MSLH: Future Margin Gains And New Leadership Will Support Bullish Outlook

Analysts have revised their price target for Marshalls to £2.43 from £2.89, reflecting updated views on slightly softer revenue growth assumptions, a marginally higher discount rate and a lower expected future P/E multiple, partly offset by a modest increase in projected profit margins. What's in the News The board proposes a total dividend payout of 6.7 pence per share for 2025, compared with 8.0 pence for 2024, representing a 16.3% reduction driven by weaker profitability.

RHIM: Future Returns Will Depend On Earnings Quality And P/E Sustainability

Analysts have nudged their price target for RHI Magnesita up by £2.00 to £38.50, citing revised assumptions for the discount rate, profitability, and future P/E expectations as the main drivers of this change. Analyst Commentary The revised £38.50 price target reflects updated assumptions on discount rates, profitability, and future P/E levels, but it does not signal a unanimous view that the risk profile is low.
