Analyst Comments

Attractive technical set-up with strong rising channel.  Broker Numis says not exposed to new lower pension tax allowances, never having been impacted before. In fact more complexity may be a help. Recent Q3 update showed stronger than expected net cash inflows. 

Consensus is very bullish on the shares, with zero sell ratings. The 12-month broker target is even higher than recent record highs, well above our objective of regaining the current channel ceiling.

Next Event: 4th Quarter New Business Investment, 25 Jan; Final results 28 Feb
