Thanks. I bought in last year but sold last month.
I feel it needs a div to spark serious buying

Petewy - debt might be up but so too is pretax profit - ratio 3:1 which is fine by me. When I first bought two years ago the ratio was 6:1 but I liked the the CEO's upbeat statement.

Debt is up:
Net Debt £66.3 million £54.4 million +£11.9m
Profit before tax £21.4 million £11.0 million +94.0%

Another solid set of numbers...steady as she goes!

Woodford adding I suspect...we'll soon see.

They must have been placed with institutions. If so it indicates an appetite for the stock.

32million shares sold today?

Further to my comment on 155 about Holcim/Lafarge potential merger it appears the Irish may have hijacked the situation as CRH look like front runners. Not sure how they can afford it.

Good find.

For interest:

[linhur] 23/1/2015 11:56

Perhaps the long expected Competition & Markets enquiry into the merger between Holcim and Lafarge/Tarmac is coming to a conclusion? Might allow a few titbits to drop off the table?

Anyone know what these high value trades are all about in the last two days?

[redartbmud] 05/1/2015 21:54

Break upwards in the Sp is long overdue.

[gargoyle2] 05/1/2015 09:24

Looking really strong today. Buyers at 48p now.

[konkel] 30/12/2014 15:39

Sunday Times apparently...didn't see it myself but presumably it was bullish!

[gargoyle2] 29/12/2014 08:35

Tipped somewhere? Looking strong early doors.

[elmfield] 02/12/2014 16:08

I agree, good move.

[curriedquaker] 02/12/2014 12:57

Good to see Neil Woodford (Woodford Investment Management) add another 50m shares today to take his holdings up to 138m. Invesco also topping up. Long term view looks good especially as we will get more road building in the Autumn Statement tomorrow. Going to buy some more and lock away for a year or two. dyor

Its all in the price.

[redartbmud] 05/11/2014 19:06

The shares were obviously placed, and at a price not too far from current trading levels. It indicates that, currently, there is a healthy market for largish slugs of shares when they appear. If the company is to grow quickly, then it will need to issue paper on a regular basis. My decision is whether to continue to accumulate, or whether I accept that my investment is diluted.
