Hangar 8 Share Discussion Threads

So this week results are due but no firm date following 1st July statement:

"Hangar8 (AIM: HGR8), one of Europe's largest operators of privately owned passenger Jet aircraft, today provides the following update on trading for the year ended 30 June 2014, ahead of its preliminary results which are expected to be announced by the end of October 2014."

The icing will be a 2.3p dividend.

Nice 5k buy at 324p late yesterday afternoon. The rise yesterday was on decent volumes by HGR8's standards, indicating continuing demand for the shares.

Given 30p EPS forecast for this year, plus a healthy cash pile, I too hope to see 400p here given a decent forward outlook in the upcoming results. And perhaps more if expectations are raised.

[goliard] 22/10/2014 15:45

In the last few weeks we have seen 320p on the bid several times, but we just can't break that. Big moves are the norm here because there isn't a lot of free stock and we had exactly the same thing at 260p. Hoping to see 400p within a few weeks of the results and then reassess where it might go.

A lot of small buys all of a sudden indicates someone has seen a positive last 4 months trading statement and positive fwd statement. only 7 trading days left to announce. IMHO

[gorilla36] 22/10/2014 14:47

Good rise into results perhaps?

[igoe104] 22/10/2014 09:13

Good to see the oil price continue to drop, it can only be good news for hgr8.

[igoe104] 20/10/2014 11:41

MM`s will do anything too un-settle holders this time of year, especially when they are short of stock, and expected good results are around the corner.

[nashwan123] 20/10/2014 11:21

Not sure why price dropped and noticed 2 of my Buys from Friday just showed up at 10:20 but not as delayed! Heyho.

[twirl] 17/10/2014 19:56

Agreed. Looking fwd to results at the end of month which we know are great with maiden divi but we need to see statement of last 4 months trading and future prospects which will more or less pencil in H1.

[nashwan123] 17/10/2014 15:54

Have had this company on the radar no pun intended for too long. Put my toe in water with small purchase of 5500 shares but not all trades showing yet. A profitable company with few shares in issue to tuck away.

[rivaldo] 16/10/2014 08:15

Nice £5k buy just through at 310p, 4p above the published 306p offer price :o))

Stock must be hard to find.

[rivaldo] 12/10/2014 07:41

Latest forecasts are indeed 20p historic EPS and 30p EPS for this year to 30/6/15:

[adamb1978] 11/10/2014 16:19

What are people on here expecting for HGR8's EPS for FY14 and FY15? TMF is showing 20p for Fy14 and 30p for 2015. Another source which I have access to gives 20.2p for Jun-14 and 24.9p for Jun-15
Cheers

I lurk too, not too much to say at the moment, nice little company seems well managed, like the share price trend of late!

[par555] 06/10/2014 15:45

rivaldo,

Agree, been in for a while,lurking and quietly adding.

[rivaldo] 06/10/2014 14:39

Cheers igoe.

Bit of an exclusive club of investors here :o)) It's often the quietest threads which are the best performers.

[igoe104] 06/10/2014 13:55

I Bet naked trader, regretting selling this one ?

[igoe104] 06/10/2014 10:19

Great point about the oil price rivaldo.

This is looking very strong now.

[rivaldo] 05/10/2014 08:01

As well as the above, there are further reasons to be positive about HGR8:

- the oil price has collapsed over the last couple of months. Fuel costs are just about the largest cost for any aeroplane, so this should greatly benefit HGR8

- it's been said before that a small increase in charter hours per aircraft per month would make a big difference to HGR8's profits, particularly as the costs of servicing charter are very low. There are a number of recent articles suggesting that the nascent recovery in the charter market is gathering momentum, for example here:



- the recent strikes at Air France and Lufthansa may also have helped HGR8 to a smaller extent

[rivaldo] 03/10/2014 08:29

...and more buying at well over 300p - new highs now.

I wonder if HGR8's aeromedical services in Africa are booming due to the Ebola epidemic?

Final results are due soon as well of course and should be very good given the trading statement.

[rivaldo] 22/9/2014 09:55

Buying coming in at 301.26p now - new highs?

[igoe104] 19/9/2014 14:21

I`LL BE Glad to get into oct/nov/dec I always find aug-sept a very strange period for shares. I can only see good news regarding hrg8.

[rivaldo] 19/9/2014 13:59

A nice burst of sudden buying by HGR8's normally quiet standards. The only trigger I can see (apart from the above article) is the upcoming final results.

[rivaldo] 17/9/2014 06:50

HGR8 have put this up on their web site:



"Dramatic increase in sale of £5 million plus properties fuels demand for private jets
Sep 16, 2014"

"New analysis(1) from Hangar8 Aviation, the UK-listed global aviation management and charter company, has revealed that sales of London based £5m-plus properties in 2013 increased by 28 percent on the previous year, and it believes this is fuelling demand for private jets because many of these sales are going to overseas buyers.

Looking at prime central London property sales of £10 million or more between October 2012 and October 2013, for example, only around 38% went to UK nationals, with 18% going to Russians and CIS citizens, 15% to people from the Middle East, and 15% to Europeans.(2)

Hangar8 Avation’s analysis(3) reveals that the number of business flights into London’s busiest business airports(4) increased by 6% in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013, which equates to around an extra 300 flights. It estimates that there are now around 172 heavy private jets registered in the UK, which is 15% of the total in Europe. Some 65 were delivered between 2009 and 2013.

Dustin Dryden, Chief Executive Officer of Hangar8 plc, said: “London has long been one of the most attractive housing markets in the world, and it’s already home to a large population of high net worth individuals. As London continues to attract large numbers of the world’s richest and most successful people, demand for private aviation is increasing.

“In December last year, we took delivery of four more long range aircraft on behalf of clients, which was our largest ever monthly intake. Also, in March we announced unaudited half-year results that revealed a 13.1% increase in revenue and a 25% increase in gross profit – this is a reflection of our strong and competitive proposition, but also a growing market.”

Hangar8 Aviation’s analysis of Land Registry data reveals that it recorded the sale of 278 homes worth £5 million or more in London in 2013 – 60 more than in 2012. Over £2billion was spent on these properties, with an average price of 7.6 million."
