Investment summary
October’s trading update confirmed the work management has undertaken to transform Sureserve into a smaller, more predictable business has paid off. The performance through the challenges of COVID-19 has demonstrated the resilience of the business. We trimmed our 2020 revenue estimate from £210m to £201m, but the improving margins result in PBT being nudged up from £9.1m to £9.3m. The gradual re-rating of the shares this year suggests investors are starting to buy in to the turnaround and the improving market position.

Industry outlook
Growing corporate and government awareness around safety and energy efficiency creates an attractive backdrop to Sureserve’s compliance and energy services business, where strong regulatory drivers have the potential to deliver substantial medium-term EBITA growth. The management team appointed in July 2016 to reverse the decline in performance is taking bold decisions.
