500 sales staff generating £35.1M = £70,200 per consultant. Top Consultancies with over 100 people is £158K per head.

good point Jimmy

Perm recruitment -6% - this is the most profitable part of the business so in my eyes it doesn't read well at all.

ED ups estimates and puts share price target at 475p:

[che7win] 02/2/2017 08:20

I'm happy with that, in line and immediately enhancing acquisition. 8.5% dividend too.

[onjohn] 02/2/2017 07:44

might cancel the dividend tho with downturn

[melody9999] 02/2/2017 07:42

earnings enhancing acquisition paid from cash too.

Well TU gives in line and figures still show slight declining LFL sales. Just wonder how much of this is built into the share price. Yield should be fine @ 8.5% and they demonstrated confidence in yield at last results.

Interesting to see if the market likes the TU.

Fine:

"Overview
The Group delivered solid results during a period of some instability in the UK, following the EU referendum on 23 June 2016.
The Group continues to position itself for maximising growth opportunities both in the UK and internationally. Accordingly, whilst the Board continues to monitor uncertainty in the wider economy, we continue to invest selectively in strengthening the business to support its medium and longer term performance.
Having made these investments over the last 12 months, the phasing of planned client projects in the second half of the year and, encouragingly, the improving performance of our IT Division, the Board has confidence that profit for the full year will be in line with its previous expectations.
The Group is now strategically well-placed to take advantage of the convergence between Engineering, IT and Telecoms skill sets and of the opportunities presented by infrastructure investment commitments by the UK and US governments in particular. "

[che7win] 31/1/2017 17:07

Trading update is Thursday.

[kristini2] 31/1/2017 16:54

surprised by the drop ?

[che7win] 31/1/2017 15:43

Hugely disappointing here...so far.

[che7win] 25/1/2017 10:16

Staff line profits triple.

[che7win] 23/1/2017 10:20

One more top up today at 314p.

[che7win] 20/1/2017 13:51

Bought a few times in the last couple of days, the 1500 buy is mine.

[che7win] 19/1/2017 12:28

larva,
yes, I agree with that price target based on ~40p EPS this year and ~42p EPS next year.

7.5% yield here, the business and management prospects are better than market pricing IMHO.

It does have some debt, but manageable, DYOR.

[larva] 19/1/2017 12:17

Fancy seeing you here mate. This is good for 400p

[che7win] 19/1/2017 12:14

I've bought more to add to the 295p ones, think these have now turned.

[ggbarabajagal] 17/1/2017 10:05

Heading northwards

[cwa1] 17/1/2017 08:03

Thanks Sky, would like to say beginner's luck but will have to just settle for luck! Fingers crossed it's not a false dawn though......

[skyship] 16/1/2017 14:38

CWA1 - brilliant timing, well done you...

[davebowler] 16/1/2017 14:31

EMR, Empresaria and Staffline are looking perky.

[spectoacc] 16/1/2017 13:55

A load of blocks went through at 280p I see.

[eddie1980] 16/1/2017 13:44
