HSBC appoints Rothschild bankers to sell Barclay family's ArrowXL
Bankers at Rothschild have been hired to sell off the logistics company seized from the Barclay family by HSBC. Rothschild has been appointed to find a buyer for ArrowXL to deliver a payout for HSBC after it pushed the delivery group's parent company into administration last year. ArrowXL is one of two logistics operations built up by the Barclay family as part of a corporate empire spanning hospitality, retail and media. The group is run through a solvent operating company and it will be sold to help to pay back debt of £143.5 million owed to HSBC, the largest secured creditor of its insolvent parent company, Logistics Group Limited. HSBC appointed administrators to take control of Logistics Group as the Barclay family was being chased by lenders across its portfolio of corporate assets. Lloyds Bank seized The Telegraph and The Spectator and put the media outlets up for sale in summer 2023. Yodel, the other logistics outfit seized from the Barclay family, has been sold to InPost, a Polish delivery group. InPost owns a network of thousands of lockers and drop-off points for parcels across Europe and it runs a home delivery service. The group was founded by Rafal Brzoska, a Polish billionaire, who said the deal would help with his company's expansion in the UK. Lloyds had been pursuing the Barclay empire for many years to secure repayment of lending totalling £1.2 billion. The Barclay family was able to satisfy the repayment in full by refinancing the debt with funding from Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan. Sheikh Mansour had been hoping to convert the debt secured against The Telegraph and The Spectator into equity to take control of some of the most prized media publications in the UK. The transaction ran aground when ministers blocked the deal over concerns of the sheikh's status as a leading politician in the Middle East. He is a prominent businessman and also the deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, a country that has faced criticism for its poor record on press freedoms. Rothschild declined to comment. HSBC did not respond to a request for comment.

InPost S.A. Just Missed Earnings - But Analysts Have Updated Their Models
InPost S.A. (AMS:INPST) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 4.9% to €15.09 in the week after its latest quarterly results. Revenue of zł3.0b surpassed estimates by 2.2%, although statutory earnings per share missed badly, coming in 40% below expectations at zł0.37 per share. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on InPost after the latest results. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from InPost's 13 analysts is for revenues of zł13.5b in 2025. This reflects a notable 18% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to surge 33% to zł3.15. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of zł13.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of zł3.26 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a minor downgrade to their earnings per share forecasts. View our latest analysis for InPost The consensus price target held steady at €18.92, with the analysts seemingly voting that their lower forecast earnings are not expected to lead to a lower stock price in the foreseeable future. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic InPost analyst has a price target of €21.94 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €13.63. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that InPost is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions. Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 25% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 23% annual growth over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 6.5% per year. So it's pretty clear that InPost is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry. The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €18.92, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets. With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year.

InPost and ASOS launch nationwide next-day locker delivery in UK
InPost, a provider of automated parcel machine services, has collaborated with UK online fashion retailer ASOS to introduce nationwide next-day delivery service to lockers. This partnership enables ASOS shoppers to opt for next-day delivery to InPost lockers during the checkout process, enhancing shopping experience with increased speed and convenience. This service is available to all ASOS customers, while ASOS Premier customers can avail at no additional cost. ASOS delivery solutions director David Flavell was quoted by Post & Parcel as saying: 'We know that customers come to ASOS for the latest fashion when they want it. Adding InPost's extensive network of over 16,000 lockers and parcel shops to our offering, with a next day delivery, gives customers even more choice and convenience in how they get the fashion they love. We're delighted to have InPost as our exclusive locker partner.' According to Reuters, the introduction of the D+1 delivery service offers InPost extensive network of parcel lockers and Pick Up Drop Off points across the UK, totalling 12,800 locations. InPost UK CEO Neil Kuschel said: 'This launch is a game changer for out-of-home delivery in the UK. By introducing the first nationwide next-day locker service, we're setting a new standard for delivery. ASOS is the perfect partner to launch with - a brand that shares our commitment to innovation and putting customers first.' The partnership comes on the heels of InPost's strategic acquisition of Yodel, a British courier company, last month. This move not only expanded InPost's market share in the UK to 8% but also established it as the third e-commerce logistics carrier in the country. This acquisition also expedites InPost's expansion within the UK market by five years, Reuters added. The company projects an increase in annual parcel volumes to approximately 300 million and broaden its seller base instantly to over 700 online retailers. In October last year, InPost UK acquired Menzies Distribution, a logistics provider based in the UK. Last June, InPost expanded its partnership with Co-op, tripling the number of parcel lockers at the food retailer's stores in the UK.
