Scaling up for global growth

SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner's (SNP) results indicated that the business environment remains healthy. The group has a strong balance sheet with net cash, boosted by the €30m capital increase last year, and has raised additional €40m in loan notes to build a war chest to make additional acquisitions. We have edged up revenue forecasts, but eased profits, to reflect the increased costs as it positions for the next phase of its growth. Given SNP’s strong market position in software-based transformation projects and assuming a sustained high level of activity, we believe the shares remain attractive on c 21x our cash-adjusted FY19 EPS.
