Question 1

What four themes does Shore Capital’s recent Trainline commentary centre on?

Accepted Answer

It centres on regulatory overhang versus evidence, fee presentation (upfront vs drip pricing), valuation sensitivity to downside assumptions, and business fundamentals despite scrutiny (technology, customers, international expansion, and low valuation).

Question 2

What did Shore Capital say about Hilton Food Group ahead of its interim results on 3 September?

Accepted Answer

In a 3 September preview note before Hilton Food Group’s interim results, Shore Capital rated the stock a House Stock, saying resilience in Hilton’s core meat and convenience activities should offset pressures in its seafood and SVV businesses.

Question 3

How does Shore Capital describe the CMA investigation into Trainline?

Question 4

What was Shore Capital’s recommendation and price target for Trainline after the CMA probe sell-off?

Shore Capital reiterated a Buy rating on Trainline and set a 400p price target after the shares fell about 19% since the CMA probe was announced.

Question 5

What profit-before-tax range did Shore Capital expect for Hilton Food Group in relation to its £60m–£65m guidance?

Accepted Answer

Shore Capital said full-year expectations were “very well underpinned” and that adjusted profit before tax could land at the upper end of Hilton’s £60m–£65m guidance range (excluding the Dalco disposal).

Question 6

What focus did Shore Capital say the CMA investigation into Trainline was on?

Accepted Answer

Shore Capital said the CMA inquiry focuses on whether mandatory fees appear in the upfront price or emerge later as “drip pricing,” not on whether fees exist.
