Direct sales is answer.Not waiting on orders but teams and teams of determined sales staff out looking for orders on daily basis ,I've sold here but keeping a close eye on it.Recycled leads also ,multiple chances at selling products.I do think this will climb again once pi realise this wasn't all about green deal it was only part of the setup

I just don't see how entu are going to gain market share anywhere.

If you want an overpriced big national firm for boilers there's British Gas. If you want a good job well done more cheaply there are countless local installers, and it's so easy these days to find one. If you want overpriced double glazing from a national firm with an over-long sales pitch and dodgy "if you sign up now" 50% off offers there's Everest, otherwise there are countless local installers offering a good job at a fair price.

The green deal helped skew the whole thing towards the big boys for a while, but with that disaster finally buried, who's going to buy from Entu companies? Or am I missing something?

TV ad campaign just kicked off for boilers!

It always concerned me that insiders were taking the opportunity of the listing to sell big chunks of their holdings so I guess we know why now. Lots of related party dealings which does make you wonder who management are really working for. Whilst the shares look cheapish, it doesn't look like there is any real growth going on here. The next downturn in the home improvement market and this will be flattened. No balance sheet to talk of.

Re-reading the recent trading update, and the interim results - if they do achieve an operating profit of £8m exc the solar division ENTUs cheap and the divi yield is over 9%. Ratio of Op proft to mkt cap is also cheap at around 4.8.

Guess we'll have to wait for the next trading update to see how they've performed, but considering the last update was issued on the September and they said op profits should be around £8m, and the year end is 31st October you would think this should be accurate.

L2 tells you nothing mctmct, there is no order book. There are just three Market Makers, as per my post 371. Every time there is a 'sell', the MM on the bid then drops the bid. None of them wants to hold stock.

I wonder why the directors are sitting on their hands. A decent show of confidence could create a substantial bounce, because the volumes are so low.

Has anyone here got L2 and visibility of the order book?

Looks like my dive into these was very badly timed. Still going down. I am looking to add at this level, but I will wait a while and see if I can get them even cheaper. With just three MMs, these are likely to bounce about a bit.

Here's the link, but you do need to be a subscriber to read the full article. The summary is as follows:

Entu says it was blindsided by the government, though management now admits the solar division had been in doubt for "four to five months". The company is right to can the operation following the tariff decision, but the disappointment is now likely to weigh on the shares. This said, entu is still very cash-generative, the dividend is well-covered, and expected profits remain respectable. Management says no other products risk subsidy changes. The shares are in a trough at 66p - 45 per cent down on our tip (122p, 12 Mar 2015) - which isn’t a time to crystallise a loss. Hold.

i read it in the magazine itself - not on line - which i have now disposed of. apols.

[barryjoe10] 10/9/2015 14:33

EZ post a link please?

[emeraldzebra] 10/9/2015 08:37

saw quite an encouraging item in 'Investors chronicle' - would hazard a guess we are near to the lowest.

[melody9999] 08/9/2015 22:42

IMV a good move by management to close off at an early stage the loss making solar PV division - tariffs being cut drasticly. Other parts of the business trading in line - so I think definitely oversold here. DYOR

Picked up a few this morning. Just a few, mind. Trying my hand at bottom picking.

hmmh , a sudden change of fortune . The fall looks overdone if the new story unfolds....I've bought in ,if you are already a holder then IMHO its certainly a hold, i would have thought.
We all make mistakes so we need to give people the benefit of doubt.
Lets see if they can get it right.

Will take it a long long while to regain S/H trust. Someone knew before update that bad news was coming too..management credibility..
