Cello Health Group (CLL): Strong start to the year

Key data                              

  • Share price (p): 119.5
  • Target price (p): 145.0
  • Market cap (£m): 123.5
  • Enterprise value (£m): 121.9

In a positive AGM statement, Cello has confirmed that the group has had a strong start to the year and this looks set to continue into Q2 based on current visibility. Cello Health had a robust Q1 with good sales growth and profit performance and Cello Signal has achieved a solid operating performance aided by last year’s restructuring in the US, and has a good pipeline of future opportunities in health. Cash conversion has been good and the balance sheet remains strong. Cello has developed a strong, core lead integrated global healthcare marketing services brand, creating a breadth and quality of service that others will struggle to provide under their disparate corporate structures. Cello has to prove the benefits of this move, but with net cash and the potential to also leverage its digital expertise into health, there is clear opportunity to create significant value.
