Thanks Bracke, guess it may finally stop banging it's head and break through 990 :) now it looks like interest rate hikes will be pushed back (another month?).McjCan't see it will make any difference tbh. AHT were taking market share from URI and Hertz (& others). Hertz have been talking about this split for a few years now I believe (well according to google). Their Rev was nearly half AHT (incl A Plant) for 2015.A bit from the Hertz RNS:Founded in 1965, Herc Holdings Inc., which will operate through its Herc Rentals Inc. subsidiary following the separation, is one of the leading equipment rental suppliers in North America with approximately 280 company-operated branches, of which approximately 270 are in the United States and Canada. Herc Holdings is a full-line equipment-rental supplier in key markets, including commercial and residential construction, industrial and manufacturing, refineries and petrochemicals, civil infrastructure, automotive, government and municipalities, energy, remediation, emergency response, facilities, entertainment and agriculture. The equipment rental business is supported by ProSolutions™, our industry-specific solutions-based services, and our ProContractor Tools™ line, both aimed at helping customers work more efficiently, effectively and safely. Herc Holdings' 2015 total revenues as reported in the recently filed Information Statement, were nearly $1.7 billion. After the spin-off, the company will have approximately 4,600 employees. DD

I notice that Hertz is going to spin off it's plant hire business and that it will be listed from 1July.I wonder what the implications will be for Aht.I believe that Hertz are no 3in USA market,a fair way behind AHT.

You don't need a prediction from me. It's been 'banging its head' against 990 for a week. If the results are as expected I have little doubt it will push straight up through 1000. The only question is how far above 1000.

1025-1060............unless Mrs Yellen says something unpleasant to-day. EDIT - She didn't.

Is Bracke going to make a prediction on the share price, assuming the results are strong ?

Ashtead Group plc announces that its fourth quarter results for the period
ended 30 April 2016 will be announced on Tuesday 14 June 2016.

I suspect the expected US rate rise will be handled calmly by markets who seem to have got used to the idea - and are reacting positively to good news for a change.

Meanwhile, 'on with the Motley'.



Shares in power generator provider Ashtead Group (LSE: AHT) enjoyed a solid sprint higher last month, the stock gaining 8% from the close of April.

Despite this heady ascent, however, I believe the business still provides exceptional value for money, and that the firm’s full-year financials — pencilled in for Tuesday, June 14th — could provide fuel for Ashtead to gain extra ground.

Ashtead advised in April that” the Group has continued to perform well in the fourth quarter of the current financial year and we expect full year results to be towards the top of the range of current analyst expectations.”

As well as benefitting from rising construction activity across the globe, Ashtead’s marque Sunbelt and A-Plant are continuing to relentlessly grab market share across many markets.

It comes as little surprise, then, that the City expects the rental specialist to follow a 28% earnings rise in the period to April 2016, with advances of 12% and 8% in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

These numbers leave Ashtead dealing on mega-low P/E ratios of 11 times and 10.2 times for these years, leaving plenty of scope for further stock value gains in my opinion

The share price didn't quite make it to 1000 but within the zone so no moaning.

The market is having one of its tantrums at the thought of a US interest rate rise.

AHT retracing but unless the market really takes fright 950 should be support.

Good day to you Bracke and thanks for your thoughts.Wouldn't disagree...........apart from "slow moving", not always and not the one I'm watching!.DD

Good day Disco

I pay little attention to illiquid stocks for obvious reasons but as far as I am aware the general principle to gap filling applies ie. to give an opportunity to sell or buy at the gap price.

The problem with illiquid shares is that they are slow moving, shares often held by a few holders and easy to manipulate.

Bracke,Question for you if I can be so bold, are gaps in fairly illiquid stock (AIM as well) less likely to be filled than say blue chip?Thanks in advance.............getting me bloody obsessed with these darn gap thingy's lol.DD

June unless they can find an excuse not to.

Problem is whenever the probability for an increase occurs the market is driven down and the FED backs off.

The market has become addicted to cheap money.

More US record home sales announced today. Highest in a decade.

Coupled with reducing unemployment figures, it looks as though the 'data dependant' Fed will have to take notice.

This month or next?

US new home sales rocketed to an eight year high yesterday. As AHT rent construction equipment to a wide customer range, one would imagine this news might keep the pot bubbling for a while.

The Dow/S&P had a very good day yesterday - these markets seemingly now looking forward to an interest rate rise from the Fed rather than anticipating it with horror.

Good day binliners

I don't analyse charts by 'shapes' but by price action, although I am aware of them

From my understanding of 'cup & handle' I don't think it is a cup and handle. The cup which I think you are referring to has a pointed base, a lopsided lip and a handle lower than the base.

I consider that it's in a rising channel from the low at 750 with resistances along the way and with the current target at 1000.

bracke

I'd like to ask 'our' elite guru if the chart could be in a cup and handle formation or just returning to a rising channel?

Or is it too soon to tell Bracke?

It feels like the trend is now to the up I think.

These are now a solid part of my portfolio.

Good day 2flat

"bracke are you thinking about the 1100 and 1200 resistances yet."
==================================================================

No. Need to see how it deals with 1000 first.

Now that the 'all clear' has sounded, I feel that it is safe to comment without fear of the 'jonah' effect kicking in.....

Well done fp2, good call on the 'Ashtead Friday' as you foresaw, it came good in the end with a healthy rise to end above brackes 955/960 key level.

A great end to a great week!

Is this a good old fashioned Ashtead Friday I see before me.
bracke are you thinking about the 1100 and 1200 resistances yet.
I note we have just moved above the 200day sma which in previous years is where I would have been buying with any cash I could beg borrow or steal what a differance a hedge fund makes.
Sorry about the gibberish guys but it seems a lifetime since we have had a week of good news.
Cheers
