Yes, underlying trading was stronger than I expected.

[silverfern] 21/1/2015 08:04

Decent enough trading update- any views anyone. I see another year of growth ahead

[silverfern] 08/12/2014 18:40

What, the band? Steve Harley? Meanwhile does anyone know of a reason for the ongoing rise; lots of small buys driving it

[silverfern] 04/12/2014 10:35

threatening to end the year on a high!

[alphabeta4] 24/11/2014 18:43

If I was CR I'd be banging on about bowls here! :)

[silverfern] 21/11/2014 07:15

A push now and I agree 770-800 band - results were fine. All depends on sentiment in the wider market in the run up to Xmas

[alphabeta4] 07/11/2014 20:42

700 resistance broken? Back to 770?

[gco1133a] 04/11/2014 14:07

Looking very strong here ahead of results in a few days. Upside surprise coming?

[silverfern] 07/10/2014 07:43

They very rarely make acquisitions that are not immediately earnings enhancing

[alphabeta4] 06/10/2014 18:52

Quite fancy this at the moment - momentum seems to be with the dollar and Diploma have kept quietly growing their revenue. One to buy and tuck away.

[alphabeta4] 14/8/2014 18:26

Imo suspect the weaker pound to the dollar could lead to a decent rise here. Note the last IMS said the £9m revenue from acquisitions had been more than offset by the pound strengthening.

[gco1133a] 30/7/2014 17:24

Agree, better than I thought it might be and should produce a floor in the price around this level.
I still think currency should have less negative impact in the coming months, and if the recovery gathers pace in the US we could do very well.

[silverfern] 01/7/2014 10:03

Thanks all - I sold as it went down. I'll await published results before deciding on reinvesting

[jeffian] 20/6/2014 22:33

"Can't really see the pound appreciating much from here...."

Well it's possible. If you get continued stagnation in Europe and continued doubts about the sustainability of American recovery topped off by rising interest rates in UK, that's exactly what you'll get.

[gco1133a] 20/6/2014 21:42

Would tend to agree. Can't really see the pound appreciating much from here, but with the investment for growth still feeding through into reduced margins, I see this year a bit sluggish. Next year with easier comparisons could be good.

[jeffian] 20/6/2014 15:32

Well the continuing strength of £ v $ isn't going to help published figures, even if something is only 'lost in translation'. Otherwise, the underlying fundamentals of the business still look good.

[silverfern] 20/6/2014 14:47

any views here?

[alphabeta4] 24/3/2014 18:39

Numis and N+1 Singer keep price targets unchanged at 697.5p and 800p respectively (Hold and Buy).

[jeffian] 24/3/2014 09:44

Yes, I feel sorry for companies which are affected by exchange rate translation. It's a sort of 'double whammy' - if the figures are artificially boosted by weaker Sterling, the market discounts them; if, as now, they are impacted by stronger Sterling, the market hammers them!

Underlying performance seems OK though the only thing that worries me (as previously expressed in #448 etc) is that it is priced for growth and that doesn't sit well with flat profits, for whatever reason.
