Really good interim results from Vertu Motors today.
It looks like they are successfully grabbing market share from larger rivals.
Gearing is modest, cash flow great. You don't giet a dividend at the moment but surley rivals will have to cut theirs
Decent commentary at www.investorschampion.com with peer group comparison

This company trades under the name of Bristol Street motors, has net debt of only £3.5m & up to march '09 has produced a slender profit when all others in the same field are taking heavy losses.

Buy/ Hold recommendation from Growth Company Investor

...The key risk to Vertu's future profitability is the recession. Rising unemployment and depressed consumer confidence have seen consumers cut back on discretionary spending with expensive purchases such as cars being particularly affected. Other external threats to sales come from legislation mandating higher vehicle taxes or a sustained increase in the price of fuel, which would also put people off private transport...UK-Analyst.com

Undervalued automotive retailer Vertu is a buy on market share gains and an upside from acquisitions. The automotive firm is growing fast while the rest of the industry is in a downturn. The company trades on a grudging price/earnings multiple of 9.5 and unwarranted discount to its property assets

UK car production rises on back of strong domestic demand

Thu, 24 October 2013


UK car production jumped 9.9 per cent to 140,888 in September, a report from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) revealed.

Car production for the 12 months to September reached 1.5m, the highest rolling 12-month total since October 2008, the report said.

Total output for 2013 so far has hit 1.12m.

Strong UK demand helped boost growth as exports climbed 9.3% last month.

“Boosted by strong domestic demand, September’s 9.9% rise in car manufacturing reinforces how the sector is one of the UK’s biggest success stories of recent years,” said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive.

“This year alone, more than £2.6bn has been committed across the UK automotive sector, from the supply chain to global car manufacturing brands. This long-term financial commitment and robust demand for UK-built products demonstrate the global appetite for high-quality, desirable products borne of the UK’s world-class design, R&D and engineering.”

VTU moving up nicely at the start.
