Ascential Plc. (ASCL:LN) (AIAPF) PT Lowered to GBP2.55 at CitiThe analyst commented: 'As we approach the end game of Ascential’s process of ‘managed separation’ there are still some significant uncertainties relating to the timing and mechanics of the £850m cash return as well as the potential value of the group’s stake in Hudson MX. In this report, we try to navigate these uncertainties and conclude that there is still decent (20%+) upside potential in the shares, even factoring in a conservative valuation for the core Events activities (10x EV/EBITDA vs. peers and recent transactions at 12x) and Hudson MX (we use the £59.2m book value disclosed at the FY results). On this basis, our 255p PT combined with the anticipated special dividend would suggest a fair value in ‘today’s money’ of 380p per share. Our blue sky scenario, which envisages 12x for the core Events businesses and £100m+ for Hudson MX, would suggest a FV of >450p per share. We are Buyers.'
