Market share gains continue

4imprint’s interim results show that it continues to make steady progress building market share in the large and fragmented US market for promotional goods. H117 revenue growth of 11% compares to a market estimated to be growing in line with GDP at 2-3%, with the increase coming from both existing and newly recruited customers. Marketing spend, the key growth lever, is more heavily weighted to H2 this year and our revenue forecast is edged up, with a slightly higher tax charge leaving EPS unchanged. The group has good cash generation, a net cash position on the balance sheet and a growing dividend, underpinning the rating.
