YouGov (LON:YOU) - Maiden dividend declared
Oct 24th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on YouGov (YOU.L, LSE:YOU, LON:YOU) entitled "Maiden Dividend Declared". In summary, the report says:
YouGov’s prelims were in line with market expectations, building on the management team’s record for delivering. The growing proportion of revenues derived from the innovative online data products and services should deliver top-line growth and further margin improvements. The medium-term target is for these to represent 50% of revenues. The group has a strong balance sheet and is continuing to invest in building the product suite, panel and the geographic exposure, as well as declaring a maiden dividend. The rating has improved and is no longer at a discount to its peers.
