    Is the glass half full, or half empty...or perish the thought, simply half a glass no matter how you look at it ! (i.e. just an average company with average prospects)
    Cheap, or cheap for a reason ?

    At least TRA share price didn’t go down today like a lot of stocks

    Headline from todays interim report
    "Turners delivered a 28% increase in profit in the first half of the 2019 financial year, despite some challenges in the automotive retail sector. The result was driven by a consistent performance across all sectors, and the benefit of a $3.4m gain on a property sale.”

    Now to delve into the detail.

    Outlook (look for the clue that shows Percy must be on a retainer for helping them write their reports)

    “The investments we are making into training and development, fintech, product innovation and the customer experience will deliver further benefits in the second half.

    We are expecting to see a continued positive performance from insurance and an improving performance from finance as we reposition our lending profile.

    However, we are cognisant of the current challenges in the automotive retail market which have carried through into the second half of the financial year. If these continue, they could impact our NPBT guidance of $34m to $36m by up to 10%.

    We remain confident in our strategy and long term prospects. New Zealand’s aging fleet will see hundreds of thousands of cars needing replacement over the next decade and we are well positioned to meet this need.

    In addition, the challenging conditions will inevitably lead to consolidation in the dealer market which will provide Turners with further opportunity in the medium term, as we focus on building market share.

    There will always be a need for a trusted business like Turners which can provide multiple channels for customers to buy and sell vehicles. We are able to offer all the add-ons that customers are looking for – finance, insurance and auto care services.”

    Hmm - did anybody notice anything new in this report (but the more detailled financials)? It just seems to reiterate the exact statements made at the time of the HY results in November 2018.

    A bit sad that they don't even seem to make a comment on the performance of Q3 (at least I didn't find any). Come on guys, we are now in Q4 and even if they haven't yet completed the numbers for Q3 they for sure would know which direction the sales and margins went ...

    They kind of did when they said the current automotive challenges have carried through to the second half of the year. So that addresses Q3 and we await Q4
