Autotrader Group up in London as buyback plan and China brands fuel EPS hopes

Autotrader Group up in London as buyback plan and China brands fuel EPS hopes

Autotrader Group climbed in late London trade Monday. Investors got a look at a new buyback filing from the online marketplace. Some fresh numbers on surging Chinese car makers were also in focus as both helped balance slower short-term revenue growth at the company. Autotrader shares changed hands at 484.9 pence, up 1.4%. The FTSE 100 added 0.55%. Monday’s move still leaves Autotrader down about 43% from its 52-week high at 844.4 pence. That’s driven focus on how much capital the company can return and how strong its position remains.

Autotrader Group plc shares held steady in London Monday, last seen at 464.60p, up 0.19%. The FTSE 100 slipped 0.39% to 10,430.62. Autotrader is still far below its 52-week high of 844.40p, trading just above last month’s low of 418.60p. Investors look to buybacks and cash flow as growth stays slow. Autotrader said in a filing it bought back 4,450,626 ordinary shares for cancellation between June 8 and June 12, using Merrill Lynch International. The company paid daily volume-weighted average prices ranging from 459.9453p to 470.8789p. Buybacks reduce the number of shares, which can lift earnings per share if profit stays the same. After these repurchases, Autotrader said it had 799,812,626 ordinary shares outstanding and 795,463,687 total voting rights.
