What made Nine Entertainment, Slater and Gordon and Independence Group move up?

 
Nine Entertainment Co Holdings Ltd


NEC Details
  • Agreement with Southern Cross: Nine Entertainment Co Holdings Ltd (ASX: NEC) surged over 3.5% on May 02, 2016 as the group signed a new regional television affiliation agreement with Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) (ASX: SXL) on April 29, 2016. This is a five year agreement which would enable SCA broadcast Nine’s metropolitan free-to-air television content into regional Queensland, Southern NSW as well as into Victoria. NEC plunged over 26.1% (as of April 29, 2016) in the last four weeks on the back of declining FTA market impact on its performance. But with this agreement, SCA channels would deliver Nine’s branding as well as broadcast its premium Australian and international content including The Voice and The Block, all NRL and Cricket broadcasts, boosting Nine brand across metropolitan and major regional markets. SCA would pay the group an affiliation fee of 50% of its television revenue.
  • Recommendation: Having an outstanding dividend yield, we believe that investors need to leverage the correction and “HOLD” the stock at the current price of $1.17
 
Slater & Gordon Limited

 
 

SGH Details
  • Bank Facility Amendments: Slater & Gordon Limited (ASX: SGH) made a gap up opening and recovered a whopping of 100% on May 02, 2016 after the group updated that they agreed with its lenders amendments to the terms of its present Syndicated Facility Agreement and executed documentation. Management continued its facility limits as well as maturity profile which offers capacity and a clear runway to execute its performance improvement efforts ahead of its nearest maturity and refinancing in May 2018. SGH has a strong dividend yield given its heavy decline of 89.07% (as of April 29, 2016) in the last six months.
  • Recommendation: We give a “HOLD” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $0.59
 
Independence Group NL


IGO Details
  • Strong March quarter performance: Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) continued its rally on May 02, 2016 and delivered returns of 4.9% given its positive March quarter results.

  • Recommendation: We maintain our “Buy” stance on IGO at the current price of $3.21
