And I would have tipped it too!!

History of growing earnings and div increases! New share structure makes it easier to bid for......

Looks like a hold and lets see what develops!!

This is now forming a nice support level - nice div - growing earnings - possible takeover target now!

[verynervy] 26/5/2004 15:07

Can anyone tell me why the share price has nose dived?

I have been watching this one for a while now and like the look of it a lot. What has put me off so far is that I have not been able to find any broker forecasts. Does anyone know if there are any and if so where they can be seen. Thanks. Tom

Excellent company that has consistently delivered - not surprising
that the value investor Mr.Beaumont-Dark has taken 3%

Now, with the Dandy shareholding with "investment institutions" and therefore
available to the market and with the "A" share situation dealt with,
GDYO looks like a company that might attract some predatory interest.

I didnt notice that that a director bought 4000 shares.

Anyone think that 14,000 share was a buy ?? Looking like a move up is immenient

[pictureframe] 22/4/2004 09:27

[pictureframe] 20/4/2004 15:19

[pictureframe] 20/4/2004 12:54

looking at the chart it was well and truely on a march upwards...may be a bit bumpy but should see a nice profit on this

According to the March 26 RNS, 1,507,850 shares represent 14.9% of the total enlarged issued share capital. That should give you an idea of the true capitalisation of the company. Don't trust ADVFN's figures.

Is this market cap of just over 6 million correct, surely it cannot be, why are these down nearly 50% with nothing to explain the drop.

[pictureframe] 20/4/2004 09:35

Looks like its found the bottom and has started to bounce

From last results


LONDON (AFX) - Gibbs & Dandy PLC said its 2003 pretax profit rose 14.3 pct
to 4.48 mln stg, driven by a 7.5 pct increase in sales to a record 55.5 mln
combined with strong cost control.
The builders merchant said 2004 has started steadilyand that it will
continue to make progress, with many customers reporting a "healthy" pipeline of
work.
Earnings per share were up 13.4 pct at 37.2p from 32.8p the year earlier.
The company is proposing a final dividend of 8.0p, making total for the year
of 13p per share, up 18 pct on 2002, aside from a special dividend paid in April
2003.
The company said John Dandy is retiring as chairman, and from the board of
the company, and his immediate family shareholdings are being placedwith
investment institutions.
Christopher Roshier has been appointed non-executive chairman, it said.
The company is also giving voting rights to the non-voting 'A' ordinary
shareholders and creating a single class of voting shares to bringits share
structure into line with current practice. 'A' shares will also be entitled to
the final dividend.

voting control over the company, there will be a bonus issue toholders of
existing ordinary shares on the basis of 1 new ordinary share for every existing
share held.
