WYG - Focusing on earnings recovery and cash

WYG faced a number of challenges in FY18 but ended the year with an improved market backdrop, higher divisional order books and benefits from management actions starting to come through. Guidance and our profit estimates are unchanged. With greater business stability and a focus on margins and cash generation (plus receding legacy issues) investors will be able to concentrate on the earnings recovery story. This may be partly discounted following a recent share price pick up, but in the context of historic earnings levels there is more to go for.
