The proof of the pudding, will be there for us to make judgement, of whether we are correct or not, on our eps growth rate, on the 20th.
They will have had 5 and a half months trading,so will have a fair idea what the first 6 months will be like.
Watch for outlook comments.
The current six months of trading (HY2018) I expect to be strong for profit growth. But you have to remember that these figures will include a six monthly contribution from Autosure (no contribution in the comparable half last year) and six months contribution from 'Buy Right' cars (three months contribution in the comparable half last year). So it won't be an 'apples with apples' comparison.
