Mid-week Tip
Braemar Shipping Services (LSE: BSM) 248.5p . It is a shipbroker and provider of other services to the shipping sector and increasing shipping costs are helping to contribute to inflation, but are good news for BSM. It has already confirmed that its first half trading was strong. Braemar is adding to the services it can offer clients and hopes to build its presence in the US and grow the European offices. The Cory Brothers logistics subsidiary is planning a joint venture with Vertom Agencies, which means that Braemar will receive a minority stake in a much larger European business. This deal should be finalised before February 2022, and it means that Braemar can focus on its core businesses. All three divisions should perform better this year and finnCap, the broker, forecasts a recovery in pre-tax profit from £9.9m to £11.3m this year giving a prospective P/E of 11x The dividend could be raised from 5p a share to 5.7p a share, providing a 2.2% yield. Profit and dividend are expected to continue to grow. Buy to take advantage of the upturn in the shipping industry.
