Moving ahead steadily. Should reach 240 - 250 before pausing for breath.

Tipped in IC on line today and no doubt in the mag tomorrow. 2013 full year figures will not excite due to additional costs from capacity building and some on-off items, but growth will resume in 2014.

Share price making slow but steady progress again. Perhaps we will get some good news with the interims at the end of the month. Things are picking up in the economy, so hopefully CTR will not miss out. A run up to 250 would be most welcome.

[puku] 05/7/2013 12:21

another weak period for no particular reason ?

[lord gnome] 08/5/2013 07:21

'Steady as she goes' IMS. Making slow but steady progress, so nothing to scare the markets. Nothing to inspire, either. Back to sleep then.

[lord gnome] 05/4/2013 18:53

Back down to support level on a dark red day in the markets. One day I will learn to trade and take my profits before the market takes them back again.

I.C.-Professional services specialist Charles Taylor (CTR) managed to turn in a creditable performance for 2012 considering the difficult economic conditions with revenues edging up to £108.2m and profits remaining flat. Buy.

[battlebus2] 20/3/2013 07:34

lol. Back to bed then.

[lord gnome] 20/3/2013 07:14

A decent set of results, but nothing to set the world on fire. PE of around 10 depending on which set of figures you prefer and a yield of 5.5% is about as average as you can get. Immediate outlook seems to be 'steady as she goes'. Yawn..... a hold at best.

[puku] 08/2/2013 14:32

a bit baffled at lack of interest in these.Followed them for a couple of years and now bought in, as their medium term plans come to fruition.

[lord gnome] 03/8/2012 14:40

Share price continues to pick up :-))

[lord gnome] 24/7/2012 21:02

A million shares finding new homes today. All today's 'sells' were two trades of half a million shares going through the market at the bid price.

[wallywoo] 23/3/2012 10:01

maybe waiting to see if the directors will back up some bullish comments on the future with a few share purchases.

[lord gnome] 23/3/2012 08:38

I'm surprised the market's reaction is so grudging. This now looks undervalued at the current price and any bid prospects are thrown in for free.

[soi] 23/3/2012 08:00

It does sound positive going forward, stated their intentions for the future.
Good yield and I may also add if share price drops.

[wallywoo] 23/3/2012 07:42

Agreed LG, surprised that the divi is so high, when they reduced it at the half year. All in all a good steady income stock.

Only worry is the £10m increase in retirement obligation to the pension fund, but hopefully not bad enough to spook the market

[lord gnome] 23/3/2012 07:34

Nothing to scare the horses in this set of results. Dividend is secure. Borrowings coming down. Positive outlook statement. Talk of clear positive growth strategy. All looks good to me. Happy to hold and will add if there is any weakness.

[lord gnome] 25/1/2012 13:37

A contested bid - I dream of contested bids. Bring it on. Great spot wallywoo.

[lord gnome] 23/1/2012 07:34

'fraid so simon. I don't have any fears for the divi though. If cash is under control and debts are coming down, then the well-covered divi should be secure. I can sweat this one out until it comes good.

[simon gordon] 23/1/2012 07:09

One bad RNS after another.

[soi] 31/10/2011 15:06

Yes, doesn`t sound too good, wish I hadn`t bought them but provided the divis continue that will have to be compensation.

[lord gnome] 31/10/2011 08:16

A somewhat downbeat IMS this morning. Steady as she goes, but profits likely to be down a bit. Hardly likely to put any fizz into the share price Ho hum. Let's hope the divi comes in as expected because that's the only possible reason to hold.

[wjccghcc] 19/8/2011 14:40

Fair enough. Didn't see that bit. Thanks.

[speedsgh] 19/8/2011 08:24

@WJCCGHCC - from the interims rns yesterday...

"Dividends
The proposed interim dividend of 3.25 pence (2010 - 5.54 pence) reflects our decision to re-base the dividend, as announced in March 2011. It is our intention to continue to maintain a dividend payment pattern in the region of one third at the interim stage and two thirds as a final dividend."

If they were to only pay a final dividend of 4.46p again, giving a total of 7.71p, the current interim payment would amount to 42% of the full dividend which is somewhat different to one third suggested in the above statement. Admittedly the phrase 'in the region of' does give them wiggle room depending on performance in the meantime. It'll probably end up somewhere in between e.g. total dividend of 8.75p.
