Well done Roy Gardner on adding more shares.

I feel the steady incline speaks for itself! I am happy to have my money here.

Well done Goldman Sachs, thanks bundle. With friends like that and the US market, who needs enemies !

Goldman Sachs issues a sell note with a 300p target

Goodness knows what wil happen tomorrow, I would have expected a rise after the predicted pull back today, however Uncle Sam has really tanked. PRetty fed up of this market.

Great day, chart looks well set up to go alot higher, expect to challenge the high around 375-380 in the longer term. Technically we may get a pull back to 340 or a little lower before a run to next resistance level of 356. With some luck there'll be no pull back, but usually there is. So far going to plan, all will be out the window if US has issues, but it's held up well so far. Fingers crossed.

Fantastic day, up 7.5p. With improved close in US from where they were should be good for FTSE tomorrow. A close above 346-348 is what is needed.

yewtrees, very good day given the FTSE performance...good sign for the future. A strong market rallycould set share price on its way.

[yewtrees] 01/3/2008 10:21

nothing needs to be said, the share price steady rise speaks for itself.
i am in and holding long term.

[cobweb] 29/2/2008 21:27

Wow, what a day, incredible CPG only down 0.5% ! PS Is there anyone out there ?

[cobweb] 28/2/2008 17:33

Market 1 - CPG nil, can't beat the market, that said the share price fell to the up trend line, on low volume - so all hope is not lost.

[cobweb] 27/2/2008 23:19

Not a bad day here, chart suggests the share price is set for rise tomorrow....here's hoping !

[cobweb] 26/2/2008 22:41

Uptrend still intact with higher lows, good if close tomorrow is above 340, i ideal if above 343 - we'll see.

[brain smiley] 26/2/2008 12:40

How long can CPG cope with rocketing food inflation - has to hit margins sometime.

I believe Wheat rose something crazy like 35% yesterday.

[cobweb] 25/2/2008 20:22

Textbook move after boucning off uptrend line, well setup for a strong close in coming days above 335 and arun at 348. US tonight will be a help.

[cobweb] 24/2/2008 20:13

Poor day Friday, where to next. Even with the drop, it appears to be holding an uptrend, trying to close and stay above 330-336. Fingers crossed...

[yewtrees] 22/2/2008 19:13

What was the 18million shares sold today in one lump, looks like they were a sell.

[cobweb] 21/2/2008 22:17

Well so much for flying ! Blame the US !

[cobweb] 21/2/2008 10:17

Wow, Ordinary Trade just gone thru for 30m shares Buy ! Can this be for real ? If so, this is going to fly...

[cobweb] 20/2/2008 23:30

New to CPG, what's the view for the share price

Good day today, breakout above 335 suggests a short term move to 345 and maybe onto 355.

[inv] 24/1/2008 11:42

This is moving quickly towards 350p. Exciting stock

The world's largest contract caterer operates in some 90 countries. It also runs coffee shops, vending machines and bakery outlets and is a top pick from Charles Stanley. Compass is beginning a new phase of sustainable value creation i.e. organic revenue growth, improving profit margin and generating significant cash flow.


Given that Compass operates in the foodservice market under long-term contracts, it has a high degree of visibility over its earnings stream. The shares offer a reasonable dividend yield and hopefully, Compass will continue to beat market expectations. Apart from profit growth, the £1bn share buyback will also drive earnings growth of about 23% in 2008, according to experts.
