You can sell for £3.21, what's all that about ?

[jakedog2] 23/11/2017 15:07

You can sell for a 1% premium at 317p.....

[mikemichael2] 23/11/2017 14:48

I don't know what you're going on about, please explain ?

RNS was before market opened, market opened at £3.13 on the offer,what's wrong with that ?

[ingroid] 23/11/2017 14:14

Not impressed with price, all very well announcement stating 27% up etc... but what about the level reached around 377 p before their profit warning! Good prospects and big turnaround taking place , it is a fix and gift to a private equity firm, management must be involved in this . Hope shareholders reject as worth a lot more!

[mikemichael2] 23/11/2017 10:28

Sorry, not sure what you mean, offer price hasn't changed all morning.

[b1ggles] 23/11/2017 10:17

Check the chart and the time of my post, mike!

[mikemichael2] 23/11/2017 10:06

How can the chart budge ? They have accepted £3.13, unless they get a better offer, game over.

[b1ggles] 23/11/2017 08:41

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the offer. Though not as underwhelmed as other posters, by the looks of it; and the chart hasn't even budged!

Which councils have jumped ship? And who's the competitor?

I work as a contractor in the social care business working with the IT systems each authority uses and the word on the street is that they are starting to lose existing social care customers. Two big Authorities have defected to their main rival in the last year. That rival, contrary to the market share graphs on the servelec investor and analysts presentations, already has by far the lion's share of the market. There is not nearly as much new business to go for as Servelec seem to think. The market shares they show are just plain wrong, not difficult to find out. Just employ a telesales guy to ring round the 200 odd councils in Britain and ask what system they have.

Unfortunately the rival company is a privately held company, so not an investment opportunity.

Companies in this business tend to have a life cycle like a roller coaster, they win a lot, reach a plateau then they stop winning and then they start losing some existing customers and then they hit the downhill slope as better suppliers come along. Once that happens it is hard to stop. The good staff leave and it is hard to justify putting investment into a declining business and then more existing customers start to look elsewhere.

Fortunately for Servelec the health market is much more regulated and bureaucratic and companies can get away with old, expensive products and technologies that wouldn't cut it in any other market, so they may be able to milk that for a while.

No idea how they fare in the automation market.

HOW ABOUT THIS ?

[tony baloney] 18/9/2017 11:51

What a volatile share price. Have they won any social care deals this year? I can't see anything positive on the website that isn't pretty old. Health seems to be faring a little better.

mixed half year results. looks like contracts from water companies have only been delayed until they all resolve their 'Open Water' issues. All IMHO.

N+1 Singer re-iterated 325p target price yesterday (Sept 11th).

[mfhmfh] 24/7/2017 11:19

Identified in this weeks Shares magazine as one of three stocks to play the digital healthcare revolution.
'It's been a volatile year for Servelec as it recovered from a challenging UK market for its remote telemetry units, though Glasper (N + I Singer analyst) thinks these problems are behind the company.
Servelec CEO Stubbs is confident the company can take advantage of integrated systems which enable care providers to work together.
Stubbs is also excited about healthcare becoming mobile, as it will allow people to become involved in their own care programme'

This must be one of the weirdest share movers on the stock exchange, look at today's finish for example : bid 295...Offer 304.. price 315 !! Whats all that about ??

[kemche] 05/6/2017 12:34

It is that mad........
:)

[mad foetus] 05/6/2017 12:26

Looking tasty

[tradewithtrend] 01/6/2017 14:57

Starting to look interesting here, through £3 and that will be a nice breakout

[pugugly] 05/5/2017 16:56

Just come across this share : Not impressed by managements attention to detail.

From 06/04/2017 4:31pm UK Regulatory (RNS & others)
"The Group's Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 26 April 2016 at 9.30am, at the offices of Investec, 2 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7QN. "

WRONG YEAR in the rns

If their attention to detail in their contracts has the same level of attention to detail - heaven help the shareholders. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Layabout 6 Mar '17 - 17:40 - 116 of 120 Has probably put his finger correctly on the pulse - Also p/e If ADVFN correct seems far too high. Long term share price graph not encouraging.

[mad foetus] 05/5/2017 16:10
