Tom Stevenson: Four average investors can protect themselves against the loss of company reputation

"A significant risk for investors, is that companies like BSkyB are not always in control of their own risk" Photo: Reuters

With the news of the world complete editorial staff, investors in the satellite television channel has become innocent victims of a spectacular piece of the mismanagement of crisis - by another company.


They should not have taken to the free, however. Sometimes events come out of the blue but not these. It is act decisively, accept responsibility or in fact one of the things that someone with a life in the newspapers would have understood a minimum five years since the telephone hacking scandal response outbreak, five years during which News International has failed to take control of the story.


As Warren Buffett, it can take to build a reputation for 20 years and only five minutes to ruin it. Reputation risk is one of the greatest threats a company faces and, therefore, one of the most important things for an investor to assess. The problem, however, is that, while it is easy with hindsight to see what damage was done to a reputation, it is much more difficult to measure the extent to which a company is or is not in control of his public image.


There are at least three risks that should take account of the investor. Firstly is the measurement in which customers vote with their feet at the first breath of irregularity. Finally, Rupert Murdoch acted because it has the (correct) judgment that revenues would evaporate - because readers boycott paper and advertisers do not want to be associated with such a tarnished mark.


Arthur Andersen was found to its cost, for a professional, business services, the perception of integrity is the greatest asset of the firm. The accounting firm has grown from four great to annihilation in a blink of eye in 2002 because customers walked. Unfortunately, it is not a mere correlation. At the same time Enron was leaving Andersen history, Shell was shaken by the revelation that it had overestimated its reserves of oil. Today, few would associate Shell with this episode.


Another key for investors risk is that the companies (such as BSkyB) are not always in control of their own risk. Last year, BP has found that when oil ran aground on the beaches, indifferent America if the fault lay with the British company or Transocean, its subcontractor of drilling. BP has paid the price. In the same way Walmart may not have used illegal immigrants as cleaners, or even known about it, but that did not prevent further the Distributor for the forfeiture of its supplier by the Government.


A third risk is political. The Gulf of the Mexico a lot of water and he has recovered from the Deepwater spill with surprising ease. But the political capital to win a reflex ban offshore drilling in America was too tempting for politicians. This meant that the rest of the industry investors spilled BP disaster. This type of collateral damage is common. A striking example of the recent has been the stagnation in all areas of the price of the shares of Chinese companies listed on the U.S. list after a handful of allegations of fraud for large projects such as those launched against Sino Forest, a Chinese lumber company. After all, it is never a rotten Apple is?


Only can do you to protect yourself from this kind of impact reputation? Four things. Firstly and obviously, ensure that you are diverse. A fall 50pc price is a disaster if it is the only one you own. But if the stock is one of the 50 in a portfolio, the damage could hardly be noticed. Second, make sure that you invest in companies which have set the roof while the Sun was shining again. Ten years ago, Coca Cola face banned across Europe after an outbreak of poisoning cases. Less than a year, it is the largest beverage sales in the area again with good will and trust, that he had accumulated over the years. Thirdly, talk to suppliers and customers of the company. The rumours that I wrote about last week can provide an alert vital reputation risks to come.


Finally, walk towards the blow-ups as soon as it is deemed that it is safe to do so. BP has been a great investment for anyone brave enough to look through the crisis.

• J Sainsbury, the supermarket, will report its second-quarter results on Wednesday. The chain is thought to have had a strong quarter, and analysts expect like-for-like sales to have grown by 2pc compared to 1pc over its first quarter. New store growth is expected to accelerate throughout the year. The retailer should benefit from its South East bias, where it has its highest concentration of stores and where the looming Government cuts will have the least impact.

• Greggs, the sausage roll maker, will update the market on recent trading. The retailer said in August that first-half profits had risen by 12.3pc to £18.6m. However, Ken McMeikan, chief executive, warned that the pressure on the trading environment would increase over the second half of the year as the austerity measures kick in.

• Robert Walters will kick off a round of reporting from recruitment companies on Wednesday, as it updates on third-quarter trading.

At its results for the six months to June 30 e_SEmD issued in August – the white-collar recruiter revealed that it had swung back into the black, recording a pre-tax profit of £5.1m compared to a loss of £2.6m last time. Growth had been boosted by increasing demand in Asia.

Recruitment peers Hays and Michael Page will follow with trading updates on Thursday. At its full-year results in August, Hays revealed a slump in pre-tax profits to £29.7m from £151m the previous year, but said the outlook across 90pc of its markets was continuing to improve.

Ahead of the first-quarter trading update, analysts at Panmure Gordon said in a note last week that comparatives from last year were soft, which should lead to progress in Asia Pacific and Europe. Michael Page will update on third-quarter trading. More than 70pc of the recruiter's gross profits came from overseas markets in the first half of the year. At the time of the half-year update, Steve Ingham, chief executive, said an increase in permanent jobs did show a level of confidence in the market.

• Investors in Marks & Spencer should not expect any big strategic statements from new chief executive Marc Bolland this week. Those are going to be unveiled at the retailer's interim results next month. What observers can expect, however, is an update covering the summer months when trading on the high street was volatile due to the patchy summer weather.

• Ted Baker, the clothing retailer, will report its first-half results. Ray Kelvin, the company's founder and chief executive, said in June that sales had been robust over the first half of its year.

Trading in the UK was strong, and sales in its overseas markets were improving.

• Rank's trading statement will be eagerly watched for signs that bingo admissions are stabilising and that its Mecca Full House concept, aimed at a younger generation of players, is delivering decent returns. Any acceleration of the rebranding of Rank's G Casino format is also likely to be welcomed. Credit Suisse expects full-year pre-tax profits of £53.3m.

Dignity Sutton Coldfield (EGM) SIR Terry Leahy, the Tesco chief executive, will oversee his final results at the helm of the UK's biggest supermarket on Tuesday.

He hands over the top job to Phil Clarke in March next year having led the retailer since 1997. It is a tenure that has seen Tesco grow from a largely UK chain to one of the world's biggest retail groups with operations in 14 countries. Analysts expect his last results e_SEmD which will cover the first half of Tesco's financial year e_SEmD to show that sales over the six months to August 28 rose by around 8pc to £30bn while pre-tax profit is expected to be up 3.4pc to £1.6bn.

The retailer's Asian operations will show strong growth, helped over this half by favourable currency movements.

Analysts at broker Jefferies International expect a more "muted" recovery in Central Europe. Tesco's loss-making Fresh & Easy chain in the US is also expected to have remained a drag on profitability. The City expects first half losses of around £80m from the division. Overall, international trading profit is expected to be up 28pc year-on-year. THE Bank of England is expected to keep the base rate at its record low of 0.5pc when the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announces its decision on Thursday.

Policymaker Andrew Sentance is widely predicted to repeat for a fifth month his call for rates to rise, while his fellow MPC member Adam Posen has just come out in favour of more quantitative easing (QE), presenting the possibility of a three-way split on the MPC over how to manage the fragile economic recovery.

Monday's construction data is expected to show growth is slowing after the second-quarter spike following the harsh winter. The next day's services PMI could prove an indicator of the likelihood of QE, if more weak data suggests the recovery is stalling.

Chancellor George Osborne is expected to address the Tory party faithful in Birmingham on Monday, which could offer some policy insights.
