The media sector will then come into focus with Aegis (AGS) and Trinity Mirror (TNI) updating investors.

Panmure Gordon has a 'buy' rating on both stocks.

On the former, the broker cites "above-average EPS [earnings per share] growth, a slimlined group asset mix, strong management track record and solid account momentum" as reasons for its positive stance, while stating that the latter should have better shareholder returns given the appointment of a new chairman.

Trinity Mirror

The publisher of The Mirror and The People has suffered the way other print media outlets have in recent years, with increasing numbers of people turning to online sources and ditching the dead tree approach -- I can't remember when I actually last bought a printed newspaper myself.

Profits, along with the share price, crashed, and dividend payments were suspended. But with a belated move towards online news, Trinity Mirror may well have turned the corner. While full-year profits for December 2011 and 2012 will be still way down on pre-trouble times, there's a dividend expected again. And though it'll only be around a tenth of pre-suspension payouts, forecasts suggest 5% for 2011 and 9% for 2012.

Trinity Mirror to Launch Daily Deals Business

Trinity Mirror is launching "happli", a nationwide daily deals business, focused on attracting and retaining loyal, long-term customers for retailers.

The launch is supported by a £10 million investment over the next two years with the business forecast to deliver net revenues of around £20 million by 2014.

The deals business represents a good strategic fit for the Group, focusing on delivering simple, high value, local and national deals directly to customers.

The sector is an increasingly important area in selling marketing solutions to small and medium size enterprises (SME). Strengthening our relationships with SME advertisers through the provision of a diversified range of digital products and services is a core strategic imperative for Trinity Mirror.

SORRY BUT THE TECHNICALS LOOK TERRIBLE
HERE AND CAN ONLY SEE THIS DROPPING
FURTHER.

Trinity Mirror is just about the cheapest company on the market on prospective and historical P/E and price-to-cash-flow. At 28p, brokers' expectations for the current year place the shares on a P/E of 1.2! But net debt of £221m makes the P/E more like 4.9 against enterprise value.

Trinity publishes five national newspapers (including the Daily Mirror, of course), over 130 regionals and over 500 digital products for advertising and so on.

Trinity managed to reduce its debt last year by almost £45m due to strong cash flow. Also, the group's freehold property currently valued at £177m may be worth more in practice. If you think newspapers have a viable future, Trinity looks too cheap.

Good rise today it did look to cheap.

for the 26 weeks ended 1 July 2012



Key Highlights



Commenting on the results for the half year, David Grigson, Chairman, Trinity Mirror plc, said:



· Operating profit (1) up 11.5% to £52.5 million and earnings per share (1) up 23.7% to 14.6 pence

"We have increased operating profit and earnings per share despite a revenue decline of 4.0% to £356.0 million due to the difficult economic environment."



· Continued focus on profitability of our core print assets while investing for growth

"We increased the profitability of our core print assets and we are continuing to invest in the technology led transformation of our publishing capabilities and in new products and services across multiple digital channels."



· Strong cash generation and a reduction in net debt (2)

"Operating cash flow remains strong with net debt reduced by £40.3 million to £180.9 million since the year end. We made a repayment of £69.7 million of maturing private placement loan notes and our leverage (3) continues to fall rapidly from 2.3 times at December 2009 to 1.3 times at June 2012."



· Outlook

"Although the trading environment is expected to remain difficult, the Board anticipates that through strong operational management and the benefit of a fall in newsprint prices for the second half, we will deliver an outcome for 2012 which will be ahead of current expectations."

UP 20%, one I have read right for once. :-))

Cashed in.
