Edison Initiates Coverage on M Winkworth

Edison's report, Quality brand delivering quality results, discusses the advantages of Winkworth's franchise model, in particular how it limits risk and provides the flexibility to manage underperforming branches.

While Winkworth is heavily weighted to the London property market, with over 80% of revenue generated from its London operations, there has been a steady expansion outside the capital and internationally (most recently India). After a strong 2013, Edison's analysts expect continued market growth and further payback for Winkworth's non-London expansion strategy, as positive operational gearing from rising house sale transactions continues.
