  80% confidence

• After a couple of bruising years for the share price, Bunzl investors were handed a steadier, if hardly sparkling, set of results. Management's interventions in North America including leadership changes and cost controls appear to be paying off.

  80% confidence

• The most immediate and tangible development affecting oil markets is the effective halt of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, preventing 15 million barrels per day of crude oil from reaching markets. Unless de-escalation signals emerge swiftly, we expect a significant upward repricing of oil.

• The market will take this as broadly positive for European defense stocks, though any move is likely to be driven more by sentiment than by changes to earnings estimates

  80% confidence

• For the most part, Bunzl remains a well-run if not currently well-regarded stock. The outlook provides little for the bulls to feed on. The market consensus of hold reflects investors' reticence to become involved until a sustained recovery is in evidence.

  80% confidence

• In the current scenario, oil prices over US$100/bbl are possible if transit flows are not re-established quickly. The key question is when do vessels re-establish export flows.
