Carr's Group - Improved FY21 expectations

Carr’s Group has provided an update for the 20-week period ended 17 July 2021, which notes that FY21 performance is expected to be moderately ahead of management expectations. Strong performances from both the Speciality Agriculture and Agricultural Supplies divisions have continued into H221. The H221 Engineering divisional recovery that management expected has been realised, supported by contracts from the nuclear and defence markets, and rising oil and gas prices. We raise our FY21 adjusted PBT estimate by 4.5%, leaving FY22 and FY23 estimates unchanged.
