Investment summary
JLG’s trading update for FY19 (released in December 2019) stated that the underlying health of the business remained strong, both in terms of PPP project delivery and ongoing value enhancements and the company believes it remains on track to meet its targets for investment commitments and realisations for the period 2019–21. However, JLG expects negative impacts from the strength in sterling in H2 (£50m – 10p share), a decline in power price forecasts (c £40m – 8p share) and changes in macroeconomic and tax assumptions (c £7m – 1p share) to lead to an FY19 NAV per share ‘before the impact of foreign exchange…to be marginally below market expectations’. Market consensus for NAV per share before the announcement was 355p (Edison: 353p/share). To reflect these trends, we revised our NAV per share for FY19e to 343p.
