We design, develop and manufacture the most comprehensive range of plastic piping products in the UK, with over 20,000 products available. Our primary focus is on developing and supporting pragmatic product systems through specific knowledge and understanding of the residential, commercial, civils and infrastructure market sectors. We ensure that customers can trust our significant sales and technical expertise to provide value engineered, fit for purpose piping solutions for the growing diversity and complexity of construction and building technology challenges they face. -

Last year Polypipe generated sales of £301m and adjusted cash profits of £54m, giving an adjusted operating margin of 18 per cent.

Polypipe’s birth as a publicly-listed company comes at a time when the Construction Products Association is estimating that spending on roads, water and sewage, electricity and rail is expected to grow by 8.3 per cent this year, and rising in 2015 by 18.2 per cent. And on the house construction side, output is expected to grow to pre-recession levels some time next year. Given its strong position as the UK’s leading plastic pipe manufacturer, the company could be an interesting one to watch.

No Chris. Building whether it being supplies like this or bricks or the final built product seems over sold. Brick and supply companies seem to be rebounding, we still have a housing shortage.


As we know cannot always go with broker forecasts, but could be a fair upside here.

Interim Result
16 Aug 16 Polypipe Group Plc [PLP]



Proactive Investor - Numis Securities is expecting robust first half results from Polypipe, the manufacturer of plastic piping systems.

It is forecasting underlying earnings (EBIT) of £34.5mln, up from £25.6mln the year before.

“Looking forward, the result of the Brexit referendum has created uncertainty and we therefore believe that current trading and comments on outlook will be of key interest to investors. In line with others, we expect Polypipe to state that there has been no significant Brexit impact to date and that it is too early to reliably estimate the likely implications,” the broker said.

Since 23 June, Polypipe’s share price has fallen 20%, which is double the average fall recorded by sector peers, which Numis attributes to Polypipe’s dicier debt position.

“However, a simple sensitivity analysis suggests that Polypipe could withstand relatively significant volume declines and we would also point to the group’s strong record of cash generation. Based on this, we believe that the fall in Polypipe’s share price since the referendum is overdone,” the broker added.

Stopped out. Straight back in 279p tight stop.

results due tomorrow and currently very strong order book
