TOUAX (Parigi: FR0000033003 - notizie) si è quotata sul compartimento B a seguito degli ottimi risultati finanziari
Quotandosi sul compartimento B...
Touax registra ottimo andamento in borsa nel 2007 (capitalizzazione di 156,6 milioni di euro al 31 dicembre 2007), e supera la soglia per entrare nel compartimento B di Euronext Parigi su NYSE EURONEXT.
L'andamento del titolo del gruppo nel 2007 riflette gli ottimi risultati finanziari:
- Nel 2006, il gruppo registra un aumento del 76% dell'utile netto (rispetto al 2005);
- A giugno 2007, l'utile netto aumenta di nuovo del 55% (rispetto a giugno 2006);
- Nel 2007, il Gruppo prevede un ulteriore aumento dell'utile netto di oltre il 40%.
... Touax reaps the benefit of its strategy...
Since 2005, Touax has taken the decision to heavily invest on its own behalf in order to improve its return on equity, These investments selected by a top-class management team made it possible to significantly improve net earnings per share (E1
(017940.KS - notizie) .12 in 2004, E1.40 in 2005, E1.86 in 2006 and already E1.33 at 30 June 2007).
... in markets experiencing very strong structural growth.
The shipping containers leasing business is driven by global trade. Globalisation is increasing global trade at a faster pace than global growth. The needs of emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil continue to increase regardless of the current stock market crisis. In 2008, growth is expected to top 9%, representing a $4 billion increase in the shipping containers market.
Infrastructure needs in Central and Eastern Europe call for ever higher availability of modular buildings. These infrastructure needs are decorrelated from the current stock market crisis. European structural funds for the 2007-2013 period are budgeted at E347 billion. The main beneficiaries are the European Union's eastern members and Poland in particular. Thanks to its Polish operations (Touax is the leader in the Polish market) and its recent set-up in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Touax is the leader in the Czech Republic), the modular buildings leasing business will grow sharply in 2008 and over the coming years.
The general environmental awareness has resulted in calls for clean transportation and in this regard many industrial operators are turning to river and rail transportation. In addition, the new river regulations applicable on the Danube in 2008 will result in the upgrading of a series of competitor river barges causing a fall in overall supply and a concrete increase in rates.
The deregulation of rail freight and the need to replace European railcars is increasingly favouring leasing companies. 800,000 railcars must be renewed over the coming twenty years, representing an investment of over E80 billion. This renewal is a necessity that will not go away as a result of the current stock market crisis.
In 2008, Touax will benefit from its 2007 growth...
The various investments made in 2007 will fully impact in 2008.
and has put in place an investment plan for 2008 that will further improve the Group's profitability.
The Group is planning a series of investments in 2008 across all its business activities, in line with growth in its markets. These investments will result in a further improvement in the Group's return on equity.
The TOUAX Group provides operational leasing of shipping containers, modular buildings, river barges and freight railcars for a global customer base, both for its own account and on behalf of investors.
