (GAS) underscore the company's adaptive and forward-looking management approach. Analyst Jessica Pok from Panmure Gordon remarked on these developments as positive signs, highlighting the stock's attractive valuation at just 5 times FY25E PE. Valuation and Market Position One cannot overlook the compelling valuation metrics that underscore Future PLC's investment appeal. Currently trading at a PE ratio of just 6.9, the company is significantly undervalued when compared to the peer average of 11.8. This discrepancy not only points to the stock’s anomalously low price but also signals substantial upside potential. Should Future PLC’s PE ratio align with the sector average, the implications for its share price could be profound, elevating it well beyond its current level of 700. Moreover, based on a discounted cash flow model, Future PLC's fair value is estimated at 2,597, suggesting that the shares are currently 73.7% undervalued. This valuation presents a compelling case for the stock as a buy, with the current price offering a substantial margin of safety and an attractive entry point for investors seeking both growth and value. Looking Ahead As Future PLC continues to implement its strategic initiatives under the GAS, there is a keen anticipation of improved performance in affiliate and digital advertising revenues. This improvement, as broker Roddy Davidson at Shore Capital suggests, will be pivotal for a meaningful recovery in share price and for gaining traction across its growth strategies. The digital publishing and price comparison sectors are replete with challenges but also abundant with opportunities. Future PLC, with its diversified portfolio, strategic growth initiatives, and currently undervalued shares, presents an enticing prospect for investors looking to capitalise on these opportunities. Its low PE ratio, compared to peers, and the significant undervaluation based on fair value, all point to Future PLC not just as a stock to watch, but as a compelling buy in today's market. For investors and traders alike, the current valuation of Future PLC offers a rare convergence of growth prospects and value, making it a standout choice in the dynamic and competitive landscape of digital media and financial services.

FTSE making a sustainable rally after bullish break-out.This is an update to our analysis 3 months ago (December 18 2023, see chart below) where we called for a Resistance bullish break-out and buy on the next 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) contact: Even though the pull-back dipped some more, the index still followed our projection on a rough scale. The long-term pattern remains a Channel Up but due to some relative readjustments because of that longer dip, we have to revise our target a little lower to 8150. That represents a +10.40% rise from the dip's lower point but still a 1.382 Fibonacci test (8350) is possible but in our updated view it will take longer to achieve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Will this UK100 dip attract bulls?UK100GBP - 24h expiry Short term bias is mildly bullish. Although the bears are in control, the stalling negative momentum indicates a turnaround is possible. A lower correction is expected. We therefore, prefer to fade into the dip with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back higher. Further upside is expected although we prefer to buy into dips close to the 7640 level. We look to Buy at 7635 (stop at 7605) Our profit targets will be 7710 and 7735 Resistance: 7750 / 7880 / 7950 Support: 7640 / 7560 / 7500 Risk Disclaimer The trade ideas beyond this page are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to trade.

The UK Needs MORE Homes - So Construction Stocks Breakout ?We all know the UK needs more houses, and that the ones already built are waaay unaffordable. The scramble to move house in 2021 corresponded with a big rally for building and construction stocks in 2021, admittedly alongside a lot of other parts of the UK stock market. That rally retraced by exactly 61.8% (Fibonacci) in 2022 and STOPPED FALLING. Since then its been meandering sideways about 100p from 680 to 780. This hasn't bee all that interesting - it's a consolidation period. BUT.. potentially, big players are quietly stepping in - it's what we call accumulation. We think that if UB320 The FTSE 350 Construction and Materials sector closes over 785, then we want to own the top names in that index for a new period of more obvious strength. This sector holds these 7 stocks, ordered by 1 year performance. Kier Group (+67%) CRH (+60%) Genuit Group (+28%) Keller (+4.5%) Ibstock PLC (-1.7%) Balfour Beatty (-9.43%) Marshalls (-12.69%) We like to buy strength. What do you think?

FTSE 100 Big triangle from 2023 breakout and retestOn the Daily chart for FTSE 100, we can observe a massive triangle that was forming in 2023. It started in Februaty and produced a breakout in December. For the past few days the price has been correctign and now it's retesting the resistance of the triangle, now acting as a support. This support is aligning with the 0.382 Fib and the 200 SMA The development on it is very important. If the price provides a reversing indication in the following hours, this can be a nice entry for a trade that can target the previous swing high at around 7750 - 7770 and bossibly higher

FTSE 100 reaches seven month high on softer CPIThe FTSE 100 surged in early trading on Wednesday as the latest inflation figures showed consumer prices had risen less than expected in the last 12 months. Headline CPI came in at 3.9% year-over-year in November, the lowest level in two years. Analysts had been expecting the figure to drop to 4.3% from 4.6%. Core inflation also dropped more than expected to 5.1% from 5.7%. The softer data underpinned expectations for the Bank of England to start cutting rates sometime next year. Before the data and the FOMC’s surprise dovish tilt last week, markets were pricing in the first cut from the BoE sometime in the third quarter of 2024. As of Wednesday morning, the first full 25bps cut is priced in for May, but there are 13bps of easing priced in by March. By year-end, markets anticipate 134bps of easing, which would entail five 25bps cuts in 2024. This seems to contradict the messaging that came from the BoE in their meeting last week. The central bank failed to acknowledge rate cuts, going as far as to reiterate that further rate rises could be possible if needed. Markets failed to believe this, and the Federal Reserve is mostly to blame for that. Their unexpected dovish tilt opened the door for other central banks to welcome talk about easing, but neither the BoE nor the ECB took the bait. Regardless, markets see the Fed’s change in position as the turning point in monetary policy across central banks in developed economies, which means they expect the BoE to follow suit sooner or later. The BoE’s reluctance to show a dovish inclination at their meeting on Thursday last week weighed on UK stocks, especially those most sensitive to rates. The FTSE 100 shed over 1% as the central bank remained firm in its hawkish stance, but Wednesday’s softer CPI data has pushed the index to a seven-month high.
