Stock in Focus: PGG Wrightson (PGW:NZX)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​PGG Wrightson​ shares were higher yesterday after issuing a notice of meeting ​on 23 July ​where shareholders will be asked to back a court-approved scheme of arrangement to allow a 31 cent per share capital distribution.

Assuming the scheme is approved and implemented it is the intention of the Board to shortly thereafter effect a consolidation of PGW’s shares on a 1 for 10 basis, whereby every 10 shares will be consolidated into one shar​e​.

​As we have discussed before, we believe the business fundamentals are still sound, and the business is trading at single digit price to earnings multiple. However, PGW ​will​ now a smaller, more concentrated business which is more heavily impacted by any adverse NZ specific events. 

​We currently have a BUY rating on PGW.
Members should look out for a full update on PGW to be released in our weekly report.
